Bobby Flay is moving on after his recently finalized divorce. Rumor has it that Flay is now seeing actress Heléne Yorke. So who exactly is his reported new girlfriend? Here’s what we know about Yorke.
‘Masters of Sex’
You may know Heléne Yorke from Showtime’s period drama Masters of Sex. She has been a recurring star on the show, playing Jane Martin, the seemingly unassuming hospital secretary who became Virginia Johnson’s (Lizzy Caplan) first major recruit for her sex study.
‘The Night Before’
Though she’s best known for her turn in Masters of Sex, she has also started making waves on the big screen. Yorke recently appeared in last year’s comedy The Night Before, starring Rogen, Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie.
‘Grease’ on Broadway
Her first job on Broadway was serving as an understudy for the role of Marty in Grease. “I’ll never forget the first moment I stepped on a Broadway stage. It was in Grease, and I knew it was momentous,” she told Broadway.com of the experience. “My parents were there, and I got into a cab with them afterward and started crying.”
She has since also starred in the 2014 musical Bullets Over Broadway as the ditzy aspiring actress Olive Neal.
College roommates with a fellow theater actor
Yorke attended the University of Michigan, as captured by her school pride above. During her time there, she roomed with fellow Broadway star Andrew Keenan-Bolger (middle). “Andrew Keenan-Bolger was my college roommate for two years. Instead of going to tap class, we’d be in our underwear eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos on our futon, watching Paula Deen for hours.” she told Broadway.com.
She met Bobby Flay at a Knicks game
According to Page Six, Flay met Yorke at a Knicks game in December. The two reportedly sat just a seat away from each other in the celebrity-crowded front row at Madison Square Garden.
Their relationship is new
The two are reportedly in the early stages of a relationship and are apparently still keeping any potential romance under wraps. Case in point? When called for a comment, a rep for the Food Network star told Page Six that Flay and Yorke are just friends.
‘American Psycho’ on Broadway
Yorke is about to headline another big TV show. She is set to star in Epix’s upcoming original series Graves, a single-camera half-hour political satire produced by Lionsgate. Per Deadline, she will play Olivia Graves, who was the “perfect” darling of the country as the First Daughter growing up in the White House. After her congressman husband’s infidelity is exposed, her life spirals out of control. She joins a star-studded cast that also includes Nick Nolte and Skylar Astin.
Yorke is also set to return to Broadway this month in the production of the musical thriller American Psycho. Yorke will portray the character of Evelyn Williams.
