Celebrity cook Rachael Ray celebrated her birthday on Monday – and her husband of 20 years, John M. Cusimano, shared a tender tribute to his wife via Instagram for the occasion.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, fans have grown increasingly concerned for Ray, as she sparked health concerns last September after she was seen slurring her words <\/a>in a video.<\/p>\n

An insider also revealed exclusively to Daily Mail recently that Ray had been acting bizarrely<\/a>\u00a0at a June appearance at the Broadway Spirits store in Manhattan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Things got off to a rocky start when there were just 20 fans in line as the signing was due to begin, the insider told Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But her husband has brushed the concern aside as he wished his wife a happy 57th birthday this week.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0took to Instagram<\/a> to share a black-and-white photo of Ray smiling as she ate a plate of spaghetti, shot by famous photographer Simon Emmett.<\/p>\n

‘Happy birthday to Rachael Ray, my forever love and forever home, wherever we may be,’ Cusimano, 58, wrote.<\/p>\n

Ray ‘liked’ his post on Instagram and also shared it to her own stories on Monday.<\/p>\n

In addition to her husband, the cook also shared other birthday well-wishes on her Instagram stories, including one from former Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper.<\/p>\n

Harper, who appeared on Ray’s short-lived podcast last year, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, shared a photo of the Food Network star holding up a tray of meatballs.<\/p>\n

‘I love you, dear friend,’ he wrote.<\/p>\n

She also re-posted a message from\u00a0Leary Firefighters Foundation, where she acts as a member of their board.<\/p>\n

The birthday tribute comes after Ray\u00a0spilled all the raunchy details<\/a> about her relationship with Cusimano during a podcast appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I couldn’t wait to get him in the sack\u2026 and he is a blessed man,’ she said during an appearance on iHeart’s I’ve Never Said This Before<\/a> podcast with Tommy DiDario.<\/p>\n

She further teased that she is a ‘very lucky lady’ while recalling a moment from her wedding.<\/p>\n

‘I had to buy two different sized suits for our wedding from Prada because his jacket was one size and his trouser was another,’ she said. ‘I certainly am \u2014 I am a very lucky lady.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lovebirds exchanged vows in a lavish 2005 wedding held at a castle in Tuscany, Italy. Ten years after, the duo reaffirmed their commitment to each other at the same castle in the Florence region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On her podcast, she has also spoken about the ‘huge screaming matches’ she gets into with Cusimano.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Ray also divulged that she and Cusimano do not outwardly apologize to each other, but have a nonverbal way of mending fences after a fight.<\/p>\n

She reflected that ‘it’s very hard, especially for hot-tempered or creative or vociferous, shall we say, loud people to be able to just calm it down.’<\/p>\n

She confessed: ‘John and I don’t calm it down ever. We have huge screaming matches all the time. But I think that’s healthy, I really do, and I don’t trust people that are too quiet\u2026 Too quiet freaks me out. I prefer that you tell me what you think when you think it, and just let’s get it all out there. Get it out there.’<\/p>\n

When her guest, Jenny Mollen asked whether Ray or Cusimano says sorry first after a fight, Ray shared: ‘I don’t know that we ever apologize to each other.’<\/p>\n

She explained: ‘Eventually, I pat him on his a** or he kisses me on the head, and that’s just sort of it. That’s the apology. It’s just sort of understood: “All right. I still like your a**.” “I still like your head.” It’s kind of in that zone.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
