Paddy McGuinness and wife Christine have reportedly finally settled their divorce, after separating in 2022.
The Top Gear star, 50, and former Miss Liverpool, 36, have continued to co-parent and live together since their split, but are now reportedly looking to live separately now that the divorce is official.
The couple share children Leo and Penelope, 10, and Felicity, seven, who have autism.
The pair continued to live together to best preserve a sense of normality for their children, who were unaware that their parents were no longer together after splitting two years ago.
The pair are reportedly preparing to move into separate homes as their divorce nears finalization. A source told The Sun, “They settled the divorce out of court and kept things amicable.”
They continued: ‘They have separate bedrooms and a house in Cheshire big enough for them all, so there is no need to move yet. But they probably will sell it down the line and get their own places.’
Christine recently sparked rumours with what looks like it could be a romantic trip to Ibiza with an unknown person who many believe to be rapper Roxxxan, 33.
The model shared a snap of herself appearing to play footsie with someone under a table while on the holiday, as well as another video of someone filming her in the car as she smiles coyly.
Roxxxan has been posting photos from the same resort, and even appears to be in the same private pool as Christine in the snaps.
But the hints of the couple’s possible romance did not come without consequences, and Christine’s ex, singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes, seemingly took a swipe at the Real Housewives star.
In a post captioned ‘private but not a secret,’ Chelcee debuted her new relationship with an unknown woman and liked a comment under the picture that called Christine ‘a fake’.
The comment read: ‘Christine is fake as they come, Chelcee deserved so much better. Christine can keep trying to get attention and fake a new romance.’
Chelcee also replied to @Samanthawoods4044’s comment that read ‘Oh I adored you with Christine,’ adding, ‘Please say its her, she has one of them bracelets in her vid too.’
In a now deleted commented, Chelcee wrote back: ’No. I had enough of being a secret after nearly 2 years.’
It remains unclear what transpired between Chelcee and Christine, neither of whom ever confirmed that they were romantically involved, but it would appear things did not end on particularly good terms.
But things seemingly remain amicable between Paddy and Christine, who have only had positive things to say about each other since splitting up.
Paddy and Christine first met in 2007 before getting married in 2011.
Paddy shared previously that ‘there’s no toxicity in the house, nor arguments, as he revealed that they have still maintained ‘a really, really lovely family unit at home’.
He also said: ‘We have separate bedrooms because we respect that we aren’t together anymore but, whether we work it through or we don’t, what we do have is a really, really lovely family unit at home.’
Paddy, who started dating Christine in 2009 before getting married in 2011, confessed to ‘forgetting’ the pair are separated sometimes.
He also acknowledged that their arrangement ‘must be strange for people looking at it from the outside in.’
‘We still hug, and we’re still messaging and phoning each other every day, we’re just not jumping into bed together anymore,’ he said.
