Paddy McGuinness not dating
Comedian Paddy McGuinness - who divorced from model Christine McGuinness in October 2024 - says he is not dating at the moment because he wants to concentrate on their children and his work.
Paddy McGuinness is not dating right now.
The 52-year-old comedian - who has 12-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, nine, with Christine - and the model split in 2022, and their divorce was finalised in October 2024.
And Paddy does not want to get back on the dating scene at the moment because he wants to concentrate on their children and his work.
Asked if he is "back in the dating world", Paddy - who married Christine, 37, in 2011 - told the new issue of Woman's Own magazine: "No, I'm sort of concentrating fully on work and providing for my kids, like most parents."
Speaking about how much joy Leo, Penelope and Felicity bring him, the former host of ITV's Take Me Out added: "I think every parent gets that from their children, and it's amazing."
Despite being divorced, Paddy and Christine still live together so that they can co-parent their children.
Asked how co-parenting is going, he said: "Good - great - all nice and bonny.
"It's absolutely fine."
Paddy ruled out having more children because he had a vasectomy - a permanent method of contraception that stops sperm from being ejaculated from the penis during sex - in 2019.
He said: "Hang on a minute, I'm b***** 52, and I've got three kids!
"I can't now because I had a vasectomy a few years ago.
"But being a dad is definitely the best thing ever."
Christine - who has since dated women and had lesbian experiences when she was younger - previously said that she and Paddy live in separate wings in their house but come together for the children.
The model - who appeared on the 2025 series of E4's Celebs Go Dating, but left the process of potentially finding the love of her life because she felt "overwhelmed" with the attention on her love life, and that she missed her family - said in a June episode of the How To Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast: "We have different wings. I always joke about [that] he is in the West Wing!
"We completely have our own spaces on the top floor of the house. I'm on the floor with the children, and yeah, it works and works for us as a family because we don't have to move the children.
"They've got that continuity, and it's consistent. When they come home from school, they know where they're going to.
"They've got their own rooms, their clothes, the computers, everything they need is in that house, and it doesn't matter too much whether it's mummy at home or daddy at home.
"With our schedules being all over the place, it doesn't affect them."
