Divorce With Husband Of 20 Years
Being the wife of a renowned and famous Chef, Nancy’s matrimony with Anthony lasted for two decades. She was older than Anthony, who would have turned 62 years of age in 2018. Anthony reportedly graduated high school early to bond with his love interests in college.
The pair were the high school sweethearts where Nancy was famous as"bad girl" and used to spent most of her time with friends involved in drugs. After dating for a couple of years, the lovebirds decided to tie the nuptials on 1985. The duo never had any child because he was least interested in starting a family.
However, their long-lasting matrimony hit the roadblocks when they decided to have a divorce 20 years later in 2005. Anthony often mentioned that distance due to his professional career caused the separation.
Her former beau was shaken mentally and emotionally after their split. He did not value his own life and had acted the harmful way. Anthony behaved recklessly and was smoking pot and drinking during the hardest phase of his life.
Talking about his fallen nuptials, Anthony on his 2012 conversation for Daily life referred to Nancy as the love of his life and told that she was his partner in crime.
Ex-Husband Moved On; What Is She Up to Now?
Two years later, her ex-husband, Anthony married mixed martial artist Ottavia Busia on 20 April 2007.
Anthony had to live 250 days of a year apart from his second wife and daughter, Ariane Bourdain, which became a strain. After nine years of married life, Anthony and Ottavia divorced in 2016.
In 2017, Bourdain began dating Italian actress Asia Argento after she appeared on the Rome episode of Parts Unknown. Anthony committed suicide at a French hotel Le Chambard on 8 June 2018. The actress had also released a statement on the untimely demise of her partner which states,
'Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did. His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds.
While her late beau had been in multiple affairs, Nancy till now has never thought of starting a new relationship and has never spoken to any media tabloids about her former partner's death.
Following his suicide, his former partner, New York Columnist Paula Froelich, who he dated back in 2005, wrote a powerful written message about depression.
