Prior to contracting COVID-19, the two were side-by-side for the holidays, putting up the Christmas tree together. De Laurentiis even made Jade some "Christmas popcorn" (put together from her Simply 7 brand butter popcorn with crushed candy canes, a drizzle of dark chocolate and festive sprinkles).

Jade will be appearing on De Laurentiis's new cooking show, Simply Giada which premieres Sunday (11:30 a.m.) on the Food Network.

The series, which De Laurentiis was promoting on Today, is based on De Laurentiis's latest cookbook Eat Better, Feel Better providing healthier alternatives to classic recipes.

"It's about eating better and not skimping on flavor," she said on the NBC morning show.

Shot in Brooklyn, the celebrity chef added in the show's trailer that the setting helped inspire her.

"I love New York and Brooklyn. I love the parks, the markets, the energy, the vibe, the everything. But mostly, I love coming here because it inspires me to cook and live life to the fullest," she said. "It's so beautiful."

She added that the show will show off "food that's light but really delicious, from a hearty bolognese to a chocolatey treat simple recipes you can whip together in a New York minute."
