Bobby Flay & Stephanie March have separated after ten years of marriage

wenn2778866

There have been rumors about Bobby Flay’s wandering eye for as long as I can remember. Flay married Law & Order: SVU star Stephanie March in 2005 – it was his THIRD marriage and her first. And rumors followed them everywhere. I still believe something very fishy happened between Flay and January Jones, and there were also rumors about Flay and Giada de Laurentiis. Incidentally, Flay and Giada were together in Miami just before she announced her divorce too. But I’m sure it’s nothing, right? Right. Plus, some commenters always claimed that Flay likes a certain types of pretty young ladies to work at his restaurants. All of this is totally unconfirmed, of course. But now it looks like Stephanie March might have had enough!

“Iron Chef” Bobby Flay cooks his steaks medium rare … but his marriage is well, done, and divorce is right around the corner. Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … Bobby and his wife, “Law and Order: SVU” star Stephanie March, separated 3 weeks ago. Flay moved out of their NYC home.

We’re told both have hooked up with attorneys … and divorce talks have started.

The marriage has been deteriorating over the past year-and-a-half. We’re told things reached a boiling point last year when Bobby didn’t come to the hospital until the day after Stephanie’s appendix burst. She was livid when she claims he said he was busy with work and had to leave before she was discharged … but offered to send his assistant to help out.

Bobby and Stephanie celebrated 10 years of marriage in February … only not together. We’re told Flay spent the time in Florida at a wine festival with his ‘B-Team’ — his group of assistants. Bobby and Stephanie were married in 2005 and have no kids together — he already has 2 previous divorces under his belt … this will be her first.

[From TMZ]

Yeah, just my opinion: they’ve been on the rocks for a while. And a lot of people saw this coming, and a lot of people have wondered what took Stephanie so long to see that Flay is a total dog. Oh well… better late than never. I kind of hope Stephanie cleans his clock financially. I’m also wondering if it’s “suspicious” that Flay and Giada both split from their partners within four months of each other?

    I knew something strange was happening after January Jones got in that car accident and he was the person she called. ADA Alexandra Cabot is gorgeous and can do better. ETA: she would have been perfect for Amazing Amy in Gone Girl.

    • Kitten says:

      She’s 40! Not that 40 is old by any means, but I would have pegged her for 34.

      • RJ says:

        That’s what weekly facials and $500 moisturizer can do for you

      • Holly Hobby says:

        The pictures with the blonde hair are older ones. The most recent ones she’s a brunette. She doesn’t look happy in the recent pics either. Like all the joy was sucked out of her.

  2. taterho says:

    Had no idea they were married. I follow all the SVU stuff and nope. No clue. I was probably distracted by Det. Stabler’s butt.

  3. mimif says:

    Eyebrows. The End.

    Bobby Flay and Giada de Laurentiis – a match made in Hell’s Kitchen.

    • SnowGlow says:

      OMG imagine if they had kids?!

    • Judyk says:

      Yes, it would be a match made in Hell’s Kitchen. I’m a Bobby Flay fan because I’m a total foodie, but I don’t think he is marriage material and always thought there was something to the rumors about him and January Jones.

      If he is hooking up with Giada (ugh), I will lose every ounce of remaining respect I had for him.

    • fritanga says:

      Well, it would be an open marriage for sure. Heh.

      Flay has been known in culinary circles as a total cheater aind horn dog since the 1980s, when he started his NYC restaurant empire. One of his ex-wives, Debra Ponzek (also a great chef), wasn’t shy about calling him what he was (is). When he married March I knew it was doomed from the start. The guy just can’t keep it in his pants.

  5. littlestar says:

    It will be interesting to see if Giada and Bobby get together now!

  6. aims says:

    I’m surprised they lasted as long as they had. I hope she gets a huge check from her marriage with him, I have a feeling she’s earned it.

  7. Tiffany says:

    She held out for the 10 year mark. That is the magic number for community property, right? Or the pre nup can be voided.

    • Birdie says:

      Ah, yes!! Hopefully she gets a lot. Tom Cruise broke up with Nicole just before the ten year mark to avoid paying so much.

    • Bridget says:

      They’re in NY not California.

      • Tiffany says:

        And I doubt California is the only community property state.

      • lucy2 says:

        It’s not, but it looks like NY isn’t one of them.
        Unless they had a solid pre-nup, I’d have to think after 10 years during which his business expanded greatly, she’s going to get a hefty settlement.

      • Bridget says:

        10 years being the mark of an extended marriage is specific to the state of California – it entitles the spouse to maintain the standard of living they are used to in their marriage. It’s not about whether or not the state is Common Law (which New York isn’t anyway).

    • Oy vey says:

      Bingo 😉

  8. Lady L says:

    Is he baby Zander’s daddy- I’d love to know…. I really miss Mesa Grill. Great brunch.

    • someone says:

      That was my first thought when I read he was with January Jones.

    • TQB says:

      I have ALWAYS believed so. The gossip about them was SO bad – she was spotted with him one night, and then doing the walk of fame in the same dress the next morning or something. She announced her mysterious pregnancy shortly thereafter.

      I feel like we’ll get the full story in her memoir in like 25 years… vintage gossip is the best.

      • Andrea says:

        Hmm interesting spin on the January Jones saga. For the longest time, I have heard it happend on x-men set, but now this puts another twist to it. It really could be his kid too. So many options here. I really wish it would come out already, afterall Minnie Driver finally dished about her baby daddy.

