Christine McGuinness: Dated Women Only for 4 Years Post-Divorce

Christine McGuinness opened up about her post-divorce dating life on the podcast "It Started With a Kiss," revealing that she has dated women exclusively for the past four years and would one day like to call a woman her wife in a non-legal celebration of love.

The 38-year-old model and television personality, who finalized her divorce from comedian Paddy McGuinness in 2024 after an 11-year marriage and separation in 2022, spoke candidly with hosts Amy Spalding and Gareth Valentino. She shares three autistic children—twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity—with her ex-husband and continues to live with him in their Cheshire family home to provide stability for the children.

McGuinness described her current approach to romance as maintaining a "separate life," with family routines in Cheshire and work and dating centered in London. "My family, my kids, my home is up there and then I come to London, step off that train, and I can work, have fun," she said. She called this "double life" ideal but acknowledged it creates challenges. Partners often reach a point where they ask, "When am I going to meet the kids?" despite her upfront disclosures about her situation.
