Rachael Ray and husband have ‘weird way’ to make marriage work after admitting ‘huge matches’

Rachael Ray and her husband of nearly 20 years have a “strange way” of maintaining balance in their marriage.

During the third episode of Ray’s new podcast, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” Ray invited guest Jacques Pépin to discuss the importance of marriage. Ray told the French chef that she and her husband, musician and attorney John Cusimano, “brought something to each other.”

“You know, (John is) a lawyer and a musician,” Ray began. “I’m not a musician. I’m certainly not a lawyer. I hate reading legal documents and official stuff, but we balance each other out in a weird way. We allow each other to open up to different worlds.”

Ray and Cusimano married in Italy in 2005 and renewed their vows in 2015 at the same Tuscan castle where they said, “I do.”

“You know, (John is) a lawyer and a musician. I’m not a musician. I am certainly not a lawyer. I hate reading legal documents and official stuff, but we balance each other out in a weird way. We allow each other to be open to different worlds.”

During the podcast, Ray credited her husband for being an “essential” part of her success.

“I love my husband, John, and John works with me and built our business and brand together, but we agreed on the concept of service to the community, service to the world, service to animals and children,” Ray said.
