Christine McGuinness reveals ex husband Paddy is dating as she reveals strict house rule at £6m mansion they share
CHRISTINE McGuinness today revealed how her ex husband Paddy is dating again, but said she has a strict house rule at the £6m mansion they share.
The former couple – who share three kids – shocked fans when they split three years ago.
Today, in a very candid interview, Christine 34, opened up about life after her divorce from Paddy McGuinness, 51.
She also revealed for the first time that the former Take Me Out host has started dating again.
Speaking on the latest episode of the appeared The Shizzio Show podcast she said: “I feel like it’s ok for me to date, I want to have a relationship again one day.”
Asked about Paddy, Christine replied: “He’s dated, he’s dating, and he’s always been open and honest.”
But she revealed they do have a rule, he’s not allowed to bring women back to their family home.
The former couple still live together in a bid to provide stability for their children who have autism.
BITTER BREAK-UP
In the same interview, Christine said it was something “unforgivable” that had caused them to go their separate ways in June 2022.
She said: “I’ve never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don’t know if I ever will.
“It was a difficult time. It wasn’t something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do.”
“We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?” she added.
“I’ll always, always love him as the father of the children, and I still live at home with him, which says a lot.
“We separated three years ago, and we are completely divorced, and we live in separate parts of the house, but we share a family home.”
COSTLY DIVORCE
Christine also admitted she’s still paying off her £300,00 divorce bill.
“There was times where it was fine and really civil, and we were agreeing on what we wanted and what we were going, then there was times where it felt like we were starting all the way back at the beginning,” she said.
“It’s the biggest bill I have ever paid in my life, and I will say that I paid for my own divorce, nobody else,” she added.
“I think people assume that if you’re going through a divorce with someone who earns a hell of a lot of money, your legal fees will be covered, or they will cover the costs or something, but it doesn’t work like that.”
“I think both of us now, if we could sit down and do it again, yeah, we’d do it completely differently, because we both spent a hell of a lot of money on divorce lawyers,” Christine acknowledged.
“Me personally, £300,000 pounds out of my own money that I didn’t even have,” she added.
“ I got someone to represent me that was equal to who was representing him.”
