Paul's new wife Melissa is the landlady of The Chequers Inn, a pub in Kent where Paul has previously been snapped cooking up a storm in the kitchen. The venue holds a special place in the hearts of Paul and Melissa, with the pair reportedly first meeting there back when the TV chef was a regular customer.

The GBBO judge has been dating Melissa quietly since 2019, following his split from Summer Monteys-Fullam, 27. He is reported to have popped the question around spring last year, but it was kept under-the-radar with reports of their engagement only coming to light in November.

TV star Paul has been married before to Alex Hollywood. Paul and Alex wed at the Anassa Hotel resort in Cyprus in 1998.

Paul and Alex met with Cyprus in the 1990s, where she worked as a scuba diving instructor. The pair wed in 1998 but later divorced in 2017. They share one son, Josh, together.
