Bobby Flay And Girlfriend Christina Perez Have A Bigger Age Gap Than We Thought

In September 2022, Christina Pérez was 40 while Bobby Flay was 57, putting their age gap at a significant 17 years. In fact, Pérez is closer in age to Flay's daughter Sophie than with him. Flay welcomed Sophie with his second wife, former Food Network host Kate Connelly, in April 1996, which means that she was 26 in September 2022, making her around 14 years younger than Pérez. And Sophie is seemingly okay with that. 

"Sophie and Christina have a great relationship, which obviously that's an amazing thing too," Flay told Entertainment Tonight in August 2022. "It's important that Sophie likes my girlfriend." Flay has been learning from Pérez's youthful lifestyle, even in the kitchen. "She's teaching me to cook with a lot less meat," the celebrity chef told People in the December 2021 interview. "And now all of a sudden I'm a big hiker. I'm learning a little of the Zen California way."

Pérez, on her part, is grateful for Flay's sense of humor and all the enticing flavors he has brought into her life. "Happy birthday to the man who keeps me laughing and makes my life more delicious and sparkly than I could ever have imagined — love you x million," she captioned an Instagram post to celebrate his 57th birthday in December 2021, which also made the relationship Instagram-official. And Sophie was there to share her support. "I love this," she commented, adding four heart-eyed emoji.
