Heston Blumenthal ends 28-year marriage to wife Zanna in just 90 seconds
The Michelin starred chef was handed the 'quickie' divorce to his estranged wife Zanna who he split from in 2011
TELLY chef Heston Blumenthal’s 28-year marriage was ended in just 90 seconds yesterday.
A judge granted Zanna a “quickie” divorce as the marriage had irretrievably broken down.
A spokesman for Heston, 50, said the process was a formality and that no solicitors or parties were required to attend.
The Michelin-starred chef dumped Zanna, who he has children Jack, 24, Jessie, 21, and Joy, 19, with in 2011, before turning to American cookery writer-turned-actress Suzanne Pirret, 51.
The pair split in 2015 and Heston is currently dating much younger property developer Stephanie Gouveia, with the pair pictured earlier this month in Melbourne.
They were also pictured in December kissing while on a date night at the Chiltern Firehouse, with Heston still appearing to be wearing his wedding band.
Speaking to The Mail’s Event Magazine last month, Heston revealed he had buried the hatchet with Zanna.
He said: ‘We’ve done it. It’s only when it gets resolved that you realise the tension. I feel quite different now. I’ve been trying to free myself up.
“It’s a bit like when you’re making a stew, you keep adding extra things in but it’s still not quite right. In fact, some of the ingredients shouldn’t be there in the first place.”
