Food Network star Rachael Ray isn’t holding back in her new podcast, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead. In the debut episode, featuring guest Jenny Mollen, Ray opened up about her and husband John Cusimano’s passionate, and often loud, disagreements.
Ray believes their boisterous arguments are a sign of a healthy relationship, expressing distrust for couples who avoid confrontation. She prefers open communication, believing it’s better to “get it all out there,” as she puts it. Reconciliation in the Ray-Cusimano household doesn’t involve formal apologies, but rather an affectionate gesture that signals the end of hostilities.
Beyond marital spats, Ray also addressed recent fan concerns about her health, attributing a break from physically demanding chores to a couple of recent falls. She emphasized her love for homemaking tasks, particularly meal preparation and bringing firewood indoors. This explanation provided context to a recent video that sparked online speculation about her health, offering reassurance to worried fans.
The podcast debut provided a glimpse into Ray’s personal life, revealing her candid and unfiltered perspective on relationships, health, and everyday life.
