Love has seemingly brewed on the sets of Bobby's Triple Threat after the co-stars Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson reportedly began dating, per People.

The 60-year-old celebrity chef was previously dating writer-editor and former model Christina Pérez. Their relationship started in November 2021, but the couple parted ways last year in June, according to People.

Later that month, Pérez seemingly wrote about breaking up with Bobby. Christina wrote a blog titled “A ritual for love” for her newsletter A Friend Indeed, in which she shared:

“The plants you gather are meant to symbolize love; to call it in or keep it strong. Each plant represents the power of the sun—how its strength lingers even after the light is gone."

She continued:

"This year, I’ll be doing that same ritual, but I’ll be adding something, too: I’ll scatter last year’s petals to make space for the new.”

Flay and Pérez reportedly met through mutual friends and went public with their relationship after attending the Breeders' Cup World Championship together. Christina Pérez has worked for various magazines, such as Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, GQ, and more, per her LinkedIn.

People confirmed that the celebrity chefs and Bobby's Triple Threat co-stars have been dating for the past few weeks. A source exclusively told the magazine:

"They [Bobby and Brooke] have been friends for a while and recently decided to jump in… Her divorce last year probably gave them some additional shared experiences and over the last few weeks, love bloomed."

Williams, the Top Chef Season 14 winner, was married to business partner Nick Roberts. The former couple reportedly married in 2007 and share a son, Hudson Roberts. Brooke Williams and Nick Roberts separated a couple of years back, and their divorce was finalized in early 2024, according to People.

Bobby Flay has been married thrice. His first marriage with chef Debra Ponzek lasted two years (1991-1993). The former Worst Cooks in America judge tied the knot with his second wife, Kate Connelly, in 1995. They also parted ways after a few years. Flay exchanged vows with the actress, Stephanie March, in 2005, but they eventually split after a decade.

In October 2024, when he appeared on the Let’s Be Honest podcast, Bobby Flay opened up about his current stance on marriage. He told the host Kristin Cavallari:

“Is it [marriage] off the table? If you asked me today, I’d say, ‘Probably yes.’ I don’t know. For me, it hasn’t been the best situation."

Bobby Flay added:

"That said, I don’t feel like I need to do it again. I have an amazing daughter who is 28 years old. I’m not having any more kids as far as I know.”

The Brunch @ Bobby's star dated Heléne Yorke and Christina Pérez but never married again. Currently, the actor-chef is dating the Tournament of Champions winner.


Bobby Flay fathered his only daughter, Sophie, from his second marriage with Kate Connelly.
