Sandra Lee opened up about feeling her 'first love again' with her boyfriend, Brian Youcef, after overcoming years of romantic and physical hardships.
Sandra Lee romance still feels brand new three years into her relationship with her fiancé. 'It's just completely different. It's almost like. It's almost like having a first love again for me. And I think for him, I am his first love,' the 'Blue Ribbon Baking Championship' host told Fox News Digital. She continued, 'So it just it's a completely different relationship than I think either one of us have had before.
When I had a breakup, I moved to California to be by my uncle, and that just turned out to be the very best thing for me. And I got to spend time with him I would have never gotten to spend. And we went on so many trips together and checked off so many items on his bucket list, and that's what I wanted to do, and that's what I did,' she recalled. Handling the whirlwind of emotions helped Lee learn a lot about herself. 'I just let it be. I just let it breathe.
love the fact that they help one another when one is in trouble and struggling. They would leave their stations and help their fellow competitors, not to the detriment of themselves, but enough to get them over a hump. And they were truly happy for one another,' she said. For Lee, the show also highlights some true Americana with its state and county fair aesthetic. 'For me, when you're looking at who we are as America, it's the people who go to the state fairs.
remember what I ate, I remember I had my first kiss on the tram going across the fairgrounds with a boy named Ben when I was 13. Like the state fairs are a thing. You eat, you have fun, you go on rides, you play with your friends, you hang out, you know, it's good, clean fun.' 'The Blue Ribbon Baking Championship' has also been a labor of love for Lee. She created the show 12 years ago, and found that even after all that time, there were still last-minute changes to be made.
It's a living thing. I mean, right in the middle of the first, the first day of taping, we decided we were going to shoot it like every other food competition where you stop down, people go home and everybody's rested, and everybody's fine. And we looked at, we went, that's not real life. That's not what happens in the world. This is $100,000 is, you know, someone has to be the best baker with all the stress and all the pressure and all the challenges.
