Christine McGuinness posted a video of herself in a bikini on a beach, accompanied by a remark about her "spiritual era," shortly after reports surfaced that her ex-husband, Paddy McGuinness, is dating Emma Carey, a publicist at BBC Radio 2.
Paddy McGuinness, 52, was photographed walking with Carey in London after they had dinner, according to reports. The pair reportedly dined at the Rosewood Hotel. McGuinness, who hosts a show on BBC Radio 2 where Carey works, was in London last week filling in as a host for ITV's "This Morning."
An onlooker told The Sun that McGuinness and Carey appeared comfortable together and laughed frequently. "Fans will be thrilled to see him so happy after the anguish of his marriage split with Christine," the onlooker reportedly said.
Christine McGuinness, 38, shared the video on Instagram, showing her paddling in the sea and joking that "people keep tripping her factory settings." She wore oval sunglasses and had her blonde hair in a ponytail.
Paddy and Christine McGuinness, who were married for 11 years, announced their split in 2022. They have continued to live in the same family home to co-parent their three children, all of whom have autism. McGuinness has described their co-parenting arrangement as a "blessing" and stated their priority is their children's routines.
"We're not in a rush to sell the house. We don't want to be putting the kids in mummy's house and then daddy's house - and our work's not in a routine and our children thrive on routine," Christine McGuinness explained. She added that she would consider moving but viewed the current house as the children's home.
Following her separation, Christine McGuinness has spoken about her openness to dating women but has stated she would not bring a date back to the family home. She emphasized that introductions to children would occur only after a long period of dating.
