Sharing a few intimate photos from her phone, Christine McGuinness hinted at the possibility of a new relationship. Known for her marriage to Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness, she surprised fans when they revealed their separation after 11 years together.
The former couple, who share three children—10-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, and 7-year-old Felicity—jointly posted the news of their split on social media.
Although no longer together, the pair decided to continue living together to minimize disruption for their children, all of whom are diagnosed with autism. Christine recently disclosed that she has started dating again but kept details about her new partner under wraps.
Hints of a romance surfaced as Christine shared photos from a trip to Spain with musician and DJ Roxxxan. At 36, Christine took to Instagram, posting a series of images under the caption, “Life lately.
Camera roll from the last couple of weeks. So much more to catch up. I’ll update more soon.” One of the pictures showed her and Roxxxan in the back seat of a prop car at Junkyard Golf Club, with Roxxxan’s arm around her waist, while Christine placed her hands on Roxxxan’s knees. Both smiled warmly as they locked eyes, wearing matching visors.
Another photo captured them sitting close together in a karaoke room, where Roxxxan held a microphone near Christine’s mouth.
Christine had her leg draped over Roxxxan’s as they shared a smile, and another image hinted at their closeness with matching sneakers, though Roxxxan wasn’t tagged in that particular picture.
Fans quickly filled the comments with praise, many calling Christine “beautiful” and “stunning.” One commenter noted, “Your photos just radiate happiness,” while another added, “Seeing you this happy is incredible, gorgeous girl.”
Others chimed in with similar sentiments: “You look so joyful!” one said, with another agreeing, “Love the happiness in your posts.”
Christine had previously commented, “Oh My G,” on one of Roxxxan’s bikini photos, fueling further speculation. She also shared a clip from an interview, revealing she’s been dating since June.
During an appearance on Loose Women, Christine reflected on her time on MasterChef, joking about her lack of cooking skills. When the discussion turned to her personal life, co-host Coleen Nolan asked if she was ready to start dating again.
Christine, smiling brightly, confirmed, “I am dating,” much to the delight of the audience and panel. She humorously added, “But with one condition—I’m not cooking. That’s the deal; cooking is not for me.”
