Paul Hollywood makes public debut with new girlfriend at red carpet event

Paul Hollywoodhas gone public with his new girlfriend,Melissa Spalding as they attended a glittering red carpet event together.

The pair cut glamorous figures at The King’s Man premiere in London on Monday 6 December, where Melissa stunned in a black plunging dress next to her new beau Paul, who attended the star studded event in a black suit and open collared shirt.

The celebrity baker, 55, and Melissa, 37, are said to have moved in together and are living in Paul’s countryside home that he purchased with his ex.

Paul and Melissa started dating after The Great British Bake Off judge called it quits with Summer Monteys-Fullam in 2019.

The pair met at Melissa’s pub, The Chequers Inn, which Paul was reportedly a regular at.

A friend of Paul’s has since gushed over the new couple’s budding romance, and said that they’re “madly in love”.

The insider toldMail Online: “Paul and Melissa spent a lot of time together in lockdown.

“They bubbled up together and stayed at his house. Now she is there for good. They are delightfully happy, though it must be a bit strange given it was bought for Summer.”

Prior to taking to the red carpet, Paul and Melissa holidayed in Cyprus – a holiday destination the 55 year old has apparentlytaken his previous partners to.

Most recently, Melissa and Paul visited the country in October after having gone there for the first time together in 2019.

At the time of their trip, a source toldThe Sunhow happy the duo were.

They said: “Paul and Mel are happier than they’ve ever been and are looking forward to a break after a really busy few months.”

“Paul’s been flat out on Bake Off while Mel has her hands full running a pub so they’ve earned some rest and relaxation. Paul’s happier than he’s been in years and Mel’s a major part of that,” the source continued.

Paul met his ex-wife Alexandra in Cyprus in 1996, and went on to tie the knot two years later.

They were married for 20 years, but went their separate ways in 2017.

Their divorce was finalised two years ago, and Paul has since removed Alexandra from her positions of director and secretary of his multi-million-pound company, according to Mail Online.
