Paddy McGuinness and Christine show off adorable Valentine's card after cosy pic
Paddy McGuinness and his estranged wife Christine celebrated Valentine's Day together after their three children made them an adorable card for the special day.
It comes just days after the former couple were praised by fans for sharing a cute family moment in their shared home - despite the fact the pair are currently going through a divorce.
Model Christine, 35, and comedian Paddy, 50, split almost two years ago but continue to live in the same house as they parent their three children who all live with Autism. Christine recently admitted their situation is unusual and before their Christmas celebrations at the end of last year, she revealed the former couple 'have to move on'.
However, former Take Me Out presenter Paddy and Christine - who announced their split in 2022 after 11 years of marriage - appear to still be close as they continue to co-parent their three kids, 10-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, seven.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, both Christine and Paddy posted photos of their children's joint Valentine's Day card they made for their mum and dad. Christine and Paddy both posted separate pictures and told their fans how 'lucky and special' they felt after their kids' sweet gestures.
Kate rules out receiving romantic gift from Prince William on Valentine's DayAlongside a snap of the handmade card featuring a huge red heart, Christine wrote: "My little loves. Nothing compares to being a mummy, unconditional love forever. It really is the littlest things, the hand made cards and notes, I’m very lucky I get lots of these from my children, They make my heart smile."
Meanwhile, Paddy gushed: "Woke up early by the kids, sorted their breakfasts, emptied the Cats litter tray, moved a load of patio furniture in the p*** rain, waited in all day for a tradesman who never turned up and a bus driver took my wing mirror off but non of that mattered a jot once my baby girl, Felicity, gave us this! One very happy Daddy here."
In another post, Paddy wrote: "I’ve got something in my eye. My gorgeous boy Leo just gave me this! I’m so proud of all my children. They surprise and inspire me every single day."
It comes as former Take Me Out presenter Paddy and Christine - who announced their split in 2022 after 11 years of marriage - seem to be closer than ever if Paddy's latest Instagram offering is anything to go by. The TV star recently shared a cute moment between the pair as he posted a photo of their feet touching while sitting back and watching TV.
Alongside the photo, Paddy quipped: "Strong high arch game in our house but there can be only one! Who takes the crown and the Pes Cavus bragging rights? Mum or Dad? School boy error leaving my socks on."
In the comments, fans flocked to praise Paddy and Christine for their healthy relationship despite their split as they continue to live together for the sake of their three young children. One Instagram user commented: "You both have such a lovely relationship regardless of whether it is just as parents or as husband and wife which is no one else's business. But credit to both of you for ensuring the children are not caught between either parent but is both of your priorities. you are a lovely family."
"You two are such an amazing example for your children. Whatever you do, kids come first and you two are freaking winning," another echoed. While someone else wrote: "Lovely to see the two of you still sharing moments like this. You are both amazing and such good parents to your beautiful children."
