BOBBY Flay is an American celebrity chef notably recognized as the host of several Food Network television shows.
During his time as a chef, he has been in several relationships, but now fans are wondering who the star is dating.
Bobby Flay and Christina Perez reportedly started dating in 2021
Who is Bobby Flay dating?
The 58-year-old celebrity chef revealed he’s been seeing someone during a September 2021 appearance on the Today show to promote his book Beat Bobby Flay.
“My girlfriend doesn’t eat meat so I had to adjust,” he said while cooking vegetable chili.
In August 2022, Bobby Flay opened up to ET’s Rachel Smith about his girlfriend, Christina Perez.
“They’re going great. I’m a very, very lucky person,” Bobby said.
“Christina, she’s just a light in my life. She’s so sweet. She’s so smart. She just enhances everything that I’m able to participate in with her. I mean, she’s fantastic.”
“For now, I like it exactly the way it is. I think Christina does too,” said Bobby when asked about marriage.
Prior to his relationship with Christina, Bobby admitted he’s been riding solo since his last serious relationship ended in 2019 during a February 2021 episode of his show, Beat Bobby Flay, telling host Fran Drescher, “I’m very single.”
“She [Helene Yorke] kicked me to the curb,” he added, hinting that his last romance didn’t end well.
However, Fran took her shot at the chef, inviting him to accompany her to an art gallery at the time, to which he replied: “Are you asking me on a date? I’m kind of blushing right now.”
It is unclear whether Bobby ever followed up on Fran’s advances.
