Christine McGuinness has confirmed whether or not she and athlete Nicola Adams are dating, as she says she will no longer “consider” dating men.
The model and TV presenter, who was previously married to Paddy McGuinness for 11 years before splitting up in 2022, revealed last year that she has always found women attractive.
In a new interview with The Sun, the 38-year-old mother-of-two was asked whether there was any truth to swirling rumours around her and former professional boxer Adams being romantically involved.
However, she told the publication: “No. I literally just met her at an event.”
While she may not be dating Adams, 43, Christine said she is enjoying dating women since she and Paddy divorced – even though the former couple still live in the same house.
She told the newspaper: “I wouldn’t consider a relationship with a man… I only want to date women now. There’s a flame, a fire I feel when I’m around certain women and I love it.”
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star described her experience of dating women as “a lot more intense” and she loves the “passion and intimacy” that comes with it.
She also revealed that she would “love to refer to someone as my wife one day”.
It comes as Christine revealed last month that she is writing a novel based on her love life with women, which she jokingly titles “50 Shades of Gay”.
She is already an established author, having penned her autobiography, A Beautiful Nightmare, in 2021 and a children’s picture book, Amazing Me, Amazing You, in 2023.
But her new book will be much more risqué as she said: “My thoughts after sex were wild, I thought, I need to get this out of my brain, so I started writing it down.”
