Daphne Oz's Florida Escape: A Closer Look At Her Family Life And Dream Home

Hey there! Let's talk about Daphne Oz. You know her, right? The vibrant TV personality who used to light up the screen on "The Chew." Well, she's traded the bustling energy of New York City for the serene charm of Florida. Imagine that—someone who's so accustomed to the bright lights and fast pace of NYC deciding to embrace a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle. Daphne, along with her husband, John Jovanovic, and their four adorable kids, has been calling Florida home since mid-2020. Let's dive into her new life down south and what she's been up to.

Missing the Big Apple

Even though Daphne is thriving in Florida, she does have a soft spot for her old stomping grounds in New York City. In November, during an interview with Page Six, she opened up about the things she misses most about the city that never sleeps. "The one thing I miss about New York is bagels and cheap pizza," she confessed with a laugh. "There's just nothing quite like the magic of New York's street food." Beyond the food, Daphne also misses the proximity to her family. Her parents, the renowned Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz, live just across the river in New Jersey. "I miss being together," she said wistfully. "And I desperately miss all the things from our old lives before the coronavirus pandemic turned everything upside down."

Settling Into Florida Life

Despite those lingering ties to the northeast, Daphne and John couldn't be happier with their decision to relocate to Florida. The Sunshine State offers them something NYC couldn't—a spacious, family-friendly environment where their kids—Philomena, Jovan Jr., Domenica, and Giovanna—can run wild and explore. It's the perfect setting for raising a family, and it's clear that Daphne has embraced this new chapter wholeheartedly. For fans who are curious about her new life, Daphne has been generous with glimpses into her home through social media. Her house is nothing short of spectacular, boasting multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, entertainment spaces, and a luxurious outdoor living area that's perfect for family gatherings.

Family Moments in the Sunshine

In early January 2021, Daphne shared a heartwarming picture of her family enjoying dinner on their outdoor patio. It was a moment captured by John, who has apparently taken up cooking with enthusiasm. "Hubby has been cooking up a storm this month," Daphne wrote in the caption. "Today, he and the kids made pizza for lunch, and they told me that 'rolling the dough was very relaxing.'" She added with a playful wink, "If you assume I am going to ride this train as long as possible, you are correct." Another delightful moment came in mid-December when Daphne shared a photo of herself making "the very best holiday sugar cookies" with her kids in her stunning kitchen. The countertops gleamed with marble, and the entire space looked picture-perfect, much like the cookies they were baking.

Designing a Dream Home

When asked about her favorite room in the house, Daphne found it hard to choose just one. "Obviously, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and I have to say I really feel very comfortable in that space. I do love it," she told Closer in March 2022. But her affection extends beyond the kitchen. "My bedroom is very serene and just like a sanctuary. But I really love our living room. I love our dining room too." The couple opted for a simple yet elegant color scheme of beige, white, and cream for their home. Some might wonder how she manages with such light-colored furniture and young kids, but Daphne has a thoughtful explanation. "I intentionally left it very serene feeling," she said. "It really does make me feel very peaceful in my house, and it's also a beautiful blank canvas."
