Bobby Flay Dating Jennifer Aniston’s BFF? Chef Moving On Just Promo Stunt?
Bobby Flay is reportedly dating comedian Chelsea Handler, Jennifer Aniston's BFF, as they were spotted Wednesday night having romantic dinner at Blue Plate Oysterette in Santa Monica, California.
Page Six alleged that the Food Network star and the talk show host kept to their corner at the restaurant after arriving on the same car.
"It looked like a date," the supposed witness claimed, adding that they were both flirty.
In an interview with People in November last year, the comedian said dating "has lost its allure" for her.
"I have had so many bad dates, I can not tell you which one was the worst," she shared. "I haven't dated for a year, and I am so happy. I can not tell you how much fun I am having just doing my own thing."
"All the men I dated seemed to be the same and none of them have it," she said.
But Chelsea Handler hinted to Ellen DeGeneres about dating Bobby Flay in an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneris Show," although she didn't name the Food Network star.
"He's in an extension of this business," she said. "A friend set us up. I've never met him before but I know of him. You'd know him."
However, Celebrity Dirty Laundry suspects that Bobby Flay dating Chelsea Handler was a publicity stunt.
"Chelsea Handler signed a seven-year deal with mega giant streaming service Netflix for the four-part docuseries 'Chelsea Does' as well as a talk show. Was this date with Bobby Flay material for the Handler's comedy routines?"
For his part, Bobby Flay was reported to be dating Giada De Laurentiis but that turned out to be false as the celebrity chef was confirmed to be hooking up with a TV producer.
Bobby Flay was also alleged to be seeing January Jones for a long time, even before her marriage to Stephanie March ended, and was reported to be the father of her baby.
