The decision to not have children was made early on, and it appears Ina's husband is fully supportive of their joint choice. Jeffrey has been encouraging of his wife and her career before "Barefoot Contessa" was even an idea. "When I told [Jeffrey] I wanted to move to New York and open a food store, he said, 'Let's move to New York!'" says Garten. "That he would not object to moving to a different state for my career was so unusual, particularly 40 years ago," she adds (via Insider).

It is also evident the two feel like they are enough for each other. "If I could be with her seven days a week, 24 hours a day, that would be my ideal," shares Jeffrey ( via Insider).

Ina has said that she never felt judged by her decision to not have children (via The Cut). That is wonderful news to hear. After all, this mega successful cookbook author and businesswoman has already found two loves in her well-seasoned life — and they appear to be enough for her.
