Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis 'Affair' Confirmed? Food Network Chefs File Divorce from Respective Partners

Food Network chefs Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis are a hot item right now since they both filed divorce from their respective partners. The two TV chefs were recently rumored to be having an affair since Flay's divorce with his wife Stephanie March was finalized.

The two celebrity chefs continued to fuel dating rumors when they filed divorce just weeks apart. There were reports claiming that the 60-year-old Flay and the 45-year-old female chef were holding hands under the table while having dinner. Giada has denied all the rumors while Booby shrugged off the allegations, Movie News Guide reports.

"Now Bobby's divorce is final, and he and Giada allegedly (very allegedly, but still) both held hands under and carved their initials into the table while having dinner together not long ago," a source told Starcasm.

It is said that Flay and De Laurentiis' names were engraved on the dinner table. However, the Italian-born American writer and chef, who has a seven-year-old daughter, defended herself against the rumors saying that she's now focused on rearranging her life together with her daughter. She also said that tabloids are just after creating buzz because it's their job.

"The last year of my life has been a little more tumultuous, and I've sort of started a new life on my own with my daughter. Cooking has really sort of redefined my life in a way that truly the moment of inspiration and true happiness is when I'm in the kitchen....[As far as Bobby goes], people are going to write what people are going to write. Luckily, my daughter's still young enough that I can shelter her a little bit from it all, but I deal with it and I don't really respond to it, and I move past it. It's going to be what it's going to be."

Meanwhile, it was not the first time that the "Beat Bobby Flay" host was dragged into infidelity issues. He was once linked to his junior assistant Elyse Tirrell with whom he allegedly had a three-year affair.  In 2010, he was involved with "Mad Men" actress January Jones.

The "Giada at Home" host, De Laurentiis, was formerly married to fashion designer Todd Thompson. She was linked to Matt Lauer, John Mayer, and Flay while she was still with her husband.
