Sandra Lee is dialing up the heat in the kitchen.
The celebrity chef marked her 58th birthday on Wednesday by sharing a carousel of Instagram photos that showed her kissing her much-younger fiancé, Ben Youcef, in different locations.
“Best birthday gift ever was Ben! Thank you for chasing me up the street and not taking NO NO NO for an answer! You were right!” she captioned the spicy post shared on Tuesday.

“Thank you God for such [a] wonderful man to get to kiss. Birthday tomorrow- so grateful for my love!! Happy Everything for Everyone! Sandy xoxo.”
All 10 images appear to be snapped by either Lee or Youcef, 45, selfie style mid-kiss.
Most fans and followers flocked to the comments to support Lee’s romance, but one joked that the pair should “get a room.”

“You deserve every happiness! It’s lovely watching your love story unfold,” one follower commented. “Have a wonderful birthday! ❤️🥳🎂.”
“You deserve a good guy, after that last pos,” wrote another, referring to Lee’s ex ousted governor Andrew Cuomo.
She and Cuomo, 66, called it quits on their 14-year romance in September 2019 — months after Page Six exclusively reported they were living separately.

“Over the recent past, we have realized that our lives have gone in different directions and our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship,” the formal couple said in a joint statement.
“We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls,” they added, referring to Cuomo’s three daughters from his marriage to Kerry Kennedy. “Our personal lives remain personal and there will be no further comment.”
Lee began dating Youcef in 2021 after relocating to Malibu, Calif., from New York. The Post broke the news that same year that they had gotten engaged.

“Ben is incredibly protective of Sandra,” a source said at the time. “They’re soulmates and head over heels in love.”
Lee and the Algerian actor decided to move back to New York in 2023 because the former was “not as a happy” living in Los Angeles and wanted to wedding plan in the Big Apple.
“He’s got kids, so he’ll be back and forth,” a source close to the couple told Page Six at the time.
