They say time is a healer, and that’s certainly the case for Christine McGuinness – who is “living her best life” a year on from her split from husband Paddy, a source tells new.
The 35-year-old set tongues wagging last week when she was spotted holding hands and locking lips with pal Chelcee Grimes during a girls’ holiday in Ibiza.
As she navigates her divorce, Christine – who announced the end of her 11-year marriage in July 2022 – is said to have been leaning on songwriter and ex-footballer Chelcee, 31, over the past 12 months.
“Christine is living her best, carefree life,” our source said. “She’s just enjoying feeling liberated.
“She relies on close friend Chelcee. They’ve always had the same sense of humour and, if ever Christine is having doubts over her life choices, Chelcee is there.”
As well as Chelcee, our source said that Blue singer Duncan James has also been a huge support for Christine.
“Duncan and Christine have been close for years and, after doing Celebrity Hunted together, they’re even closer,” they explained.
“He knows about the struggles of having your love life speculated on in the spotlight and he’s helping her every step of the way.”
