EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: 'A big relief': One-time It-Girl Lady Isabella Hervey on court ban for Belgian millionaire husband that stops him from coming within 300 metres of his estranged wife


When she married at 32, one-time It-Girl Lady Isabella Hervey dared to believe that her 'fairytale dream of a happy family life' was finally coming true.

The story is disclosed in graphic and unsparing detail in a 38-page judgement just delivered in a court in Portugal, where Isabella, 42, lives in the Algarve with her three children by de Pauw: Victor, who was named after her late father, the thrice-married 6th Marquess of Bristol; a younger son, Patrick; and a daughter, India. 'Christophe is indicted for domestic violence and child abuse,' Isabella's Portuguese lawyer Patricia Cipriano discloses to me, adding that the judge has issued a restraining order against de Pauw forbidding him from coming within 300 metres of his estranged wife or seeing their children without third party supervision. By the time she met de Pauw through mutual friends in London in 2011, her glamour and athleticism had earned her an appearance on Celebrity Love Island and the accolade of being voted one of the world's sexiest women by lad mag FHM.
