Christine McGuinness has no interest in dating men
Christine McGuinness has revealed that she won't "consider" dating another man as she prefers the "intense" feeling of being in a relationship with a woman.
Christine McGuinness won't date another man.
The 38-year-old model's 13-year marriage to TV presenter Paddy McGuinness ended in divorce in 2024 and she says that she now only wants a romance with a woman, as she feels a greater sense of "passion and intimacy" in a same-sex relationship.
Christine told The Sun newspaper: "I wouldn't consider a relationship with a man.
"I've barely been approached by a man. Subconsciously, I shook that off. I only want to date women now.
"There's a flame, a fire I feel when I'm around certain women, and I love it. The whole experience is more intense, that's what I like about it.
"I say to myself, 'I'm obsessed.' I have to check myself. 'Am I really feeling this? Am I just running away with the dopamine?''"
She continued: "I think the passion and intimacy is what I love the most about dating women. I find women attractive, the whole experience is different. I would love to refer to someone as my wife one day.
"What other people do in their twenties, I'm doing in my thirties.
"But the whole dating world is daunting. I enjoy dating, but anything more serious, I struggle to keep up with that."
Even though they divorced two years ago, Christine and Paddy continue to live under the same roof at the Cheshire mansion with their children – twins Penelope and Leo, 13, and Felicity, nine – and she revealed that the pair are contemplating making the arrangement permanent.
The star – who has appeared on series such as The Real Full Monty and The Games – explained: "I thought it would be a short-term plan, but it works better than we thought it could.
"Publicly, the house is up for sale. Privately, we've discussed more and more that we actually thinks really works. Patrick and I get on and we always have done.
"We still have a relationship as co-parents, we respect each other and make it work.
"Patrick has the top floor, the children and I are below.
"He comes in and out of my room, I go in and out of his room, we all share the living room.
"I know a lot of people struggle to get their heads round it, but it works for us."
