Christine McGuinness, the former Queen of Beauty, appears to be open to exploring new romantic interests after her separation from Paddy McGuinness. The pair who tied the knot for 11 years announced their split in 2022 and remain committed to raising their children at their Cheshire residence.

Known for hosting the popular dating programme 'Take Me Out', Paddy McGuinness reflected on his single status post trying out a few dates. "If Christine met someone else, I'd be supportive," he shared during an interview with the Mirror.

A buddy close to Christine hinted that she might be prepared to delve back into the world of dating, navigating through her 'mum guilt'. "Christine finally feels like it's the right time to put herself out there and get back on the dating scene," a confidant disclosed to OK!

"It's been two years since she and Paddy separated, and she knows it's the right time for her", reports the Liverpool Echo.

The source attested to Christine's commitment towards fitness, working out regularly in the gym and feeling healthier than ever before. They also conveyed that Christine is eager to leave the past behind, especially after Paddy shared details about his own dating journeys.

"Eventually over time, Christine would love to settle down again - she's a genuine homebody who adores spending quality time with people dear to her," they added.

"She deserves happiness after being hurt. She's put on a brave face for so long but she's ready to move forward and feel loved again."

Christine and Paddy are currently sharing parenting responsibilities for their three children - twins Leo and Penelope, 10, and daughter Felicity, 8, all diagnosed with autism. The couple parted ways shortly after the release of their documentary 'Our Family and Autism'.

Christine was also reported to have been diagnosed with ASD.
