Top TV chef Heston Blumenthal, 56, marries for the third time as he ties the knot with 36-year-old girlfriend in France
CELEBRITY chef Heston Blumenthal has married for the third time – tying the knot with his girlfriend in France.
The Michelin-starred restaurateur, who owns The Fat Duck, said ‘I do’ with Melaine Ceysson over the weekend in a romantic ceremony.
Heston, 56, who is known for his Channel 4 show Heston’s Feasts and Netflix’s Crazy Delicious, tied the knot in a village in Provence, France.
The TV star and his girlfriend Melaine, 36, were joined by their family and friends at the ceremony on Saturday.
The happy couple headed to the village’s wedding hall for the ceremony, where they posed for a series of snaps.
Blushing bride Melanie was seen wearing a classic white wedding dress, designed by Emilia Wickstead.
While groom Heston opted for a green suit, designed by Issey Miyake, with his signature thick-framed black glasses.
The newlyweds held a reception attended by around 60 guests, including a number of Heston’s chef pals.
Among them were Raymond Blanc, who owns Michelin-star restaurant Le Manior aux Quat’ Saisons, and Great British Menu judge Matthew Fort.
Guests are said to have been treated to a number of Heston’s signature restaurant dishes, including jelly of oyster and meat fruit, according to the MailOnline.
Heston previously ‘tied the knot’ with his former girlfriend Stephanie Gouveia in a non legally binding ceremony in the Maldives.
The pair, who were seen getting married in 2018, share a child.
Heston is also dad to Jack, 30, Jessie, 28, and Joy, 26, who he shares with his ex-wife Zanna Blumenthal.
After the breakdown of his marriage, Heston was set to make £1million from his former marital home.
He split from wife Zanna in 2011 but she continued to live at the six-bedroom mansion, which cost £2.4million five years earlier.
The home in Marlow, Bucks, is nine miles from his top restaurant The Fat Duck at Bray, Berks.
In 2017, after finalising their divorce, the house was put up for sale for an impressive £3.25million.
Heston and Zanna were married for 28 years after being teen sweethearts.
The chef – famous for his creations like snail porridge – had previously hailed her as the reason for his success.
