"You are gorgeous inside and out. And you have a True heart. It is so nice to see you happy," one fan told Lee in the comments.
"You look gorgeous! Your spark is back!" another gushed.
Lee and Cuomo called it quits in 2019 after 14 years together. "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 former flames said in a statement at the time.
The TV chef had a breast cancer battle in 2015 and had a double mastectomy following an early diagnosis. She began her journey getting reconstructive surgery in 2016 and has reportedly gone under the knife several times since then.
Lee has also been on a weight loss journey and said on Instagram last month that she had only "five more pounds to go. Wanted to meet my goal weight before I turned 55 which is tomorrow but I’m pretty happy with where I am—I feel great!!!"
"Healthy thoughtful weight loss goals are not easy but worth it," Semi-Homemade Cooking star added, having reportedly lost 25 lbs.
