One wrote: “So sorry to hear this Tina sending my love to you and your family.” A second added: “I’m so so sorry, Tina. I’m so sorry for your loss. I was in the army with Paul, top man.”
While a third penned: “Tina I am so sorry to hear this, sending you all my love and condolences.” A further shared: “So very sorry for your loss Tina, RIP Paul, thinking of you and Flame.”
The pair split in 2019 but rekindled their marriage after 11 years together. But in 2020, the star announced they were back on as she said the “love next went away”. They share a daughter together called Flame.
Talking to Closer about her marriage at the time, Tina told the publication: “The love never went away, we’re working on things now, our problems were compounded by depression but I learned that in tough times you have to pull together and not apart. We were either arguing, bickering or not talking at all, I’d end up putting Flame to bed and falling asleep next to her.
“Paul and I had always had a great sex life but were barely touching each other. At one point, we didn’t have sex for five months.”
Last year, she also revealed: “Paul and I still have so much passion, after 13 years you know each other so well. He still gives me butterflies!”
