Giada de Laurentiis Explains Why She'd Never Hook Up With Bobby Flay
Not happening. Giada de Laurentiis revealed to Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen on Thursday, Nov. 5, that she’d never consider hooking up with Bobby Flay.
“We do get together on Food Network Star,” the celeb chef, 45, joked. “Well, we’re very good friends. We’ve worked for many years together, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen because I’m smarter than that.”
After Cohen, 47, told the TV personality that fans wanted the two celeb chefs to get together because of their chemistry, she admitted she’d never date another chef.
“Like I said, I know better,” she said. “I’m one of them.”
The Italian chef, who revealed to Wendy Williams this past Wednesday that she does have a boyfriend, finalized her divorce from her ex-husband of 11 years, Todd Thompson, in September. Meanwhile, Flay, 50, and his wife of 10 years, former Law & Order: SVU star Stephanie March, finalized their divorce in July.
In January, De Laurentiis, 45, vehemently denied rumors that she and her fellow Food Network star Flay had an affair.
De Laurentiis and Thompson share a 7-year-old daughter together, Jade Marie.
