Matt Hancock told wife Martha that their 15 year marriage was over on Thursday night last week. This was before the release of the video that showed him kissing aide Gina in his ministerial office.
Gina Coladangelo’s husband is businessman and entrepreneur Oliver Tress. The 54-year-old is the founder of high street fashion and homeware store Oliver Bonas.
Friends have allegedly said that Matt Hancock’s marriage to Martha, who works as an osteopath, “is now over” and that he and Gina are a “love match” who are likely to set up home together.
