Anne Burrell’s husband, Stuart Claxton, has been seen publicly for the first time since the famed chef’s tragic death.
Claxton was photographed outside of Burrell’s private wake Friday in New York City looking downcast in a blue suit jacket as he attended the somber viewing.
The marketing exec was joined by over 100 of Burrell’s loved ones at Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home on Madison Avenue as they mourned the less of the Food Network star.
Celebrity chefs Scott Conant, Amanda Freitag and Marc Murphy were in attendance, as well as Kelly Bensimon and Carson Kressley.

A source told The Post that while the mood was solemn, friends whispered to one another that Burrell would want them to be smiling and laughing.
While he has yet to publicly address her death, her family did issue a collective statement shortly after the news broke.
“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” the statement read.
“Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit and boundless love remain eternal.”
After finding Burrell’s body in their Brooklyn home, Claxton called 911 under the belief that she had gone into cardiac arrest. He was instructed to perform CPR.
