Her mom is actress Veronica De Laurentiis, and her dad is actor-producer Alex De Benedetti.


She says the pregancy was a complete surprise, admitting "When I found out I was pregnant I was in complete shock. I truly didn't believe it. I honestly thought, 'there has got to be a mistake." Giada also hosts Food Network shows Behind the Bash, Giada's Weekend Getaways, and Giada in Paradise. She's also a frequent contributor on NBC's Today show.

The Post Chronicle notes that with the baby due in April, fans may wonder if she can keep up the grueling schedule, but there is no word yet as to the status of Giada's many projects.
