Brooke Williamson Sizzles in Star-Studded 47th Birthday Bash Alongside Boyfriend Bobby Flay

Brooke Williamson didn’t just turn 47; she celebrated like the culinary royalty she is. The chef was surrounded by friends and extravagant and yummy dishes, as well as a wave of love strong enough to power a restaurant’s kitchen all week long.

In case you didn’t know who Williamson is, let’s fix that. A Los Angeles native, Williamson rose through the kitchen ranks and won Top Chef Season 14, turning industry fame into a multisensory empire. She now heads popular LA-area restaurants and shines as one of the titans on “Bobby’s Triple Threat,” alongside Bobby Flay and Michael Voltaggio.

But beyond her accolades, she’s a real hard worker who has successfully earned her title. She’s a restaurateur, TV personality, cookbook author, and a mom. Her approach? Vegetable-forward, creative, and always grounded in genuine flavor. She’s been killing it in the food world long before media cameras ever zoomed in.

A Birthday Week to Remember

Williams celebrated her 47th birthday the way she lives, which is centered in flavor, community, and laughter. On Instagram, she shared a montage of cherished moments from her birthday week, from poolside lounging to hearty kitchen hugs, tennis matches, sparkler-lit patios, and, of course, a lobster roll outing with Antonia Lofaso and a tennis match with Summer House’s Hannah Berner.

Bobby Flay was front and center in the montage too, delivering a candlelit chocolate-sprinkle cake while friends belted out “Happy Birthday,” then shared an intimate group dinner alongside the birthday girl.

Williamson’s heartfelt caption said it all. “A belated extra loud shout of gratitude to all y’all who made this the most wonderful week of birthday love,” she wrote. “Thank you for making me feel like the luckiest lady on earth.” 

Love, Career, & What Comes Next

Williams and Flay officially confirmed their relationship in March 2025. But their story runs deeper; they’ve been friends and colleagues for years. Flay once told People, “Well, first of all, I’ve been friends with Brooke forever… So it has always kind of been the same for me,” adding, “I love working with Brooke. We have a lot in common. We’re very lucky. We’re both chefs. We both have kids. We’re both parents.” 

Their chemistry isn’t reserved for the kitchen; don’t be fooled. They both appear together this season on “BBQ Brawl,” and Williamson continues as a titan alongside Flay in “Bobby’s Triple Threat.” The new season of which premieres Sept. 2.

In fact, in a lighthearted “Beat Bobby Flay” promo, Williams answered, “What does it take to beat Bobby Flay?” with confidence, only to discover he was leaning in behind her. Cue some very entertained expressions from Flay. 

Between her restaurants, media projects, and heartfelt birthday bash, Williamson is staying just as plugged in as ever. Expect her to continue lighting up screens, dinner tables, and special events!
