Cusimano, with Ray's remarks that the pair get into screaming matches worrying some that she might be hurting herself by putting undue strain on her blood

However, a video Ray shared to Instagram stunned many fans with just how happy and healthy the celebrity cook looks these days.

Rachael Ray's Possible Health Problems Have Had Fans Worried For Some Time
Rachael Ray's joyful and exuberant appearance in her recent social media posts and on her new shows is giving fans hope and relief after concerns for her health were sparked in mid-2024. Many critics and internet trolls began to comment on Ray's weight and her styling, harshly claimed that she appeared to be intoxicated in some of the videos she shared. In one video, posted in September 2024, many claimed Ray was almost unrecognizable, and a few speculated that her unusual speech pattern may have been the result of some sort of mini-stroke.
The following month, Ray debuted her "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" podcast, and made fans even more worried for her health when she hinted at getting hurt several times on her property in Lake Luzerne, New York. "I am a homemaker. I love chores, I love being in the kitchen," Ray said, before adding ominously, "I had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks so I haven't been doing that in a while." While she didn't divulge any specific reason for the falls, many fans couldn't help but think it might be related to some underlying ailment she hasn't revealed to the public.
