Ina Garten says her husband Jeffrey sends her 'love texts' but they sometimes go 'astray'

• Ina Garten's husband Jeffrey sends her "love" texts that sometimes go "astray," the author revealed.
• "My dear friend, who's also my publicist, he sent a text to her, and he meant it for me," Ina said.

Ina Garten and her husband Jeffrey frequently send each other loving text messages — but the "Barefoot Contessa" star recently revealed that sometimes Jeffrey accidentally texts the incorrect recipient.

"He doesn't send letters now, but is it true that he sends you love texts?" host Drew Barrymore asked Ina during the cookbook author's Monday appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

"He does, and sometimes they go astray," Ina replied. "He sends them to the wrong person."

"My dear friend, who's also my publicist, he sent a text to her, and he meant it for me, and he said, 'You're gonna be delicious tonight,' and it went to her," the "Go-To Dinners" author continued.

Barrymore's audience applauded at Ina's mention of the flirty text. And according to Ina, her friend responded to Jeffrey letting him know that the text wasn't meant for her.

"Did she turn, like, bright red?" Barrymore asked about Ina's friend's response.

"I didn't see it, but I imagine so," the cookbook author said.

This isn't the first time Jeffrey has mistakenly sent a romantic text to someone other than Ina.

During a December 2020 interview with Katie Couric, Ina revealed that Jeffrey accidentally sent a sultry text meant for her to "some woman in California."

"It wasn't a sext, but it was close," Ina told Couric. The "Barefoot Contessa" star even speculated that the woman might have been "a little jealous" of the flirty text messages Jeffrey and Ina send each other.
