Career

[edit]

At 16, London began throwing parties for his friends, which eventually landed him on "Page Six" as a "party-going L.A. hipster". By the time he received formal training at the French Culinary Institute, he had secured a food column in OK! Magazine and had prepared dishes for his celebrity friends Justin Timberlake, Mary-Kate Olsen, and former love interest Rihanna"[1]

Travis has been featured in OK! Magazine,[5] Us Weekly,[6] The New York Daily News,[7] The Huffington Post,[8] The Sun Post Weekly, Uptown Magazine, Vibe,[9] Shape,[10] Latina,[11] Cosmopolitan,[12] Venue, and the Miami Herald.

Cooking Influences

[edit]

Travis' African-American grandfather, who was from Georgia, and Mexican maternal grandmother, taught Travis how to raise chickens, cook collard greens, and master homemade tamales.[13] London credits his approach to eating healthy as being influenced by growing up with his mother being overweight. He has stated that at 13 he discovered healthy meals for his mother while watching Suzanne Somers on the Home Shopping Network.[14]

Personal life

[edit]

London has dated Alejandro Barberena as well as Rihanna[15] and Mary-Kate Olsen.[16] He and Bruce Douglas Patrick, who is a retired tax lawyer for Exxon and other companies, were married on November 4, 2023.[17]
