It has been a big year for Paul Henry. Not only did he pen his third book, I’m in a United State, and launch his third vintage wine; he also gave away his youngest daughter Bella, who married in March, then a week later wed his fiancé, Auckland entrepreneur Diane Foreman.
Married life is “just beautiful”, the retired broadcaster says with unexpected softness. “We’ve just got a very, very lovely relationship.”
Adds Diane, “We’re both just incredibly happy, and we feel privileged and blessed to have each other.”
Paul and Diane, both 60, first met 15 years ago and became firm friends, with their families also becoming interconnected. At one point, the pair were also romantically involved.
“But times were different the first time,” Paul reflects. “We were both very busy. Diane was working every hour under the sun and I was working every morning and many evenings as well. Her children were younger, my children were younger... It just wasn’t the perfect time for us, and now it is.”
The couple, who have seven children between them – Paul, three adult daughters, and Diane, four adult children – got back together “a comparatively short time ago”.
“And it was just so obvious that it would be a waste of our lives not to marry,” Paul smiles.
As the pair settle into their chat with the Weekly, sipping takeaway coffee that Diane has just brought home “because we’ve got about 25 coffee machines that neither of us know how to use!”, it’s impossible not to see how content they are.
