Paul Hollywood and Melissa Spalding made a stylish appearance at the World Premiere of “The King’s Man” at Cineworld Leicester Square in London on December 06, 2021. Paul Hollywood, known for his role on The Great American Baking Show, has been enjoying a peaceful life away from the limelight with his wife, Melissa Spalding. The couple tied the knot on September 20, 2023, after confirming their relationship in December 2019.
Melissa, a U.K. native who grew up in Kent and met Paul while working at a pub in Smarden, prefers to live a private life. Despite their low profile, they made a public appearance at the premiere of The King’s Man in December 2021. The couple later got married in Cyprus in a beautiful ceremony attended by close friends and family, including Hollywood’s co-judge Prue Leith.
Now residing in the countryside, Paul and Melissa lead a quiet life together out of the public eye.
In their Kent farmhouse, Paul Hollywood shares a quiet life with his partner, Spalding. “I don’t go out much as we live in a rural area,” the cooking show judge mentioned, noting that he goes to bed early. Hollywood echoed similar thoughts in a 2022 interview with Ideal Home, expressing his preference for privacy and safety in their secluded home. Over the years, he has embraced a more hermit-like lifestyle, enjoying his personal space, lounging in his dressing gown, and watching TV for relaxation. The couple has four cats, as revealed by Hollywood in a recent Instagram post. Describing their furry companions, he mentioned having at least two Maine Coons who enjoy sitting on his lap for attention.
