Why Curtis Stone almost said no to a first date with his now-wife Lindsay

"It felt a bit awkward." - by Catie Powers
  • 08 Jun 2022

Initially, renowned chef Curtis Stone was opposed to the idea of a blind date, saying it “felt a bit awkward”.

But after seeing a photo of his now-wife, singer and Beverly Hills 90210 star Lindsay Price, the celebrity quickly changed his mind.

“I was like ‘I’ll go on that blind date,” he told 9honey in 2018.

The date in question was all the way back in 2009. Curtis got there 15 minutes early while Lindsay arrived 45 minutes late – a trait he would come to know to be common of the singer.

Not to be deterred by the tardiness, it didn’t take long for Curtis to figure out that he’d met the love of his life.

Two years after meeting, the couple welcomed their first son Hudson. A year after that, the chef plucked up the courage and asked Lindsay to marry him while the pair were in Naples.

The lovebirds officially tied the knot in June 2013 surrounded by their nearest and dearest at the five-star Hilton Sa Torre Mallorca Resort in Spain.

Sharing photos to his Facebook page at the time, the chef thanked his fans for their support.

“It was so special to share our big day with family and a small group of friends. We are thrilled to bits!!!”

In June 2022, Curtis marked nine years of blissful marriage with Lindsay on his Instagram, sharing a black-and-white throwback snap from their nuptials.

“9 years ago today I married my best mate,” he wrote.

“She makes me laugh every day. She is the kindest person I have ever met. She is quirky, weird, creative and extremely thoughtful oh yeah and she has a great a** #married #inlive #anniversary.”

One year after tying the knot, the then-parents-of-one welcomed their second son, Emerson.

The celebrity has deemed being a dad his “most important job” while also admitting the experience of fatherhood has been “humbling”.

“It makes you live a better life, for sure,” Curtis told Closer Weekly in 2020. “It makes you pretty selfless.”

He also spoke about the difficulties that come with balancing his work and personal life.

“It’s hard having a family and being a good chef,” the Australian-born admitted. “You’ve got to be in your restaurant and also be home and be a dad. It’s a challenge.”
