Paddy McGuinness 'looking for love' as wife Christine 'moves on' after split
Paddy McGuinness is reportedly “looking for love” following his shock split from ex-wife Christine last year.
The Take Me Out host, 50, still lives with Christine at the family home in Cheshire as they continue to co-parent their three children – twins Penelope and Leo, 10, and six-year-old Felicity.
But after Christine was spotted getting close to singer-songwriter pal Chelcee Grimes over recent months with the pair seen kissing in Ibiza, Paddy is reportedly “happy” to see his ex move on and it has apparently helped him “in the process of moving on too”.
Christine is said to be in an “elevated mood” these days and sees Chelcee as her “rock”. They have reportedly become so close that Christine “doesn’t know how she could have got through her marriage breakdown without her”.
