Paul and Alex were divorced in 2019
It comes after Paul's ex Alex accused him of multiple infidelities during their 20 year marriage. The former couple – who share one son, Josh, together – first split in 2013 after he had an affair with his American Baking Competition co-star, Marcela Valladolid, but they reconciled shortly afterwards.
They then announced their split once again in 2017 after 20 years of marriage.
Alex suggested multiple infidelities in her Valentine's Day post
In her post, Alex reflected on her single status and said, in part: "It's taken me a while to get here and it hasn't been easy, but I love the woman I am now. Women often lose themselves in relationships, we don't naturally put ourselves first and I know only too well that not every marriage/partnership is a recipe for happiness & success.
"My own marriage was too over seasoned with extra marital affairs for my taste and so I opted out and chose the single menu instead.”
