Why she loves Cher
Today, Sandra Lee is 58 years old, but looking at her recent photos, it’s hard to believe it. She still looks amazing and healthy and is always so timeless and classic.
As of 2024, Sandra Lee has been reported to be dating Algerian-born actor Abdulwahab Benyoucef, professionally known as Ben Youcef, since March 2021.
Excitingly, she is currently starring in a new show on Netflix, Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. The series aims to find the best bakers from state fairs across the country, as they compete for the coveted blue ribbon and a grand prize of $100,000. The series is something Sandra has wanted to do for a long time, and finally, Netflix took the plunge to make it happen.
”I presented the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship to Food Network all those years ago and they didn’t buy it and I was like, “Are you kidding me?” It was crazy, and I was like the hottest thing on that network at the time, and I just couldn’t believe it!,” she told Daily Mail.
In addition to her new series, Sandra is deeply involved with QVC’s Age of Possibility platform, which aims to empower women over the age of 50—a cause she is passionate about.
“I think what happens when you turn 50 is that you realize—if you’re lucky—you’re halfway through, if not more. Your body is changing, and you have to pay attention to all those things.”
Speaking with Daily Mail, Sandra was asked if she feels any stress or pressure to look good while on camera. In the appearance-focused world of Hollywood, it’s certainly a relevant question, but Sandra provided a great response.
”There’s a reason why we all like wash our face and put lotion on and put makeup on. I don’t think any of us are going down without a fight. I’m in the Cher camp – whatever makes you feel hot, do it!’”, she urged.
Reflecting on Sandra Lee’s fascinating life journey, it’s clear that her road to success is a tapestry of resilience, creativity, and dedication.
