She wrote: "There are some upsides to this lockdown - I look forward to my daily dog walk with Josh & Rufus. The walk is an adventure and a chance to wander without seeing a soul - our world has shrunk down to our house & garden now, so we have time to stretch our legs to chat and laugh at our daft Labrador half-heartedly chasing rabbits and to make lovely plans to look forward to when this awful time is over…"

In 2013, Paul, 53, had an affair with his American Baking Competition co-star, Marcela Valladolid, but reconciled with his wife shortly afterwards. The couple then announced their split once again in 2017 after 20 years of marriage. Alexandra previously revealed she stayed with her husband for the sake of their son.
Speaking about her decision, the mother-of-one confessed: "I stand by that decision. I believed in my marriage, I wanted to make it work." Despite the split almost two years ago, Alexandra confessed the divorce is still painful. "I'm not going to lie and say it hasn't been difficult, but I'm not broken," she explained. "Divorce hurts. I was married for 20 years. But you keep going."
