Christine McGuinness has revealed she remains closer than ever to her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, despite their marriage ending four years ago, opening up about their unique dynamic and her evolving personal life.
The 38-year-old supermodel, who finalised her divorce in 2024, said the pair still live together in Cheshire, UK, with their three children while waiting for their home to sell, and described Paddy as fully supportive of her dating both men and women.
Speaking on the It Started With A Kiss podcast, Christine said she now sees a future with a woman and would “love to have a wife one day,” though not necessarily through a formal marriage.
“Not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love,” she said. She added that after her previous marriage, she is not eager to repeat the experience in the same way.
Christine explained that her current lifestyle allows her to separate family life from her personal relationships, enjoying independence while maintaining stability for her children. “I love a double life… My family, my kids, my home is up there, then I come to London… I can work, have fun… and I don’t need to worry about everything.”
She also revealed that her openness with Paddy extends to discussing her dating life, admitting there have been moments where they have shared opinions about people she is seeing.
“There’s times where we have, yeah,” she said when asked if she shows him pictures of potential partners. Christine said she is still exploring relationships and not rushing into anything serious. “I’m just seeing how things go, just figuring it out… I’m trying to not plan too far ahead… enjoy the moment.”
She noted that she has dated both people in and outside the public eye, but prefers those outside the industry as they tend to move at a slower pace and better understand her boundaries.
Her openness about dating women came after her appearance on Celebs Go Dating in 2025, following her separation from Paddy in 2022. The former couple previously said their priority remains co-parenting their children and maintaining a positive relationship.
Christine has also spoken about how her autism diagnosis influenced her decision to leave the marriage and rediscover her identity. Reflecting on her journey, she said she is now embracing a new chapter, focused on personal growth and happiness while keeping her family life grounded.
