My name is Jourdan Cha’Taun I am a private chef to the stars and have been in this business for over 20 years. I have worked with Sean Combs, Tyler Perry, Floyd Mayweather, & Dwight Howard, just to name a few. I moved to NYC in 2007 from Seattle, WA with a dream to become a private chef to the stars. I had no prior experience working with high profile clients. And I could only get cooking jobs in restaurants making $7.49. I went through bouts of depression & wanted to leave and call it quits. Then I met a famous author & publicist Terrie M. Williams. She connected me to Sean Combs camp. And the rest was history but not without challenges. I have learned through trial and error how to negotiate prices, and the importance of work/life balance. Within the past 2 decades I have built relationships to last me a lifetime and Now that I have the full blueprint I want to help you reach your own goals in the food industry.

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first.

He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
