Since the two lovers tied the knot, it seems their love has only grown stronger. The two share a passion for cooking and a bond that exists both in and out of the kitchen. Feildel has also admitted that while the public sees him as the head chef, when it comes to his relationship, he is more than happy to take a backseat to his wife's delicious cooking.
"She's Malaysian and Sri Lankan. Asians, in general love cooking, and they love sharing food with their families and friends," Feildel told New Idea. "And Clarissa is a very good cook, and she can cook all different types of cuisines, so I'm happy to let her cook most of the time. I do about 30% and she does about 70%," he gushed about his wife.
In October 2021, Feildel shared an adorable snap of his wife and daughter baking captioning it, "It's Sunday! Baking day! My 2 favourite girls in the kitchen wearing their beautiful matching aprons."

The couple said “I do” in front of a handful of close family and friends in Adelaide earlier this week. “Only immediate family and a few key friends were invited to the low-key nuptials,” our source says. “Adelaide was chosen because it was the half-way point between east and west coast guests, and no one would guess they would choose it seeing as though they’d floated plans for a tropical island ceremony previously.” “The bride looked absolutely radiant and obviously overjoyed at finally hooking her man, while Manu looked like the cat that got the cream,” they add of the elated husband and wife,” the insider adds. The popular French chef, 43, first met jewellery store manager Clarissa in 2011 and was instantly smitten. “We met in a lift going to a nightclub in Sydney. She didn’t know who I was. We didn’t see each other for three months after that, then we caught up for a drink,” he revealed to TV WEEK of their fateful first meeting. “I was nervous, because three months had passed. We didn’t see each other for another three months, then had some lunch. The rest is history.” He proposed in 2013 and they welcomed daughter Charlee in 2015. Manu was previously in a 12-year relationship with Ronnie Morshead and they share son Jonti together. As his TV career and restaurant ventures took off, the chef admitted he was in no rush to wed.
