According to sources close to the celebrity chef, Burrell was overjoyed when she finally met her long-time crush, Sweetheart, in their shared neighborhood.

Although Burrell never got to experience the lush green oasis, her final Instagram post revealed the excitement and joy it brought her.
But behind the scenes, whispers of a more complex life began to emerge.
