The reality show chef accused of 'ghosting' his pregnant wife and abandoning their children has surfaced in Texas where he's working as a personal chef for Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Sheridan's wife Nicole, 41, posted a video clip of the erstwhile missing chef Charles Withers and quickly took it down – but not before a TikTok user copied it and shared it online.
Withers's wife, Ashley McGuire, accused him at the weekend of abandoning his family and disappearing.
She posted her saga on social media Saturday, asking for internet sleuths to help find him. Within a day, Nicole's video clip of him popped up online.
Ashley McGuire, from Massachusetts, took to Facebook's popular Are We Dating The Same Guy? group to make several shocking claims about famous chef Charles Withers
And now she has found him, she is going ahead with the divorce.
She told TMZ Withers texted her once her plea had gone viral – and now he is willing to sit down and talk.
Taylor Sheridan, 54, did not respond to a request for comment, but had his PR person reach out to DailyMail.com.
The spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny that Withers was working for him.
But McGuire, 32, told DailyMail.com that she has now confirmed her 29-year-old husband is living in Texas and believes that he is working for Sheridan.

McGuire, who lives with her kids in Plymouth, Massachusetts, took to Facebook's popular Are We Dating The Same Guy? group to make several incredible accusations about her husband, who appeared on the Food Network show Chopped in 2022.
The scorned mom-of-two said that she was pregnant when Charles went missing, adding: 'He has one baby he hasn't seen in over a year and one he's never met.'
Ashley wrote that he was 'gone without a trace' and that she now wanted to harness the 'power' of social media to track him down and finalize a divorce.
She wrote: 'I am really about to test the power of Facebook with this one...
'This is my husband, Charles Withers. He loves to be the center of attention but I'm not sure how much he's going to like this.
'Last year, when I was pregnant with our youngest baby, he decided being a husband and a dad wasn't the lifestyle he wanted anymore and he ghosted, like gone without a trace.
'He has one baby he hasn't seen in over a year and one he's never met. He's moved somewhere out of state and changed his phone number.'
She continued: 'Divorcing someone who's completely unreachable is really tough and drawn out, so I'm trying to track him down to get his signature on a few papers so I can finally close this chapter and move on with my life.
'I've heard he is going by "Charlie" now. He's British and charming as f**k. He's a chef and probably never mentioned having a wife of kids back in Massachusetts.
'If you know him, if you're working with him, if you're dating him or friends with him, can you please have him get in touch with me or let me know where I can find him.'
Ashley's post concluded: 'A friend of a friend has got to know where he is.'
