Put a fork in it.
Sandra Lee and her fiancé, Ben Youcef, split, ending their engagement after five years together.
The former Food Network star’s rep, Jen Abel, confirmed the breakup news to TMZ 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 video of Lee — sans her engagement ring — while she was out and about at La Boca in New York City.
At the time, the “Semi-Homemade” cooking concept creator dodged questions about a prospective wedding date, telling the outlet that she was focused on her career.
When questioned about her missing ring, Lee claimed her outfit didn’t 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 “Algerian” actor got engaged and were photographed celebrating their relationship milestone in Paris.
A source told Page Six at the time that the couple was “definitely in the midst of planning their wedding” and “looking at places in New York and the Hamptons.”


Before getting with Youcef, Lee was in a 14-year relationship with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The pair split in September 2019 after the politician, 68, allegedly made a mysterious comment, according to Lee.
“I was in my kitchen and he said something, and the minute he said it, I knew what he’d just said. And every window and door closed. And that was it … He knows what it is; I know what it is,” she told Us Weekly in August 2024.
