Christine McGuinness is ‘trying to carve out’ her own career, following her split from TV presenter husband Paddy McGuinness.

The 35-year-old model – who split from Paddy, 50, in 2022 after 11 years of marriage – explained her main focus is on supporting their three children, seven-year-old Felicity and twins Leo and Penelope, 10, who have all been diagnosed with autism.

She told The Mirror: ‘My main focus for 2024 is going to be on my children, they are always my main focus.

‘Then work, work for myself and trying to carve out a career so that I can always look after my children and give them a future what they want and support them and their needs for as long as possible. That’s really where I’m at right now.

‘I want to try and be more present, which I’m very good at with my children. When I’m with the children, that’s where I’m my most authentic self, and I’m just me. It’s just me at home with the children.’

Christine, who has launched a new wellness brand called Lifestyle, said she gets distracted easily outside of her home life and one of her goals is to be ‘more present’. 

The model also told how she looks after her children’s wellbeing by doing yoga and mindfulness.

It comes after Christine was reportedly left ‘devastated’ after finding out her ex husband Paddy is making a ‘mockumentary about their divorce.’ 

According to The Sun, a friend close to Christine has revealed that she found out about Paddy’s plan after reading about it online. 

They told the publication: ‘Christine is distraught that their divorce is going to be the butt of the jokes.’

The source continued: ‘She’s completely broken over the divorce and we are genuinely worried about her.

‘Paddy didn’t tell her about the pilot. The fact she had to find out online, like everyone else, that he was doing this has broken her even more.’

MailOnline contacted Christine’s representative for comment when the news broke. 

Christine said: ‘[I’m]trying to carve out a career so that I can always look after my children and give them a future’

She added: ‘I want to try and be more present, which I’m very good at with my children. When I’m with the children, that’s where I’m my most authentic self, and I’m just me. It’s just me at home with the children’

News of the mockumentary came after Christine revealed to MailOnline that she has more meltdowns now than ever before and is ready to show her authentic self after hiding behind a smile. 

She opened up about how much she has been struggling recently and admitted that it is ‘exhausting pretending to be fine’. 

Christine revealed that she still has d`ays when she needs to cancel plans because she is so burnt out.

Christine, who has autism and ADHD, lives a busy life as she balances the workload of motherhood, presenting gigs, making TV appearances, and launching her own line of lifestyle products.

When asked how she manages her seemingly endless list of responsibilities, Christine told MailOnline: ‘I don’t, and that is to be completely honest. I don’t manage it as well as what I present like I manage it. I still have meltdowns. I probably have more meltdowns than ever.’

She continued: ‘I still have days where, you know, I’ll cancel plans because I burn out. My main resolution this year is to try and plan better try and make sure that I schedule things to make sure that I get time off in between.’
