Giada De Laurentiis Jokes About TikTok DMs with Daughter Jade: “Text Me, I’m Your Mother!”
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis recently appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” where she humorously shared the dynamics of her relationship with her 16-year-old daughter, Jade. Instead of traditional mother-daughter chats, the duo is bonding over TikTok, with Jade frequently sliding into her mom’s DMs to propose new video ideas. “She brings me the TikTok influencers,” De Laurentiis quipped, revealing that Jade often scrolls through TikTok at school and sends her mom ideas via Instagram DMs. “I’m like, ‘Because I don’t live in my DMs. Like, text me, I’m your mother,’” she exclaims, perfectly encapsulating the generational gap while still acknowledging their fun collaborations.
Jade, the only child of De Laurentiis and her ex-husband Todd Thompson, has proven to be quite the talent herself. In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Giada noted that while they share physical similarities, she doesn’t see Jade as a “mini-me.” Instead, she takes pride in her daughter’s artistic inclinations—specifically her impressive singing and musical abilities. “It’s crazy because neither her father or I sing,” she said. Jade has been captivating audiences with her musical talents, performing lead vocals with her band, the Hours, and even teaching herself to play the keyboard and guitar during the pandemic.
Fans have been taken aback by Jade’s vocal prowess, with social media comments praising her singing skills, echoing sentiments like, “Omg Jade is an incredible singer!” While Giada has no musical inclination herself—confessing that her family never highlighted such talents—she is in awe of Jade’s self-taught skills. This dynamic duo is a prime example of modern parenting, where social media serves as a bridge for connection, creativity, and a good dose of lighthearted banter. Giada’s down-to-earth approach to parenting, coupled with Jade’s blossoming talent, suggests that this mother-daughter duo is redefining what it means to bond in the digital age.
In a world where TikTok reigns supreme, it’s refreshing to see such genuine familial connections emerge from the scroll. So, whether it’s TikTok ideas or singing lessons, Giada and Jade are making waves together, one DM at a time.
