Rachael admitted that her loud personality and quick temper often lead to significant disagreements, but she views these conflicts as healthy. “We have huge screaming matches all the time, but I think that’s healthy. I really do. I don’t trust people that are too quiet,” she said, emphasizing her desire for open communication.
Interestingly, Rachael and John rarely apologize after their arguments. Instead, they share playful gestures to signal reconciliation, like a pat on the back or a kiss on the head, indicating they still care for each other despite the disputes.
Reflecting on their early days together, Rachael humorously recalled how she initially thought John might be gay. She found his impressive cooking skills and his profession as a lawyer to be atypical for a straight man. Thankfully, her first impression didn’t deter their budding romance, leading to their marriage in Italy in September 2005.
This podcast episode comes on the heels of recent concerns about Rachael’s health, sparked by a social media video where she appeared to slur her words. While she has not addressed these concerns directly, she continues to engage with fans by sharing recipes on her Instagram, leaving many wondering if she’ll discuss her health in a future podcast episode.
