Following reports that famed chef, Bobby Flay was divorcing his wife , Stephanie March, a new story is alleging the split was due to Flay having an affair.

Apparently March learned of her husbands infidelities around the holidays back in November. According to Fox News , Flay reportedly had a relationship with 28-year-old Elyse Tirrell, a hostess at his Bar American in Midtown. In 2008, she became his assistant.

According to Stephanie March’s friend, Maia Madison, Flay’s wife was “sobbing uncontrollably,” and couldn’t believe that the last ten years of her life were a “lie.”

Turns out, the two women were even around each other a number of times without March being aware that the hostess was having an affair with her husband. “Elyse had even been to Stephanie’s home when she was there — and when she wasn’t.”

Madison even continued saying, ““Now this girl is about to ¬become the Monica Lewinsky of the food world.”

Since filing for divorce, March has accused Flay of canceling her credit cards and is requesting a higher monthly spousal support.
