Christine McGuinness joked ‘there are at least five people who will think this is about them’ as she shared matching Instagram Stories with her new love interest Nicola Adams on Saturday.
The ex wife of Paddy McGuinness is thought to be growing close to Olympic boxing star Nicola, 43.
The pair recently attended The DIVA Awards 2026, a celebration of the achievements of LGBTQIA women and non-binary people, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, in London, where their blossoming romance was undeniable.
An onlooker told the Daily Mail’s Eden Confidential: ‘They were inseparable and looked like they were a couple.’
And on Saturday they shared matching Instagram posts as they both uploaded singing videos.
Christine, 38, was enjoying a road trip where she belted out a series of tunes while driving, while elsewhere Nicola wore a black crop top as she danced and sang to a series of hits.
As Christine sang and danced to her series of songs she penned in one caption: ‘Let’s drive – disclaimer… There is absolutely zero hidden messages, coded music, secret notes “To” or “About” anyone!

‘I had DJ X choose the music at random. (You know at least five people will think it’s about them!’
It appears to be early days for Christine and the retired sports star, who are now following each other on Instagram.
A representative for Nicola, said this week: ‘We don’t feel the need to make a comment at this time.’
It comes as Christine admitted she ‘wildly overshared’ on an LGBTQ+ podcast where she recently branded herself a ‘five star lesbian’.
In a recent interview on LGBTQ+ podcast It Started With A Kiss, the mother-of-three, who has dated both men and women, branded herself a ‘five star lesbian’ as she opened up on her sexuality, sex life and love of ‘Japanese bondage’.
Now Christine has shared an array of behind-the-scenes clips from the shoot as she shared how much she enjoyed getting to record her first queer podcast.
Sharing the clips on Instagram on Saturday, Christine – who is reportedly getting close to Olympic boxing star Nicola Adams – wrote: ‘Thank you for all the love on @itstartedwithakiss My first full queer pod and I had the BEST time…
‘We laughed, we danced, and I (yes, just me) wildly overshared! 10/10 would do it again.’
In the clips shared by Christine, she was seen singing along to the lyrics ‘you’re a bad idea but a real good time’ from Bella Kay’s iloveitiloveitiloveit.
During the podcast interview, Christine told queer icons Amy Spalding and Gareth Valentino: ‘I would love to have a wife one day, not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love and all of that, I would love to just be saying, “this is my wife!”

The rise of the later life ‘celesbians’: The female stars who came out after 35 – as Christine McGuinness reveals she’s ‘looking for a wife’ following split from husband Paddy
‘[The double life] is ideal for me, because I don’t want to bring somebody into my personal life too quick. I like the separate life. My family, my kids, my home is up there and then I come to London, step off that train, I can work, have fun, I can sleep in and I don’t need to worry about everything.’
Christine added: ‘I love a double life! And this has become a problem because eventually it gets to the point where, obviously, I’m quite happy at this, and then my woman’s going…
‘[When] am I going to meet the kids? And “are we doing this forever?” And I’m kind of going like, “OK, I thought I did tell you that that wasn’t going to change any time soon at the beginning”.
‘I feel like it’s always me that sticks to the plan. This has been a thing with all of the women that I’ve dated. I’ll always let them know my situation.’
Christine was married to Paddy from 2011 to 2022 and while they happily co-parent their three children together, she’s clear that she doesn’t want any more children.
‘I always make sure that that’s known.’ she said. ‘And that I don’t want any more children because a lot of the women that I meet usually don’t have children and they want children, whereas I’ve had them.
‘So that’s something that I try and be honest about at the beginning to anybody that I’m even talking to.’
Christine got very personal during the interview and said she will only use new sex toys in the bedroom, fresh out of the plastic.
She said: ‘I’m so serious. I went, “stop, no because you might be a Gold Star Lesbian, but I’m a Five Star Lesbian”.’
A Gold Star Lesbian is a slang term for a lesbian who has never had sexual or romantic experiences with men.
She continued: ‘I’ll tell you about this one date, well, it wasn’t a date, it was when I did the whole hotel thing and not the whole date thing.
‘Because I didn’t want to ever just meet someone and it just be sex, but then kind of did find myself in a place in life where I was like, do you know what? I actually do just want to do that because I’ve been married, I’ve had situationships, I was single, I was celibate for six months, and with all of that, I just had a moment of, do you know what, I wouldn’t mind just meeting up with someone and just seeing how it goes.
‘So I got to this hotel and I’m thinking this is just sex, it’s fine. And she was a very, very beautiful, like that perfect, pretty, handsome, like masc stud type woman, really gorgeous, dark skin, like she had the whole, everything.
‘And we didn’t get straight down to it, but it was late, we just went to the bedroom, we sat down, she’s getting out her things, her accessories.
‘While she’s putting it on, she’s talking to me, she’s showing me, we’re just chatting away and she said that she was a Gold Star Lesbian. So I’m like, love that, love a Gold Star Lesbian.
‘I just think that each to their own and everything… So I was the giver for the evening and the morning, and I kept myself to myself.’
She added: ‘But it’s what always happens and I’m always quite surprised, especially when it’s a masculine woman. I always expect it to be the other way around, but it just never is. It’ll always be me doing the most and they’re a pillow princess.’
Christine spoke about doing exclusive content on adult content platform Subs and why she enjoys taking part in Japanese bondage, Shibari.
Shibari is an art form using rope to create intricate patterns on the body, emphasising trust, communication, and emotional connection between partners.
She said: ‘It’s only more recently I’m thinking, okay, now this is great and I love this, but I’m also very self-aware and I think I’m loving a bit of a power trip here. Now, I’m never going to be a pillow princess but I absolutely love to receive as well.’