    • lila fowler says:

      I still think the dad is director Matthew Vaughn. He and January were filming X-Men that Fall, then she would have gotten pregnant in December (announced it in April). The timing works and the kid looks like him (and Matthew’s son with Claudia Schiffer).

  9. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    His dong must be wrapped in gold, with diamonds as hanging balls…

  10. Birdie says:

    Like her on SVU, I’m obsessed with the show. Cheating is simply disgusting, why get married if you can’t keep it in your pants?

    • Lady D says:

      Started watching Law and Order about 6 months ago. I’m totally obsessed with it too. I’m watching all 3 shows.
      I found out just last week that ADA Cabot was married to that douche.

  11. HoustonGrl says:

    Wow, how is this garden gnome getting all the ladies? Is the flay dong magic or something?

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I think he reels them in with his behavior. I watched his show last summer for the first time, knowing all of the cheating rumors. I was expecting a douchebag extraordinaire. NOOOPE. He was very sweet, earnest about his food–just the way he explained it. It was like he REALLY wanted to do a good job. If that extends into his personal life, I can see how he hooks these women in.

    • Sam says:

      I heard a radio interview with him once and he can come across as very personable, friendly, very self-deprecating, etc. That can be very attractive. And he can cook, which ain’t that bad. He stated that he thought he was able to rope a lot of women into relationships because he always cooked them breakfast the morning after. I guess that’s a plus for some ladies.

    • Kitten says:

      Have you watched his show?
      He’s likable guy that I would probably have a mild crush on if I didn’t know he was such a huge douche canoe.

      • Cheryl says:

        “he always cooked them breakfast the morning after”
        Let me just hang on to this thought for a moment. Savour it. A man who has some skills..in the kitchen. And then wanders away.

      • KellyBee says:

        Really I always found him to be a douchebag before I even know anything about hes personal life.

  12. Lisa says:

    Now he can marry Giada!

    • meme says:

      Yuck. I can’t stand her and her teeth. And no way she eats much.

      • Lisa says:

        I actually think she’s truthful about what she eats. I don’t think she’s that skinny, if you really look at her. I wouldn’t call her *fat*, but she doesn’t look like she starves either.

      • Judyk says:

        Her rectangular smile and teeth drive me up the wall. Giada loves only Giada.

      • Natty says:

        Her most recent cookbook is supposedly what she eats when she’s not filming. It’s pretty low-cal, low-carb, but filling. Lots of vegetarian recipes and mainly lean protein (lots of fish). I think that cook book is probably pretty honest about how she really eats — carefully controlled calorie and nutrient intake, but a diet of healthful, nutritious foods and not starving herself. I tend to believe that she is naturally small-framed and watches her calorie intake and exercises regularly.

      • Sherry says:

        I think she eats what she cooks, but keeps her portion sizes very small and eats mostly healthy foods. Not a fan after hearing all the rumors. All I can think of now when I see her show is, “How many men have you cheated on your husband with?”

  13. Jane says:

    This man pisses me off to no end. I have never seen a more arrogant person in my life.

    • marjiscott says:

      And Now he will be paying for it!

    • Janie says:

      I agree Jane! He’s a narcissistic a-hole! I read her mom is battling cancer and Stephanie is her care giver, she moved her mom in. It’s also reported she opened a makeup/hair place in NY. I hope she takes him to the cleaners. Prayers and kind thoughts for she and her mom.

  14. LiMa says:

    After reading some of the comments asking who would want Flay I have to confes…

    I grew up watching Food Network. In my late teens I had a crush on him. I had a thing for gingers and he had that slight aggression. My family has a restaurant and found out Flay was going to feature it on one of his shows(of course my day off). My sister and jumped with joy when we found. Of course only production and crew came for the filming. As I got older I grew out of the crush and realized what a slimy douche he was. I think Flay is the kind of guy that only attracts girls.
    There is enough charm to reel them in and overlook the asshole.

  15. meme says:

    That’s sad but not surprising. I like to watch Bobby Flay and eat in his restaurants because the man can cook! He’s a player (and I’m sure Stephanie knew that) but I find him charming.

  16. Dani says:

    I’m almost positive they have an iron clad prenup. He did with all of his previous marriages, I heard somewhere. Regardless, he’s filthy rich. And filthy. But good god I would sooo do him. It’s his personality. Watch his shows and you can’t help. I should add him to my list, right under Miles Teller.

  17. tealily says:

    I’d forgotten the whole January Jones car accident chapter! Stephanie’s looking rather January-esque in some of these photos. He certainly has a type.

  18. funcakes says:

    Two marriages (check)
    Rumors of a roving eye (check)
    Best friends with rumored bj queen (check)
    Oh my goodness I have to marry this man!

  19. Nuzzybear says:

    Pretty sure my husband has been waiting out this marriage. I’ll miss him.

    • KayLastima says:

      My son loves this guy but I spotted creep from day one, could never warm up to him. Skip to current events and you will need to add in a pinch of January Jones, a heaping dollop of Blow Job Giada and voila’, a perfectly risen Bobby Flay with a dash of devil tossed in for good measure.

  20. Malificent says:

    A burst appendix is potentially fatal. That falls in the category of ‘drop everything and come running’ when that happens to your spouse.

  21. Ginny says:

    Stephanie is a rich girl from Texas. Her family will see that he pays.

  22. Alix says:

    In other news, what’s she done to her face??!
