Matt Hancock and aide Gina Coladangelo ‘are now living together’ days after ex-Health Secretary revealed affair to wife
MATT Hancock and his lover aide Gina Coladangelo are believed to be living together just days after he revealed the affair to his wife.
The disgraced ex-health secretary, who resigned over the weekend, quit on his wife Martha last week after 15 years of marriage.
Gina, 43, has also called time on her own 12-year marriage with Oliver Tress - who was said to have been left "devastated" by the shock revelations.
Hancock is now understood to be living with his lover - less than a week after their affair was revealed by The Sun.
Gina was last seen loading her £70,000 Audi outside the pair’s £3.6million home just hours before news of her affair with boss Matt broke last Friday.
And The Sun revealed last night that the ex-minister will try to turn his affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo into a proper relationship, her friends claim.
A neighbour in Wandsworth, South West London, said: “Gina and Matt are giving it a proper go and Olly was left reeling.
“They had lots of friends here so we are all trying to help look after Olly.”
Martha Hancock, 44, had no idea that her husband of 15 years was having an affair until he broke the news on Thursday night and announced their marriage was over.
Friends have rallied around her after Hancock, 42, and millionaire lobbyist Ms Coladangelo were caught on CCTV in a clinch at his Whitehall office.
Martha, who has maintained a dignified silence after revelations of her husband's affair broke, has been seen out wearing her wedding ring since the scandal emerged.
Family friends told the Daily Mail that the revelation of Mr Hancock's affair had come as a shock to his wife and she had no suspicions over Ms Coladangelo.
Like her husband, she had met Ms Coladangelo at Oxford University - and the pair were friends on Facebook.
