Christine McGuinness has bravely shared her fears about dating again after her highly publicised divorce from TV presenter Paddy McGuinness. The model and autism campaigner admitted she feels "scared" at the thought of putting herself back out there romantically.
Emotional Struggles Post-Divorce
The 35-year-old star, who finalised her divorce in 2023 after 11 years of marriage, confessed she's still processing the emotional fallout. "I'm not ready to date," Christine revealed. "The idea terrifies me - I don't even know where you meet people at my age."
Focusing on Family First
Since the split, Christine has prioritised co-parenting their three children, all of whom have autism. "My children come first," she stated firmly. "They've been through enough change already without me introducing someone new into their lives."
Building Confidence Again
The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star admitted her self-esteem took a hit after the marriage ended. "When you've been with someone so long, you forget how to be single," she explained. "I'm using this time to rediscover who I am outside of being a wife and mother."
Christine's honesty about her dating anxieties has resonated with many fans going through similar experiences. Her journey of self-discovery continues to inspire those navigating life after long-term relationships.
