Seems like Bobby Flay has moved on from Kristin Cavallari. According to People, the celebrity chef and longtime Food Network host is dating fellow TV-famous chef Brooke Williamson.
Per People, Flay and Williamson “have been friends for a while and recently decided to jump in.” The magazine’s source added that “her divorce last year probably gave them some additional shared experiences and over the last few weeks, love bloomed.” (Flay has been divorced three times.) The duo was recently photographed at the No Kid Hungry Dinner in L.A. on March 17, which might have been a stealthy hard launch.
These two have circled the same food-competition-show orbit for years: Williamson appeared on Top Chef in 2012 and 2017 and served as a judge on Flay’s reality-competition series BBQ Brawl in 2021. What’s more romantic than bonding over smoked brisket and pulled pork? Williamson has also competed on several shows Flay judges; she appeared on Bobby’s Triple Threat in 2022 and 2023 and has popped up on Beat Bobby Flay more than a few times.
Flay had previously — and strangely — been linked to Cavallari after the two bantered about a DM miscommunication last year. “I DM’d you and I said to you — now, I know what words I used specifically because you reminded me — ‘I’m going to be in Nashville for one night. Can I take you to dinner?’” Flay said during a 2024 appearance on Cavallari’s podcast, Let’s Be Honest. “And you literally said something to me like, ‘I’m already dating somebody.’” The two apparently still went out to eat, and Flay called Cavallari “a very good eater.” Okay!
Flay also told Cavallari that, after three marriages, he wasn’t sure he saw another wedding in the cards. “I would be interested in a life partner for sure, but I don’t think it necessarily needs the documentation,” he said. I guess that means we won’t be salivating over a Flay-Williamson wedding buffet anytime soon.
