Paddy and Christine’s family arrangement

Paddy and Christine McGuinness split in 2022 following 11 years of marriage. They have continued living in their family home while co-parenting their three children, twins Penelope and Leo and younger daughter Felicity.

Christine recently told the Daily Mail that their divorce had been a difficult and challenging experience. However, she described the former couple’s co-parenting arrangement as a blessing and said their children remained their priority.

She explained that they did not want to move the children between separate homes, particularly because they thrive on routine. Christine also said she and Paddy have lives outside the family home and would not bring dates back there.

In recent months, Christine was linked with Olympic boxer Nicola Adams. However, soon after, she was spotted sharing a kiss with DJ Roxxxan.

Speaking about her relationship status, Christine said: “I’m single. It’s exciting. I’m enjoying life. The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. I’m struggling to keep up with my own life. Someone might have caught my eye. I just want to see how it goes.”
