Documents show that Christine McGuinness, who is currently 38 years old, was previously married to Paddy McGuinness for 11 years before their separation in 2022. Meanwhile, Nicola Adams, aged 43, split from her partner Ella Baig in March 2025 after seven years together. Both women are currently single parents; Christine has three children with Paddy while Nicola shares one son with Ella.

This budding friendship comes against the backdrop of their recent separations and shared experiences as single parents. For instance, Christine has expressed a desire to have a wife one day, emphasizing that it would be more about celebrating love than legalities. In her own words, she stated, “I would love to have a wife one day. Not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love and all of that. I would love to just be saying, ‘This is my wife’.”

Both women attended the DIVA Awards where attendees noted they appeared inseparable and looked like they were a couple. This observation aligns with comments from friends who believe that Nicola and Christine could make a good match given their similar circumstances as they recover from past relationships.

Key facts:

• Christine McGuinness has three children: twins Leo and Penelope, aged 11, and Felicity, aged 8.
• Nicola Adams shares one child with Ella Baig: Taylor Nate, born via IVF in July 2022.
• Both women are exploring new dynamics in their lives as they adjust to single parenting.
