While Christine has previously said ex Paddy is starting to see other women.
Speaking on Vicky Pattison’s podcast Christine said she and Paddy ‘talk an awful lot’, so she’s in the loop with his love life.
She shared: ‘We’re very open. He has said to me when he’s been going on a date.
‘We still live in the same house. But I think both of us right now, we’re very much in the same place, where we’re just, like, just don’t really know what to do or where to go.’
The mum-of-three continued: ‘We’ve been in this [relationship] for 16 years. I’ve been with him since I was 19, so my dating history before him was an absolute mess, then I’ve had this lovely long marriage.’
‘I kind of don’t really know where to go, where to start, and he’s the same, he’s very much the same,’ she confessed about moving on with someone new.
‘He’s tried it and he’s gone, “I’m not quite ready”.’
Christine reckons dating might be ‘easier’ once she and Paddy no longer live together.
