Bobby Flay & Girlfriend: Love Without Marriage

On April 2nd, celebrity chef Bobby Flay and his girlfriend, Christy Williamson, just spilled the tea on why marriage ain't on their menu.

The 61-year-old Flay and 47-year-old Williamson told Elvis Durand in the morning show they don't need a ring to prove their love, or happiness.

Flay even gifted her a diamond sparkler, but made it clear it's not an engagement move.

They broke it down simple during Tuesday's chat on March 31st.

Williamson said skipping the wedding doesn't mean you can't be your happiest self.

Flay backed her up, explaining some folks Russian to marriage as the next step, but it doesn't guarantee joy.

The host cracked up when Flay shared the backstory from a park bench in London's Regent's Park.

After Williamson said she's cool, never tying the knot again, he pulled out the ring as a fun gift.

He told her to wear it on the opposite hand from an engagement finger, and added, she deserves the bling anyway.

Flay's been open about this before on Kristin Cavalieri's podcast.

He called marriage off the table for now, citing past experiences, and his 29-year-old daughter Sophie from her previous marriage.

He wants a life partner, just without the paperwork.

These two keep proving loves about the vibe, not vows, and they're thriving just like that.
