In a candid interview on the LGBTQ+ podcast It Started With A Kiss, Christine declared herself a “five-star lesbian” and revealed her aspirations to one day marry a woman in a celebration of love. While she doesn’t want a legal marriage, she expressed how she dreams of having a partner with whom she can openly declare, “this is my wife.”

Christine also shared insights into her evolving sexuality and journey post-divorce, admitting she’s fully embracing her love life and dating women. “I’m really happy now that I’m dating women again and I’m having fun,” she said.

Paddy’s New Relationship?

Meanwhile, sources close to Paddy reveal significant changes in his life as well. It seems that the 52-year-old TV star is dating a new woman – a “young blonde” who looks remarkably like Christine. Despite Paddy’s representative denying the relationship, sources close to the couple confirm that he has been seeing someone for a few weeks.

While Christine isn’t thrilled about her ex moving on, especially with someone who resembles her, she’s clear that she’s happy for Paddy to live his life as he pleases. “It’s not a secret,” one friend shared.

A source says: ‘It makes sense to call it a day on living in the house. They were hoping to sell it more quickly and that didn’t happen yet. With Paddy, it’s his way or the highway and there have been conflicts'

The Post-Divorce Transition

Christine’s journey into dating women is a significant part of her healing process after her divorce. She talked about the challenges of moving forward after 15 years of marriage, explaining that her autism diagnosis at 33 gave her the courage to end the marriage and embark on this self-discovery path.

Meanwhile, Paddy, who has focused on getting fit and showcasing his new body in Men’s Health, has also acknowledged the changes in his personal life. He’s been exploring the idea of dating again, but his new romance has raised questions about the dynamics of his relationship with Christine, as they continue to co-parent their children.
