Anthony Bourdain‘s mother Gladys Bourdain has sadly passed away at the age of 85.

The mom of the late chef and author died at a hospice facility on Friday (January 10) in New York City, The New York Times reports.

Gladys was a reporter and writer who worked for The New York Times for 24 years since 1984.

Gladys‘s son Christopher confirmed her death as well, noting that her health had been getting worse over the years.

Christopher was also the one who first informed his mother of Anthony Bourdain’s death by suicide at age 61 in June 2018.

Glayds told USA Today about her late son, “He didn’t disguise anything or take on any act of persona. He was who he was, and it was out there for everyone to see.”

“The thing is he came back from his first summer in Provincetown as a dishwasher, and then one of the cooks burned himself or cut himself so badly he had to stop work and Tony, who had been just observing, filled in,” she added. “And when he came back at the end of that summer, we talked about it and since he had so little interest in his college career, I suggested the Culinary Institute and that’s how it all started.”

Our thoughts are with Gladys Bourdain‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Anthony Bourdain‘s legacy was celebrated with several wins at the 2018 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday and Sunday night (September 8-9) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The late chef, who sadly took his own life in June, was honored with six wins in total at the awards ceremony for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and its digital spinoff.

The series won for picture editing for a non-fiction program, best informational series or special, writing for non-fiction program, sound editing for a non-fiction program and sound mixing for a non-fiction program. Anthony himself won for writing and informational series or special, as well as best short-form non-fiction or reality for Anthony Bourdain: Explore Parts Unknown.

“The one thing about this loss is it’s not ours alone, like everybody knew that guy. Everybody had a selfie with him, but more importantly I think everyone felt like he had spoken to them over the years and that’s helped a lot, to feel like we’re not alone” said executive producer Nathan Thornburgh while accepting the honors.

“Two weeks without you,” she captioned the picture on Instagram, which shows them looking happy together on a vacation.

Anthony was found dead of suicide two weeks ago in his hotel room in France, where he was filming an upcoming episode of his CNN series Parts Unknown.

Asia met Anthony while filming an episode of Parts Unknown with him in 2016 and they had been dating for over a year when he died. After his death she released this statement: “Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did. His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated.”

We continue to send love to Asia during this difficult time.

The move also comes after fans rallied for the show’s extension, even forming a petition on Change.org picking up thousands of signatures.

The series first premiered in 2013 and ran for 11 seasons, following Anthony as he traveled around the world to explore local culture and cuisine.

Jada Pinkett Smith is opening up about mental health and making the brave reveal that she had, at one time in her life, had suicidal thoughts “often.”

The 46-year-old actress revealed on her Instagram account in a tribute to Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, who both died from suicide last week.

“With the suicides of Kate and Anthony it brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise…often. In the years I spent towards my healing, many moons ago, I realized the mind and heart can be extremely delicate without the foundation of a formidable spirit. What I eat, what I watch on TV, what music I listen to, how I care for my body, my spiritual practice, what people I surround myself with, the amount of stress I allow and so on… either contribute to or deteriorate my mental health. Mental health is a daily practice for me. It’s a practice of deep self-love,” Jada wrote. “May Kate and Anthony Rest In Peace. Many may not understand… but I do, and this morning I have the deepest gratitude that I pulled through.”
