It’s official: Christine McGuinness is moving on — but not without learning some hard lessons along the way. After her explosive divorce from TV star Paddy McGuinness, the 38-year-old model is opening up about her new dating life and the ‘toxic’ patterns she’s working to leave behind.
Christine’s journey to love after her separation from Paddy, who she was married to for 11 years and shares three children with, has been anything but simple. But now, as she’s exploring new romantic possibilities, Christine is setting stronger boundaries for herself.
“I realized I was sharing so much with him, and I had to stop myself because I’ve been down that road before. That’s the last kind of bond I want to build—it’s almost toxic,” she said.
Her honesty is striking, especially when it comes to the mistakes she’s leaving behind. Christine’s public journey hasn’t been without its bumps, including a stint on Celebs Go Dating, which she exited early after feeling overwhelmed by the experience. Now, she’s focusing on healthier, more mindful dating while learning from the past.
Christine’s revelations don’t end there — she also shared the sweet moment she had telling her kids about the divorce. “I was blown away by their maturity,” she shared, showing just how much her family has supported her throughout this challenging chapter.
As for what’s next in her love life, Christine isn’t rushing. She’s taking things one step at a time, and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for her future. With a fresh mindset, she’s determined to leave the toxicity behind and embrace a new, healthier relationship dynamic.
