"I mean, I am 50," Burrell told Today at the time. "It didn't seem it would be in the cards for me. I had always been so focused on my career. [Marriage] wasn't something I thought of."
The Food Network star also gushed about Claxton in an April interview.
"October will be four years," she told Daily Mail. "It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase], but I feel like it's settled into married life days, which I really enjoy."
She Shared A Stepson With Her Husband
Claxton welcomed his son, Javier, from a previous relationship in 2005.
Before striking up a romance with the chef, Claxton welcomed his son, Javier, in 2005. Amid the couple's blossoming romance, they took various trips together over the past few years.
In June 2024, Burrell watched the Cricket World Cup with Claxton and Javier.
"The Claxtons hit the cricket today!!! My first cricket match, and it was a blast!! One of those gorgeous early summer days..just perfect," she captioned the post.
They also vacationed at Walt Disney World in April 2023.
Burrell Also Had 3 Nieces
Burrell's nieces lead private lives despite their aunt's success in the culinary industry.
While there is little information about Burrell's family life, the statement her loved ones released after her death confirmed she is survived by her three nieces: Isabella, Amelia, and Nicolas.
"Her smile lit up every room she entered," they added. "Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal."
She Is Survived by Her Mother and Sister
Burrell shared photos of her mother and sister on Mother's Day.

"Happy HAPPY Mother's Day to my two VERY favorite Mothers- MY AMAZING mom and my sister Jane!!" she captioned a photoset.
"You are both just so strong, loving, kooky, smart, and AMAZING women that I am SO very happy to be able to call my family. You have both created fantastic families. I love you SO much!! Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!"
