In an interview with Larry King in November 2015, Paul opened up about his notoriously private marriage.

“You know what happened, Larry? What happened is September the 11th,” he told the American television host.

“Like so many people’s lives, mine was changed in that moment. And I ran back to this house and spent two days trying to call this woman that I barely knew. And I remember very clearly thinking to myself, What are you doing? Ohh. I realized I was in love, so I finally got her on the phone, said, ‘I’m coming over, and let’s get married.’”
