Paddy McGuinness ‘leaning on’ Kirsty Gallagher after split with wife Christine

PADDY McGuinness is “leaning on Kirsty Gallacher” in the wake of his split from wife Christine McGuinness, new reports claim.

The I Can See Your Voice host and Christine announced in July 2022 they would be going their separate ways after 11 years of marriage.

Together they share three children.

As Paddy tries to navigate his newfound single life, he has reportedly turned to his longtime friend Kirsty, who’s previously dealt with public divorce herself.

A source has now told OK! Magazine presenting pair Kirsty and Paddy have “known each other a long time and have a lot in common.”

“They’re both single and have gone through marriage splits,” they said. “Kirsty is a bit of a shoulder for him to lean on and she’s good at giving advice.”

GB News star Kirsty split from rugby player Paul Sampson in 2015 after a 16-year relationship and five-year marriage.

She has two sons with her ex, and later claimed the break-up was so traumatic it gave her PTSD as she struggled to deal with the loss.

The comments come after the pair were seen spending time together at London’s Ham Yard Hotel in February, with onlookers believing they may have been on a date.

At the time, representatives for both McGuinness and Gallacher didn’t give a comment.

In the meantime, Paddy’s ex-wife Christine has been raising awareness of autism ahead of her new BBC Three documentary.

She’s also released a book Amazing Me, Amazing You, which is designed to help children with autism.

“I’m trying to keep going and enjoy life – I’m so grateful for everything and to be here today,” she said during an appearance on Loose Women.

“I’m blessed in so many ways, it’s been a crazy year but I’ve had so many positives.”

The ex Real Housewives of Cheshire favourite was diagnosed with autism last year – before revealing she also suffers with ADHD.
