Those who have seen Bobby and Sophie Flay together on screen know just how well they get along, and it turns out that it's definitely not an act for the cameras. Sophie and her dad have a very special relationship. While Sophie says that she definitely won't classify herself as a daddy's girl, their bond is pretty strong. "My dad and I are very close, and I am lucky to have such a close relationship with him," she told Parade, adding that the two of them share many interests. They love watching the same shows on TV and even like similar podcasts.
Outside the world of digital media, the father-daughter duo also enjoys watching horse races together. "Being able to share that bond has been great because he got his love for horseracing from his grandfather and it has now passed down to me," Sophie told the outlet, adding that she and her dad make a point of attending horse races together, and when they can't make it to a race in person, they opt for watching it together on TV.
Even though Bobby's always been a busy man, he made an effort to spend a lot of time with Sophie when she was young, and that often meant that he brought her to restaurants with him. This is likely one of the reasons they are so close. According to Sophie, she basically grew up in restaurants. "His restaurants feel like a second home to me," she told Parade.
