Cooking Couple The Neelys Call It Quits

The Food Network’s hit cooking couple of Down Home With The Neelys have SPLIT after 11 seasons of the series and twenty years of marriage.

CelebNMusic247.com has learned via TMZ that a sources close to celebrity chefs Pat and Gina Neely reveals that the marriage was doomed even before the show fired up in 2009. In fact the pressures of the TV series made things a lot worse for Pat and Gina Neely.

We’re told the Neelys had no idea the show would endure but they rode the fame train when it became a hit … with each accusing the other of having an unquenchable thirst for the spotlight.

Now that they’ve thrown in the towel … he’s splintered off by himself and believes Gina will fail without him. The reason … his family owns the famous recipes and he’s the master chef. As for her … she thinks she can trump him because she’s a bigger TV personality.

They will still be tied at the hip in NYC … where they co-own Neely’s Barbecue Parlor. They have no plans to sell it.
