Paul Hollywood, chef and judge on The Great British Baking show, famously admitted to having an affair with his co-star and fellow chef, Marcela Valladolid, in 2013. "I did have an affair with my co-judge. It's something which was the biggest mistake of my life because, actually, I still love my wife," Hollywood told the BBC (via The Daily Mail). But Hollywood's wife of 15 years, Alexandra, wasn't buying his remorse. "I love my husband and I was and still am very proud of what he has achieved, but there is no going back and I just want this finished with and to move on," she told The Daily Mail.
But somehow they reconnected and were back together in less than a year. Alexandra, using her newfound albeit unflattering fame, turned herself into a culinary celebrity. She wrote a cookbook and began "appearing on breakfast television," according to The Sun. Not only that, but Paul tapped her to run his company, Paul Hollywood Ltd., which manages his assets. Of their blissful reunion, Paul told The Daily Mail, "Our love of food is the key to it all. The way to every woman's heart is through her stomach." Alex echoed the sentiment by saying, "You've just got to get on with life, haven't you? I'm an eternal optimist, he's an optimist. We're having a good time. The most romantic thing he did was bake chocolate croissants on a Sunday morning. That was a lovely thing to do."
So let that be a lesson to any other famous chefs who are thinking of cheating. If you do, make sure to apologize with chocolate croissants, then step aside while your wife becomes a bigger star than you, and hand her the ability to ruin you financially whenever you screw up again. Simple as that!
