Kelsey De Santis has an interesting life story. For one, she began her work life as part of the military, more precisely with the USMC. However, a few years down the line she quit in order to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a professional MMA fighter. She moved to South Florida, in order to begin her practice of Muay Thai and other similar skills. In the meantime, she also started a non-profit that helps other veterans pursue a better life and employment opportunities.
She is currently 29-years old, and she was born on 30 August, 1988. She is from San Diego, California, and she is 5'10" (which is 177.8 cm) and she weighs 145 pounds, which amounts to 65.77 kg in the metric system. Her fighting category is in the featherweight category, and her team association stands with the American Top Team. She hasn't had a fight since March 02, 2013, since it seems that she is busy with other professional endeavors (like being a fitness instructor).
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
