Despite calling time on their marriage just over a year ago, Christine and Paddy McGuinness remain very much a family unit with their three children, 10-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, six.
They said in a statement at the time of their split, ‘Our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children. This was not an easy decision to make but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children. We’ll always be a loving family.’
And they’ve certainly stood by that statement. While most separated couples can’t wait to get away from each other, Christine and Paddy have put any hard feelings aside for the sake of their brood and have both decided to remain in the marital home.
Proving it’s absolutely possible to co-parent successfully without staying in a romantic relationship, they still holiday as a family and spend special occasions together. And while we’re sure there have been a few bumps in the road, we’re in awe of how they’ve managed to make it work so smoothly.
