Guy Fieri likes to keep his marriage to Lori Fieri pretty private, and she’s rarely by his side at red-carpet events and public appearances. Still, that doesn’t mean she isn’t fully supportive of her famous husband and his many endeavors.
The couple first locked eyes in 1992 when she strolled into a restaurant he was running in Long Beach, California. It could have been an awkward encounter, as Lori was with a friend who’d recently been fired by Guy, and she was less than pleased with her pal’s former boss. Still, he managed to turn that frown upside down. “Her friend had been let go from the restaurant, and they weren’t supposed to be there,” Guy told Delish in October 2017. “I was talking to her friend and saying, ‘Hey, listen, wait a few weeks before you come in,’ and standing behind her is this blue-eyed, blonde girl giving me this mean mug.”
Guy said Lori confronted him and insisted they weren’t going anywhere. He backed down and told them they could stay. The three soon got talking, and the rest is history. Guy and Lori have been married for nearly three decades. He credits the fast-paced restaurant business for helping their relationship survive and flourish. “Multifaceted, never turn it off; you’ve got to be willing to do what it takes when it’s time to do it,” Guy told People in September 2022.
