Christine McGuinness has revealed she’s been ‘dating a mystery partner since June’ as she candidly discussed her new relationship.

The model, 36, split from her husband Paddy, 50, in 2022, and admitted she will ‘never marry again’ after going through a divorce, even though it was amicable.

Last month, it was reported the pair – who have maintained a strong relationship and still live together with their children, twins Leo and Penelope, 10, and seven-year-old Felicity – avoided a lengthy court battle.

Opening up about moving on from her ex-husband Christine revealed the moment she met her special new person and said she’s the ‘calmest she’s ever been.’

She began: ‘I met them on my birthday through mutual friends and we’ve been dating since June. It’s someone I know. I wasn’t thinking anything at the time but we kept in touch and it’s so nice and laidback.’

The TV personality added: ‘There are no labels and that’s what’s been amazing. Paddy hasn’t met them. It’s still new and early days.

‘After having a relationship in the public eye for so long I’m not sure I want the relationship to be public. I’ve only ever known what it was like to have a relationship that’s in the public. This is nice.

‘I’ve been really open and honest from the beginning about where I’m at and they’re ok with that.

‘I feel like I’m in good company. I don’t get a lot of time to myself but when I do it’s lovely and we laugh loads.’

Earlier this week, the model posted a series of pictures, including two of her looking cosy with fellow model and musician pal, DJ Roxxxan, 33, which came after they enjoyed a holiday together in Spain.

Speaking about being single again, Christine said: ‘I’ve managed to avoid dating for a lifetime. I’ve not done any of the Apps. I didn’t date even when I was a teenager. Every romantic relationship has always been someone I’ve known.

‘I had to get really happy and OK with me first. I love that I’ve learnt to love myself first because no matter what it’s going to be an experience.

‘Whether it goes good or bad, I always know that I’m fine on my own.’

Opening up about moving on from her ex-husband Christine revealed the moment she met her special new person and said she’s the ‘calmest she’s ever been’

She continued: ‘Naturally, through feeling that I’ve got to a place where I feel this way, I’ve felt comfortable to say I am now dating.

‘I was celibate for a long time and I think that solitude, for me, gave me that power back to know that I’m fine on my own. I needed that before I could move on.’

Christine split from her ex husband Paddy two years ago and revealed earlier this month she was dating again.

Explaining their living arrangement, she said: ‘He’s not home a lot because he’s so busy with work but we just get on so well and we know we need to be a team for the children.

‘I’m the calmest I’ve ever been. I didn’t realise how unsettled my nervous system was before. I’d always have a kind of shakiness, anxiety, inside me. A lot of that was down to the fear of change.

‘It’s only this year that I’ve felt ok about the changes following divorce. I kind of feel I live on my own anyway because Patrick works so much do when that does happen I know I will be ok.

‘He’s an amazing dad, so hands on at home and so good at what he does. He’s an amazing provider but it does take a lot. I’m the constant at home for the children.

‘We’ve never had an argument. We’ll have difficult, challenging conversations but we don’t argue but that’s just not in me. We’re got a pretty good balance and when he is at home then I know I can go away for a couple of days and it’s guilt-free because it’s daddy’s time with the children.

‘I do get a lot of couples in my DM’s who are going through separations and they always ask for help and advice. I always say, no matter what’s happened between you you have to put your children first. As a parent, they are your priority.’

Speaking at the Paul Strank Charity Gala at The Royal Garden Hotel, Christine revealed that she is unlikely to marry again.

She admitted: ‘I really don’t think so. For me I’ve done it. I’ve had the big wedding and I think anyone who gets married, you don’t ever imagine it ending, but if it does happen you get through it but marriage is the last thing you want to do when you get through it.

‘Even though we’ve had an amicable divorce, there have been times when it’s been really draining and challenging. It’s a lot to deal with when you’ve got to get up every day and smile for your children.’

This week Christine enjoyed a night out with musician Roxxxan, after they jetted off on holiday to Spain together.

The model, who first fuelled romance rumours with ‘tomboy’ musician Roxxxan after sharing a cosy footsie snap, looked happier than ever.
