Christine McGuinness explains why she 'won't marry again' following split from ex-husband Paddy

Christine McGuinness has explained why she 'won't marry again' following the split from her ex-husband.

The model and Paddy McGuinness called time on their relationship back in 2022 after 11 years of marriage. But despite the pair no longer being together, they continue to live in the same home as they co-parent their three kids.

While the Top Gear host recently revealed he will be discussing their divorce during his upcoming stand-up shows, Christine has shared that she’s ready to find love again.

The 36-year-old said that being in a relationship is an ‘amazing, magical thing to have in your life’.

She told Closer magazine: “Anyone that I've ever dated or had a relationship with - even in my teenage years – I was friends with them first, and then it developed into a relationship, and that was the situation with my ex-husband. We knew each other for a while beforehand.”

Christine then explained that this is the first time she’s been ‘completely on her own’ and has ‘time for herself’ which she describes as ‘limited’.

“I don't know if I could offer enough to somebody to be in a relationship right now, and it's not that I don't want to,” she added.

But she is open to finding love because she knows she ‘deserves’ it.

However, the mum-of-three did say: “I think [getting married again] is something I would definitely rule out. I've done that, I had the big white wedding, and I was married for 15 years.

“It's not something I'm in any rush to do. I only want to get married once, and I've done that. If I get love again in my life, I'll be really happy with that - I don't need anything more.”

While another wedding seems to be off the cards, she does seem a little unsure on being in a relationship altogether. And to be fair, the woman does sound pretty busy.

“I think love is a blessing and you should count that blessing, but I don't feel I could give enough to somebody for that to be a relationship, because I'm at home with my three children most of the time, and if I'm not at home – I'm at work, or a charity event,” she added.

Christine previously admitted the divorce from Paddy was ‘difficult’ as she said last year hadn’t ‘been easy’ and planned to enter 2024 with a ‘bang’ and focusing on the ‘positives’.
