First, let’s meet the guy. His name is Paul Hunnings, and he’s been Mary’s husband since 1966. Yes, that’s over fifty years of marriage—longer than most of us have kept a houseplant alive. If Mary Berry is the queen of baking, then Paul is the guy holding the royal measuring cups, probably while eating a leftover slice of her lemon drizzle. He’s not a chef, not a TV personality, just a retired gentleman who quietly supports the national treasure we all adore.
Now, the big question: how old is he? Paul Hunnings was born in 1935, which makes him 89 years old as of 2026. Mary, born in 1935 as well, is also 89—they’re the same age. Yes, you read that right: they’re a matched set, like two oven mitts from the same drawer. It feels reassuring, doesn’t it? Like finding out your favorite baking duo runs on the same schedule as your own grandparents.
