Paddy McGuinness Unaware of Christines New Romance

is said to have been unaware of estranged wife Christine's rumoured new romance with boxer .

TV's Paddy, 52, was married to the  star, 38, for 13 years, before splitting in 2024. Together they are parents to 13-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and eight-year-old Felicity. 

Rumours of their blossoming romance emerged last month after they attended The DIVA Awards 2026 in London - a celebration of the achievements of LGBTQIA women and non-binary people. 

Christine then opened up about being a 'five-star lesbian', her love of 'Japanese bondage' and that she was looking for a wife in a bombshell interview. 

But while Paddy, who continues living with his ex to co-parent their children, was unaware of the romance and still hasn't met Nicola, he is fully supportive.   

A source said 'Paddy just wants Christine to be happy. He is very relaxed about who she dates. He will like that Nicola is family orientated because that's what is most important to him too.

But they said it's Christine's friends who are concerned about her new surprisingly frank lifestyle and fear their pal's newfound 'bubble could burst' 

Last week after the LGBTQ+ podcast interview where she opened up about her sexuality, Christine admitted she had 'overshared'.

The source told The Sun: 'It's thought that having romances in the public eye and sharing so many intimate details about yourself can come with a price. Friends are concerned that her bubble could burst if something doesn't change soon.' 

They went on to claim that Nicola was 'completely smitten' with Christine, the pair are a 'perfect match'.  

'She's telling people she's properly fallen hard and there's no denying it. And Christine is loving it. She really thrives off Nicola's positive energy – she also likes that she's really laid-back, confident and very sure of herself.

Daily Mail has contacted Paddy McGuinness, Christine McGuinness and Nicola Adams' representatives for comment. 

At the DIVA Awards an onlooker said the pair's connection was undeniable, telling the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential: 'They were inseparable and looked like they were a couple.'

And Nicola heavily alluded to her rumoured romance with Christine on Monday, as she .

The clip saw the former professional boxer dancing with her eyes closed edited alongside a clip of Evan Peters doing the same dance in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

Over the top she wrote: 'Them: "You're not that crazy about that woman"', while quipping: 'Who me? #wlw' in the caption.

It appears to be early days for the couple, who are now following each other on Instagram. While a representative for Nicola said this week: 'We don't feel the need to make a comment at this time.'

It comes after Christine got very candid about her dating life as she revealed she has exclusively .

She met the Take Me Out star through a mutual friend in 2007 when she was just 19 years old, with the pair getting engaged two years later and tying the knot in June 2011.

Christine explained that before Paddy she did date women and her longest relationship lasted around two years.

While the star prefers not to label her sexuality, she previously told Elizabeth Day on her podcast How To Fail: 'I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it.

'When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. Fourteen or 15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal. Then I think where I grew up, everyone was kind of just there for a good time.'

And in her most candid chat yet, Christine appeared on the It Started With A Kiss podcast last week, where she revealed that since her divorce, she has exclusively dated women.

'I didn't intentionally go, "Okay, that's it. Now I'm off to women",' she said. 'But that's kind of what I've done.

'We split. We divorced and then I've just enjoyed the women and I absolutely fully love it and can't get enough. I love that. I've enjoyed the women.

'I love it for me and I'm happy that it's kind of like not like a second chance or anything. It's a completely different move forward with life and that's where I'm ready. That's where I'm at.'

In the candid, sex-positive chat, Christine branded herself a 'five-star lesbian' and shared that she is attracted to a masculine woman and during intimacy she prefers to be the dominant one.
