Though Mylo's exact age is unknown, Graham's Instagram posts have helped decipher that the boy was born in 2007.

Graham Elliot and Allie Elliot had their first child, Conrad Matthias, on September 18, 2010.

He is 12 years old and is the spitting image of his father except he has his mother's blond hair. He is an avid fan of YouTube and has two channels to his name.

Graham Elliot And Allie Elliot Have Been Married For 12 Years

Graham Elliot married his wife Allie Elliot in late 2019. 

Despite having a 12-year-long marriage, things do not seem quite clear in their relationship, mainly because on her Instagram bio, Allie claims to be a single mother.

Still, there has not been any news of the two divorcing or separating, so the news has shocked some. But it is hard to find any definite answer about the situation since Allie's Instagram profile is private, and Graham only posts about food or his various media endeavors.

He used to post a lot about his family and partner but has largely stopped in recent years, feeding the rumor of their relationship's demise. Plus, there is also the fact that Graham is currently living in Hawaii while Allie lives and works in Chicago.

Why Did Graham Elliot Leave Masterchef?  

Graham Elliot left Masterchef and Masterchef Junior in September 2015. Graham Chef served as a judge for six seasons. 

He stated in various interviews that he left the show because he wanted to focus on his family and his restaurant business. He owns the restaurant Graham Elliott in Chicago.

However, there were rumors around this time that Graham had left Masterchef due to disagreements with fellow chef and luminary Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay, known for his cutthroat style and for yelling at the contestants, frequently butted heads with Graham, who was known for being more lax and supportive.

He has since returned to Masterchef but hasn't stated how long he will stay this time around.

Graham Elliot Weight Loss Surgery

Graham Elliot took part in a weight loss surgery in 2018. Alongside the surgery, Graham Elliot also took up jogging.

The professional chef has stated that he lost over 150 pounds or 68 kilograms. He gained a lot of fame for getting down to 250 pounds when his weight had been floating near 400 pounds.

According to Graham, losing so much weight was due to fatherhood. With three children in tow, he decided it was time to start getting healthier.

To that end, Graham stopped eating fatty foods and began to exercise regularly. He started jogging in September, and by November's end, he had run his first 5K.

The surgery he went through is called a sleeve gastrectomy. It is an hour-long procedure, where the doctor removes exactly 80 percent of one's stomach and eventually makes the stomach the size of a sleeve-shaped banana.

The professional chef has maintained his weight since then.
