Rachael Ray Loses It When Her 'Daytime Husband' Gets Makeover And Cuts His Hair For The First Time Since Middle School

Jun 10, 2020

In 2019, a 28-year-old culinary production assistant for the Rachael Ray show got a makeover. Max, who is known as Rachael's "daytime husband," had been growing his hair out since 7th grade.

The talented cook has a close relationship with her production assistant, Max. The pair spend so much time working together that Rachael has called Max her "daytime husband." The then 28-year-old man had long hair that was beginning to thin on top.

Rachael learned that Max had not had a hair cut since the seventh grade, more than a decade ago! Rachael hosted the television series 30 Minute Meals for 11 years and to honor the show's reported return, Rachael decided to help her daytime husband by giving him a much deserved 30-minute makeover. The culinary assistant went to work in his typical attire believing that it was going to be like any other, arriving in jeans, a t-shirt, a baggy sweatshirt, and a baseball cap.

Rachael pulled him into the camera's view, scooping Max into a big side-hug. Max seemed a little uncertain of the situation until Rachael began to talk. "There's a reason this man is here today, Max," Rachael said softly. "We're going to give you a little love today. He's here to give you a 'man-over.'"

Max was a little uncertain, but Rachael granted him some reassurance. "You've been here doing my dishes and cleaning up after me," she said. "I want to pay you back, so we're going to clean you up a little and get you a hot date-night." Rachael hugged her pal, who was blushing with embarrassment. "Are you embarrassed," Rachael asked. Max admitted his embarrassment on camera but went along with Rachael's sweet gesture.

The stylist took the time to speak to Rachael about enhancing Max's appearance. When Rachael's daytime husband reappeared from backstage, she was unable to contain her excitement. Max reappeared, handsome, and almost unrecognizable! His long locks had been shortened to collar length, and his face was completely clean-shaven. Max returned to the stage wearing jeans, a dark shirt, a jacket, and a smile!

"You look amazing," Rachael beamed. "I think so, too," Max responded. Unable to contain her excitement, Rachael jumped up and down on the stage. "Oh my god, you look so fine," she shouted.
