Bobby Flay is feeling celebratory.

The Food Network star, 61, shared a heartfelt tribute to his girlfriend and fellow chef Brooke Williamson in an Aug. 15 Instagram post that included a carousel of photos from their recent travels and a dance-party interlude at the New York City Wine & Food Festival last October.

“Happy birthday to the most talented chef in the universe, @chefbrookew,” Flay wrote to Williamson, who turned 48. “She’s pretty cute too! Xo.”

Williamson replied in kind: “I love you forever ❤️.”

Williamson’s closest friends celebrated the milestone with a “weekend at Bobby’s.” A clip shared by Carly Shapiro, a content creator known for her snack-focused content, showed both Flay and Williamson rolling up their sleeves to create elaborate meals for their guests.

Williamson also shared various flicks and clips from her birthday weekend on social media. One black-and-white image showed the “Sun-Kissed Cooking” author blowing out candles on a cake as she gently pushes back Flay with her right hand, according to People.

The couple has been spotted at public events since they began dating in March 2025 and recently competed against each other in season 7 of Food Network’s “BBQ Brawl,” where Williamson transitioned from judge to team captain.

Flay opened up about their relationship in a May interview with “Good Morning America” tied to the premiere of the new season.

“My girlfriend is now one of the captains on the show, so we’re competing against each other,” he said, joking that he was “basically in a no-win situation.”

“It’s a very healthy relationship,” Flay added.

Flay offered additional details about their working relationship a month later, when a fan on Instagram asked if the pair was as competitive in real life as they are on the show: “Absolutely not. That would be a bad idea. We’re both very supportive of each other.”
