Mary Jo Eustace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mary Jo Eustace (born 1 May 1964) is a Canadian actress, singer and sous-chef best known as co-host of the Canadian cooking TV series What's for Dinner? and, more recently, as the former wife of Dean McDermott.^[1]

Eustace was born and raised in Toronto. She attended Jarvis Collegiate Institute and McGill University studying English. She later graduated from George Brown College's culinary program.

Eustace moved to Los Angeles when McDermott went south to develop his acting career. They had two children, Jack Montgomery (born October 1998) and adopted daughter Lola (born July 2005).

McDermott left Eustace to marry the much younger Tori Spelling. Eustace has since returned to Canada with her children. McDermott no longer has any legal responsibility for Lola.

Eustace appeared on What's for Dinner?, one of Life Network's most popular series, with Ken Kostick throughout its run during the late 1990s. Later, she served as a regular on Canada AM. In April 2007, Eustace reunited with Kostick as the morning hosts on brand new Toronto radio station PROUD FM, a station licenced to appeal to the city's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

In 1994, Eustace recorded a solo musical album entitled Bone & Marrow.
