Bobby Flay’s New Romance Is Official After Knicks Game Date!
Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson have officially made their public debut as a couple! The celebrity chef and restaurateur were spotted sitting courtside at a New York Knicks game, radiating happiness and affection. This marks the first time the pair have been seen together in public since news of their romance broke last month.
A Friendship Turned into Romance
Flay, 60, and Williamson, 46, have known each other for years, having first worked together on the 2022 Food Network show Bobby’s Triple Threat. Despite their long-standing friendship, it wasn’t until recently that their relationship blossomed into something more. According to sources close to the couple, “Over the last few weeks, love bloomed.”
Their new romance comes after Williamson’s divorce from her ex-husband, Nick Roberts, was finalized in early 2024. Williamson and Roberts, who share a son, had called it quits two years prior. According to an insider, the end of her marriage provided both her and Flay with “additional shared experiences,” which may have brought them closer together.

While Flay’s current relationship with Williamson is getting attention, he made headlines last year when he tried to ask out reality star Kristin Cavallari.

However, Cavallari turned him down, telling him she was “burnt out” from dating.
