Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson: A New Romance, Says Insider
Bobby Flay and fellow Food Network star Brooke Williamson are officially dating, Us Weekly confirms.
The couple is currently collaborating on Flay’s series Bobby’s Triple Threat. In this show, Flay, who is 60, invites a chef to compete against three professionals he has personally chosen. Williamson, at 46, is one of the three cooking “titans” featured on the show, alongside Michael Voltaggio and Tiffany Derry.
People was the first to report on Flay and Williamson’s relationship.
Just weeks prior to the revelation of their romance, Williamson was honored at the L.A. No Kid Hungry Dinner, where Flay was present, and the two shared some photos together.
“What an incredible evening at the L.A. No Kid Hungry Dinner! A night full of culinary brilliance, inspiration, and purpose where we united and raised funds for children and families across Los Angeles through the No Kid Hungry LA Wildfire Response Fund,” wrote Williamson on Instagram, sharing photos from the event, including a few with Flay. “I felt truly honored to receive the title of @nokidhungry Chef Champion, and it reaffirmed my commitment to their mission of ensuring every child has the food they require to thrive, especially during tough times. Let’s continue to join forces to make No Kid Hungry a reality!”
Before starting a relationship with Flay, the Top Chef winner was married to her business partner, Nick Roberts. The two, who share a son, separated in 2023, and their divorce was finalized last year.
Flay, on the other hand, has been married three times. His first marriage was to chef Debbie Ponzek from 1991 to 1993. He then married Kate Connelly in 1995, and they welcomed their daughter Sophie in 1996. They separated in 1997, and Flay married his third wife, actress Stephanie March, in 2005, but they divorced in 2015 after a decade together.
Flay was most recently linked to writer Christina Pérez, with whom he began dating in November 2021, but they parted ways in June 2024.
Last year, Flay openly discussed his views on the possibility of getting married for a fourth time.
“If you asked me today, I’d probably say yes. I’m not sure,” he responded during an October 2024 appearance on Kristin Cavallari’s “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “It hasn’t been the best situation for me. That said, I don’t feel a strong need to do it again. I have an amazing daughter who is now 28 years old. I don’t anticipate having any more kids.”
While he doesn’t feel that marriage documentation is essential, Flay admitted that he is “interested in finding a life partner.”
