According to The Sun, Paul Hollywood is now single after been dumped by girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam. The Great British Bake Off 2019 star’s relationship is said to have come to an end after he asked the 24-year-old to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The 53-year-old cook reportedly requested her to agree to a legal gagging order, banning her from telling a third party “any information (whether true or false)”. The Sun stated that the three-page agreement covered his divorce from wife Alex, their sex life and his finances.
Summer is said to have refused to agree to the NDA and left Paul’s £1 million home in the middle of the night.
A insider told the publication last night that the former barmaid said their two-year romance was “over for good”.
It was said to have come to end on Wednesday when she ended things, after their initial meeting at a local pub in the summer of 2017.
In pictures obtained by The Sun, Summer was seen moving a number of filled suitcases from her car into her mother Sabina’s Kent property.
On the subject of the NDA, the source continued: “Summer flat-out said no… For someone less strong it would have all been too much but Summer stood her ground.
“… She felt like she couldn’t even tell her family what was happening in her relationship. She decided enough was enough.”
Paul is later said to have apologised and messaged her to check she was OK.
It comes just a few weeks after Paul Hollywood was granted a divorce nisi to bring an end to his marriage with wife Alexandra Hollywood.
District Judge Robert Duddridge granted a divorce decree in a hearing at the Central Family Court in London on July 19.
Neither Paul nor Alexandra were at the hearing, which lasted less than a minute.
The Bake Off favourite and Alexandra were married for 19 years before they split.
The judge granted a decree nisi, however, a marriage cannot formally end until a decree absolute has been granted.
The pair temporarily split in 2013 after the baker had a brief affair with Marcela Valladolid, 41, who was his co-host on the US version of Bake Off, The American Baking Competition.
Paul and Alexandra, who share teenage son Josh together, then reconciled before separating again four years later.
Meanwhile, just yesterday, Paul Hollywood spoke out in an Instagram and Twitter video, urging fans to “be careful”.
