Love, laughter, and a dash of gourmet flair were on full display at the 2025 BottleRock Napa Valley festival, where celebrity chef couple Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson made headlines both on and off the culinary stage.
Flay, 60, and Williamson, 46, who confirmed their relationship publicly in March, added a generous helping of star power to the Memorial Day weekend festivities.
Though the couple didn’t take the stage together, both joined other A-listers for separate culinary demos—Flay partnered with baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr. on Sunday, while Williamson shared the spotlight with longtime friend and Hollywood icon Kate Hudson on Saturday.
The weekend wasn’t just about fine food—it was a celebration of new love in full bloom. Sources close to the couple revealed that while Flay and Williamson had been friends for years, they recently took the plunge into romance after Williamson’s divorce last year. “They’ve been spending more time together, and love naturally followed,” one insider shared.
The two chefs, who already have sizzling on-screen chemistry through collaborations on Bobby’s Triple Threat and Beat Bobby Flay, are keeping their momentum going. They’ll next appear together on the new season of BBQ Brawl, premiering June 1 on Food Network.
Fans also got a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their growing circle of celebrity friends. Flay posted a cheerful selfie on Instagram featuring Williamson, his daughter Sophie Flay, Ayesha Nurdjaja, and Michael Voltaggio—teasing their upcoming appearance on Celebrity Family Feud.
Meanwhile, Williamson documented her fun-filled weekend on Instagram Stories, posting a sweet photo with Hudson, who wrapped her arms affectionately around the chef. It’s clear the culinary queen has seamlessly blended into the Hollywood inner circle.
As the festival came to a close, one thing was clear: Flay and Williamson are cooking up more than just gourmet dishes—they’re serving serious couple goals, too.
