Paul Hollywood and his girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam have reportedly bought a puppy to test whether they should start a family together.
The Sun claims that the pair have bought a Rottweiler as a trail run for a potential baby.

A source told the publication: “Paul and Summer have got a Rottweiler as a puppy.
“Her sister, Saskia, posted on Instagram with a photo of the dog saying she is looking after it for a few weeks for its mummy, ‘S bunny’, who is Summer.”
It comes after Summer’s sister Saskia posted a photo of a Rottweiler puppy to Instagram, claiming she was dog-sitting for a few weeks.
“Puppy sitting this beast for a few weeks while his mummy is away…” Saskia captioned the post. “I’ve grown too attached to him! Who thinks S Bunny will just have to buy another one and I’ll keep this brute??”
The Sun also claims that ‘S Bunny’ is a reference to Summer – who uses the nickname as her user name on her Instagram account, which is set to private.
Saskia posted another shot of the pup to Instagram Stories, calling him a “specimen”.
Paul split from his wife of 20 years Alex in 2017 following an alleged affair with bartender Summer. The couple have a 31-year age gap.
Another source told The Sun that friends were joking that Paul’s choice of pet was to keep Alex away.
“Friends have joked he picked a Rottweiler to keep his ex-wife away,” the source said.
Ent Daily has contacted reps for Paul for comment on this story.
This comes after reports claimed that Alex and Summer had a public confrontation in a Marks and Spencer in Kent.

The reports said that Alex accused Summer of hurting her and Paul’s son with the affair, after which Summer and her friends pounded on the windows of Alex’s car as she left the shop’s parking lot.
Alex later denied the incident had occurred, posting a statement to her Twitter account.
“Anyone who knows me will realise this report of an incident in Canterbury is not how I behave and those are not my words,” she said.
“Uncorroborated untruths and ‘anonymous’ letters only serve to fuel the unpleasant stories generated about the very distressing breakdown of my marriage.
“I will continue to stand tall, continue to be me, keep my integrity and remember ‘this too shall pass.'”
