Put a fork in it.
Sandra Lee and her fiancé, Ben Youcef, have called it quits, ending their engagement after five years together.
The former Food Network starâs rep confirmed the breakup news to TMZ on Wednesday.
Page Six has reached out to Youcef and a rep for Lee for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Last week, TMZ obtained a video of Lee â sans her engagement ring â while she was out and about at La Boca in New York City.
At the time, the âSemi-Homemade Cookingâ host dodged questions about a prospective wedding date, telling the outlet she was focused on her career.
When questioned about her missing ring, Lee claimed her outfit didnât call for jewelry.
Lee, 59, and Youcef, 47, began dating in 2021 after meeting at a restaurant in Santa Monica, California.
That August, the chef and the âAlgerianâ actor got engaged and celebrated their relationship milestone in Paris.
A source told Page Six at the time that the couple were âdefinitely in the midst of planning their weddingâ and âlooking at places in New York and the Hamptons.â
Before getting with Youcef, Lee was in a 14-year relationship with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The duo split in September 2019 over a comment the politician, 68, made in the kitchen, according to Lee.
âThe minute he said it, I knew what heâd just said. And every window and door closed,â she told Us Weekly in August 2024. âAnd that was it. ⊠He knows what it is; I know what it is.â
The following year, Lee made headlines for shouting at an Eataly NYC Downtown employee, âDo you know who I am? Iâm Andrew Cuomoâs ex-wife?â
