Christine McGuinness is clearly in no rush to find love again after declaring she “isn’t missing anything” after splitting from her husband Paddy McGuinness.
The pair, who share three sons, announced their separation in September 2022 after 11 years of marriage. The final months of their relationship had been dogged by split rumours, prompting Christine and Paddy to eventually release a joint statement to confirm the news.
With divorce proceedings still ongoing, 35-year old Christine’s priority is – and always has been – her children, all three of whom have been diagnosed with autism. With no new partner on the horizon, the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star says she is “full of love” for her twins, Leo and Penelope, and eldest daughter, Felicity.

Christine told Radio Times: “I feel like my life’s full of love with my children. I’m very lucky, my heart is full. I don’t think I’m missing anything.”

She continued: “I’m forever going to share [my life] with my children and Patrick’s always going to be around as their father, but I want to have time on my own.’
“Those nights where I’m at work, and I don’t have to ring anyone and say, ‘This is where I am.’ I want to be able to have that freedom.” Christine, who was also diagnosed with autism whilst she and Paddy filmed a documentary about their brood, previously admitted she is “terrified” of dating again.

Appearing on BBC Two’s Pilgrimage: The Road Through North Wales, Christine opened up to viewers. She confessed: “The only life I’ve known is with Patrick and I’m not sure what my path is now I’m on my own. I need to figure it out.
“Patrick and I have been separated for almost two years now. But I don’t think I’ve dealt with the separation completely yet and I know that one day I’m going to have to do that.”

She continued: “Everyone has hard times, everyone has challenges, but if only you could gather all your trauma or your worries and just chuck it away. The biggest change is to come, I’m just scared of doing it.”
She reiterated her stance in an interview with the Sun’s TV magazine, earlier this week, meanwhile, adding: ‘I don’t see myself getting married again. I just don’t. I’ve never had time to myself. I was with Patrick since I was 19 and now I’m single for the first time in a long time. I don’t need to tell anyone where I’m going or what I’m doing. That is so freeing and something that I’m not sure I want to give away again.”
