The couple are still living together despite going their separate ways in July last year.

Christine and Paddy have put aside their differences to spend quality time together bringing up their three autistic children – twins Leo and Penelope, 10, and seven-year-old Felicity.

She told Closer: “Of course me and Paddy will be spending Christmas together because we still live in the same house.

“I think we’ve got to move on, but for now it works for the children. We both go in and out and we’ve got a schedule we try to stick to and a routine for the kids.

“The one thing we agree on more than anything is that we just want what’s best for our children, and that’s to be a good mum and dad.”

Christine added that “being present” with the kids is far better than any gift she could give them.

“So, around Christmas time, I always make sure that I’m at home more than ever – I love it,” she said.

The former couple announced their split in July 2022.

In a joint statement signed off with a kiss, Christine and Paddy said they aimed to be the “best parents they could be”.

Former model Christine was 19 when she met Paddy at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament in 2007.

The pair struck up a relationship and married at Thornton Manor on the Wirral in 2011.

They went on to have three children who were autistic and spoke about the subject in a moving film called Paddy and Christine McGuinness: Our Family and Autism last year.
