Williamson revealed on the April 6 episode of Bobby on the Beat that Hudson was accepted to New York University but hasn’t yet made a final decision — making the prom an emotional milestone for the family.
Alongside the proud mom moments, Williamson recounted a funny exchange about boyfriend Bobby Flay never having used a rice cooker. Hudson chimed in, surprised that the famous chef didn’t know the appliance, and Flay admitted he had "literally never used a rice cooker in my life." Williamson, 47, and Flay, 61, went public with their relationship in March 2025 after working together on Food Network shows; Williamson won Top Chef in 2017 and Tournament of Champions in 2020.
