In 2006, the couple split, with Stacey having her fourth child, son Jude, with Israeli businessman Ilan Slazenger.

However, Paul and Stacey got back together three years later, and he became Jude's stepfather. Tragically, Stacey was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 2018.

Paul and Lorna have been dating for a few years, announcing their engagement in October 2023.
