Scarlett Johansson Played Cupid for Bobby Flay
7 Nov
Summary
- Scarlett Johansson facilitated Bobby Flay's meeting with Brooke Williamson.
- Flay and Williamson's romance began after judging a show together.
- Flay gifted Williamson a diamond ring without a marriage proposal.

Chef Bobby Flay's romantic life has a new chapter, with actress Scarlett Johansson playing an unexpected role as a matchmaker. Flay credited Johansson with facilitating his relationship with fellow chef and restaurateur Brooke Williamson. The couple's connection reportedly began when they were both judges on "Supermarket Stakeout" in 2020.
However, it wasn't until five years later, during season 6 of "BBQ Brawl," that Flay and Williamson's romance truly blossomed. Flay recounted how Johansson, married to SNL's Colin Jost, encouraged him to make a move on Williamson. This intervention apparently sped up the courtship process.
Flay, who has been married three times previously, recently presented Williamson with a significant diamond ring. This gesture signifies his commitment without a formal marriage proposal, a personal choice for the couple.
Fans can continue to watch both Flay and Williamson on their respective Food Network shows. Flay is also slated to host new competition shows in the 2026 TV schedule.
