LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis' new boyfriend is reportedly TV producer Shane Farley.

Sources revealed as much to E! News this week after the 45-year-old Food Network star confirmed she is seeing someone new Nov. 4 on The Wendy Williams Show.

The celebrity chef first met Farley when he was poised to executive produce her talk show with Bobby Flay in 2013. Insiders said the couple are "in love," and the star's sister, Eloisa, has since removed photos of the pair together from social media.

De Laurentiis had kept mum on her love interest's name, but did tell Williams she "kind of" has a boyfriend. The Food Network star also revealed cooking helped her cope with her divorce from husband Todd Thompson, which was finalized in September.

The celebrity chef and Tucker were married 11 years before separating in July 2014, and share 7-year-old daughter Jade. De Laurentiis was romantically linked to Flay again this year, but the fellow Food Network star denied dating rumors in May.

Farley recently served as executive producer on FabLife, and previously worked on Rachael Ray and Big Morning Buzz with Nick Lachey. De Laurentiis hosts Giada at Home on the Food Network, and released new book Giada's Feel Good Food on Nov. 5.
