As a judge on The Great British Bake Off, celebrity chef Paul Hollywood has gained a lot of attention. His culinary accomplishments are unparalleled, but the same cannot be said about his personal life.

There have been a lot of failed relationships in Hollywood. From his married life with Alex Hollywood to his current dating status, here’s a breakdown of his love history.

In 1998, Paul Hollywood married Alex Hollywood.

In the summer of 1996, Hollywood and Alex met in Cyprus. Alex worked as a scuba diving instructor while the renowned chef worked as a head baker at a five-star hotel.

Hollywood proposed to Alex after only a month of dating, and the couple married in 1998.

The couple went to the United Kingdom a year after their wedding, where the baker took a job at the Cliveden House Hotel in Berkshire. Josh, their only child, was born in early 2000.

With a child and a successful career, Hollywood’s marriage to Alex appeared to be thriving, but the happiness didn’t last forever.

Extramarital Affairs of Paul Hollywood

Because of his adulterous encounters, Hollywood’s marriage to his wife has deteriorated. In 2013, he admitted to cheating on his wife with Marcela Valladolid, his co-host.

Alex quit the professional chef for a few months after the infidelity. After Hollywood apologized for his inappropriate behavior, the two reconciled, with Hollywood noting that having an affair was “the biggest mistake of my life.”

For approximately four years, the couple worked on their marriage, but Hollywood’s new affair caused an irreparable rupture. At first, neither of them said anything about the infidelity.

Instead, on November 20, 2017, they announced their separation in a joint statement. The split couple requested seclusion from the public and emphasized that their emphasis remained on their son’s happiness.

Alex then filed for divorce in August 2018 on the grounds of adultery.

In a January 2019 interview with Prima Magazine, she broke her silence on the subject, implying that her spouse had cheated on her. The ordeal, according to the cookbook author, “devastated” her.

In July 2019, a district judge in London’s Central Family Court granted the divorce on the cited reasons.

After his divorce from his wife, Paul Hollywood’s girlfriends

Before divorcing his then-wife in November 2017, Hollywood reportedly began seeing Summer Monteys-Fullam, a 30-year-younger woman. Ironically, he met her while planning a birthday party for Alex at a pub in Kent.

He was head over heels in love with her at first sight and paid her several visits during her shift at the pub. Fullam was also treated to a dinner date at London’s Dorchester hotel by the famed baker.

Following their public breakup with Alex, Hollywood and Fullam made their romance public and dated for over two years.

However, the former barmaid abandoned Hollywood in August 2019 after refusing to sign a legal agreement that barred her from discussing the facts of her relationship with the 55-year-old.

She even accused him of having a connection with Melissa Spalding before their breakup just a month later. At the time, his spokeswoman, on the other hand, refuted all charges.

It’s unknown how accurate the allegations were, but in November 2019, Hollywood began openly dating Spalding. He even took her to a five-star luxury resort in Cyprus.

The two were sequestered together in Hollywood’s £1 million pad in April 2020. Then, in August 2020, they took their relationship one step further by moving in together.
