BOBBY'S SECRET In October, Bobby revealed on Today that he has a new girlfriend during a vegetarian chili cooking demonstration. Bobby explained he started trying out vegetarian recipes because his girlfriend doesn't eat meat. The hosts immediately asked: "Who's your girlfriend? How did you guys meet?" But the former Food Network chef smiled and tried to change the subject by yelling: "Anyway!" Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush continued to tease Bobby by saying when he came to cook on their show: "We heard this season 'of Beat Bobby Flay ' is different because you have a new girlfriend." Bobby responded: "Wow, that is unbelievable." Hoda continued: "Well, we just wondered that now you're probably ready to reveal. That's fine." Bobby explained to them how the rumor started on his last Today segment, sharing: "No, Savannah 'Guthrie ' loves egging me on. But I asked for it. "I mentioned that I do have a new girlfriend and that she doesn't eat meat, and, of course, I was making vegetarian chili, and the chili went out the window." Bobby admitted he's been single since his last serious romance with Helene Yorke ended in 2019 during a February 2021 episode of his show, telling host Fran Drescher: ...I'm very single. ... 'Helene ' kicked me to the curb." Bobby was previously married to Stephanie March from 2005 to 2015 and they share daughter Sophie. Bobby was also previously married to first wife Debra Ponzek and second wife Kate Connelly.
