One day after it we learned that celebrity chef Bobby Flay had separated from his actress wife Stephanie March, he went ahead and filed for divorce. While sources close to both initially said that they are sad because their ten-year marriage wasn't built to last, it seems like a quite of bit of anger and resentment might be spearheading this split. Aside from feeling abandoned by Flay while caring for her ailing mother and her own health issues, infidelity is likely to turn into an issue as well.
During their decade together Flay was often linked to various other women (such as January Jones at around the time that she was pregnant with her son) and there were rumors of him having a wandering eye — but now one particular connection is raising eyebrows. On various occasions Flay has seemed a bit too cozy with fellow chef Giada De Laurentiis and as luck would have it, she too is going through a divorce.
"In December, Flay was spotted at dinner with petite chef De Laurentiis at Cecconi's at Soho Beach House Miami just days before she announced her divorce. It looked like a friendly dinner," the source said, but added De Laurentiis "definitely had a few drinks." Flay said the outing was "two colleagues and old friends had a quick dinner," explained a source for Page Six.
While rumors of the two having an affair were quickly squashed back then, they have flared up again, because these two self proclaimed good friends have an awful lot in common, including the freedom to date openly now. There are also some questions emerging over whether or not their side romance could have been the catalyst to both of their long marriages unraveling at the same time.
Do you think that Flay and De Laurentiis have been hooking up for awhile now? Do you think that his cheating played a major part in his marriage failing? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
