Giada, Bobby Flay Dating? Reps Clear Up Rumors About Celeb Chefs’ ‘Relationship’

Are Giada de Laurentiis and Bobby Flay dating?

The two celebrity chefs might seem like a good match, but the truth is that they aren’t a couple. Despite recent rumors that the pair had a “scandalous” PDA-filled dinner date earlier this year, Giada and Bobby are just friends.

According to Star Pulse, they ended up bumping into each other a couple of months ago, but nothing romantic occurred.

“De Laurentiis’ rep explained that the couple ran into each other at Bellato in December while she was eating with her agent and Flay was there with some friends.”

Recently, Giada and Bobby Flay both split from their spouses.

Since Giada and Todd Thompson announced their split earlier this year, she has been linked to Today Show correspondent Matt Lauer. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, rumors indicated that de Laurentiis and Lauer had a steamy affair. While those two maintain that they didn’t hook up, Giada has been dragged through the rumor mill mud a few other times. Not only has she been linked to Flay on more than one occasion, but she has also been linked to musician John Mayer.

As far as Bobby Flay is concerned, he filed for divorce from his wife, Stephanie March, in early April. Since their split was announced, Flay has been linked to both de Laurentiis and actress January Jones. In fact, many are now curious to know if Flay may have fathered Jones’ child — because no one actually knows who did (except January).

According to Mail Online, sources say that March knew that her ex-husband and the Mad Men star had sex “many times.” Their rumored affair occurred in 2010, and Jones’ son, Xander, was born in 2011. Jones has never come clean about who fathered her child. When asked, she has always remained sure of herself, and has never given the answer away.

“I don’t have room for anything else, so I don’t know how I would have done it with a partner. I knew I would be raising my son alone. It was something I went in to knowingly, I was prepared mentally – and I was excited about it,” Jones told the Edit back in 2013 (via Us Weekly).

Giada and Bobby Flay might seem like a good match, but they aren’t any kind of official according to their reps. It sounds like their respective affairs — though all rumors at this point — aren’t going to go away anytime soon. And there may even be more.
