Giada de Laurentiis didn’t allow her divorce from Todd Thomas to prevent her from enjoying life. Within a year, De Laurentiis appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” confirming that she’d indeed moved on with a new man. While she didn’t name the guy, she alluded to the rumors about Bobby by saying people have paired her “with anybody I laid eyes on even crossing the street,” per E! News. De Laurentiis also took Williams to task for abruptly asking about her romantic life during a cooking segment. “You know what I love? I love how she just dropped that in the middle of it,” added De Laurentiis. “That’s what makes you good at what you do, Wendy! Catch me off-guard!”
During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Laurentiis took a much firmer stance on her relationship status with Flay. “[Bobby and I] do get together on Food Network Star,” joked De Laurentiis during the November 2014 interview. “Well, we’re very good friends. We’ve worked for many years together, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen because I’m smarter than that.” Laurentiis’ reps also denied a report by Radar Online claiming that she and Flay had been caught getting handsy at dinner. “Back in December, Giada had dinner at Bellato with her agent. Bobby Flay was also having dinner with some friends and dropped by Giada’s table to say hi,” shared her team with E! News. “They did not have dinner, nor was there any touching going on.”
That’s one way to shut down rumors!
