People reported in March 2025 that chef and Food Network star Bobby Flay and chef Brooke Williamson were dating. A source quoted by People, as relayed by TV Insider, said they had been friends for a while before “love bloomed.” Later reporting in October 2026 said the relationship was ongoing at that time.
What was reported about Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson?
TV Insider reported on March 26, 2025, that People had published the dating report the previous day. The account attributed its description of the relationship to an unnamed source—not to Flay or Williamson—who said: “They have been friends for a while and recently decided to jump in.” TV Insider’s March 2025 report
The same source was quoted as saying, “Her divorce [in 2024] probably gave them some additional shared experiences and over the last few weeks, love bloomed.” The phrase “love bloomed” is therefore the unnamed source’s characterization, not a direct quote from either chef.
What has Flay said about the relationship?
Us Weekly reported on October 3, 2026, that Flay discussed the relationship with People at an event on September 29. Us Weekly described the relationship as ongoing at the time and attributed the words “We have so much in common” to Flay. This is a dated account of his remarks, not confirmation of the couple’s status beyond that report. Us Weekly’s October 2026 report
