“When I hurt myself, I got a couple of my mom’s Jacques Pépin videos… and I literally went to San Francisco and started beating at back doors and did it the old fashioned way,” he said on “CBS This Morning.”
Ben went on to become a successful chef, opening Ford’s Filling Station and writing the cookbook “Taming the Feast: Ben Ford’s Field Guide to Adventurous Cooking.” He shares two sons, Ethan and Waylon, with his ex-wife Emily, who filed for divorce in 2023 after 14 years of marriage.

Ford’s Daughter, Georgia Also Pursued Acting

You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff. Being a parent made me just a bit less self-centered.”
