Celebrity chef Mario Carbone and publicist Cait Bailey are engaged, sources tell Page Six.
Spies tell us Bailey has been making the rounds at Fashion Week, including Graydon Carter’s glamorous party for Air Mail and the PatBo show, wearing a “huge gem” on her ring finger. She was also seen wearing the sparkling gem at Kering’s Care for Women dinner this week with Carbone.
Bailey, who works at Align PR and whose clients include podcasters and Tik Tok stars like Alex Cooper of “Call Her Daddy,” Alix Earle, and Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, has been dating Carbone for six years after meeting at his eponymous restaurant.
Sources claim the celebrity chef proposed to her on Italy’s Amalfi Coast this summer. The proposal reportedly took place in front of their dog at the house they were renting.
We hear this place is special because the couple has been vacationing there since they started dating.
Carbone, the red-sauce restaurant on Thompson Street, is one of the hardest restaurants in town to book, attracting A-listers and billionaires, e.g. Rihanna, Mariah CareyLeonardo Dicaprio, LeBron James and Jeff Bezos.

according to New York Times article The report about Bailey was headlined “Kate Bailey Can’t Avoid the Spotlight,” and she was on the set of the filming in Greenwich Village with “Pretty Little Liars” actress Shay Mitchell, who had texted Carbone about booking.
“I told her we were full, but if you wanted to join us, you could,” Carbone told reporters. “She said, ‘Great, I’ll take it.’ And that’s how I met Kate.”
Bailey and Carbone, who co-own Major Food Group with Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick, split their time between New York and Miami, where they relocated during the pandemic.
The New York Times article also reports on a conversation Bailey had at Art Basel in Miami Beach last December, when a guest asked her, “When are you and Mario getting engaged?”
“Oh, I can’t take on another project right now,” she said. “When I’m ready, he’ll know.”
