Christine McGuinness is embracing "solo dating" and has described herself as a "five-star lesbian" as she continues to explore her identity. The TV personality shared a video of her spa day on Instagram, detailing her current practice of "dating myself to see why it's so difficult." She also shared that she is writing an erotic novel, which she likens to "50 Shades of Gay."
McGuinness revealed that since coming out as bisexual, she feels "safer, more comfortable, more attractive, sexier—everything I prefer with women." She stated that she feels "more myself" and has received messages from other mothers who are navigating similar shifts after separating from their husbands.
While her upcoming book is fictional, McGuinness indicated it draws inspiration from her personal experiences. She described writing notes after sexual encounters to capture her thoughts and feelings. McGuinness and her ex-husband, Paddy McGuinness, continue to live in the same home with their three children, who all have autism. She explained that they maintain a harmonious co-parenting relationship and do not let outside relationships affect their shared home environment.
In a candid conversation on the podcast It Started With A Kiss, McGuinness described herself as a "five-star lesbian" and expressed her attraction to masculine women, noting her preference for being the dominant partner in intimate situations. She also shared her desire to one day have a "wife" in a celebratory sense. McGuinness is currently taking a relaxed approach to relationships, stating she is "just seeing how things go and just figuring out" without extensive future planning.
She also discussed her exploration of Shibari, an art form involving rope, which she views as a way to explore vulnerability and connection. This practice has helped her realize her desire to be both dominant and submissive in relationships. McGuinness confirmed she is not involved in adult content but offers sensual content, including lingerie and experiences, through a subscription-based service.
