'The kids still don't know Paddy and I have split', admits Christine McGuinness

Christine McGuinness has revealed she and estranged husband Paddy still haven't told their children they've split up. It's been eight months since 34 year old model Christine and TV presenter Paddy, 49, announced that they were ending their marriage after 15 years together, with the couple both posting a joint statement to Instagram.

But Christine has now revealed that the two parents still have yet to tell their three children – twins Leo and Penelope, nine, and younger daughter Felicity, six – about their breakup as they're determined for things to stay as normal as possible for the children.

Speaking to Woman's Own, Christine said: "The children don't know any different and they're growing up in a happy and loving home – I just want it to continue like that." She explained how the two of them are still living together with their children in their family home.

Christine also confessed she thinks she'll struggle if Paddy ever does move out of the family home. She said: "We don't know what the future holds but right now it works. "The thought of eventually co-parenting in separate houses is something I'm going to really struggle with." The confession comes after the star admitted she stayed in her marriage with Paddy because it felt 'safe' at the time and she 'doesn't like change'.
