Bonnie Langford's family life

Bonnie shares an 18-year-old daughter, Biana, with her ex-husband, Paul Grunert, who she split from after 20 years of marriage in 2015. The pair wed back in 1995 in Mauritius. According to reports, the star cited 'unreasonable behaviour' while filing for divorce. Speaking about their relationship ahead of their split, she previously said: "I'd known Paul since 1987, when we’d done a show together. But I just hadn’t thought of him in that way. Then a friend suggested we all get together. In the end, she couldn’t make it, so it was just Paul and me. And that was that. It’s always the times in your life when you’re not looking that you find what you need."
