In April 2015, Bonnie, who also played Carmel Kazemi in EastEnders, cited "unreasonable behaviour" in documents submitted at a court in London's Holborn.

Bonnie has not discussed the split publicly as she wants to talk about EastEnders now and not her personal life.The priority for her and Paul is their daughter."
