According to court documents, the 45-year-old celebrity chef and Food Network star officially became single on Wednesday, Entertainment Tonight reported.
De Laurentiis married the 52-year-old fashion designer in May 2003. The couple announced their separation in December 2014 although De Laurentiis later revealed they actually split in July of that year.
Because De Laurentiis and Thompson opted out of signing a prenuptial agreement, De Laurentiis reportedly must pay her ex-husband $9,000 a month in child support for their seven-year-old daughter Jade Marie De Laurentiis-Thompson.
The pair will share custody of Jade and neither individual will receive spousal support, according to ET.

De Laurentiis will maintain all rights to her Linguine Productions company and GDL Foods, Inc.
De Laurentiis regularly served as a mentor on Food Network Star beginning in June 2010.
