Christine McGuinness is said to be furious with her former partner for listing their mansion for sale at a significantly higher price. Paddy McGuinness decided to increase the asking price by millions, leading Christine to suspect hidden motives behind his actions.
The couple, Christine, aged 37, and comedian Paddy, aged 51, announced their separation in July 2022 after being together for 11 years. They have three children together – twins Leo and Penelope, 11, and daughter Felicity, 8.
Despite their separation, they are still residing together in their lavish Cheshire home. Christine has reportedly grown tired of living under the same roof as her ex-partner, especially after Paddy listed the mansion for sale at a staggering price of £6.5 million, a significant increase from their purchase price of £2.1 million in 2020.
Insiders claim that Christine believes Paddy intentionally inflated the price to prevent a sale, aiming to prolong their living arrangement. A source revealed to the Daily Mail that the exorbitant price tag was unreasonable, suggesting that Paddy’s actions indicate a desire to control the situation and keep Christine in the house for an extended period.
Given the inflated price, Christine may have to endure living with Paddy for an extended period, despite expressing a preference for separate living arrangements. Sources indicated that Christine is eager to sell the property, divide the proceeds, and secure a smaller home where she can live with her children.
The situation represents a stark contrast to Paddy’s previous statement in April 2024, where he portrayed a harmonious co-parenting relationship with Christine. However, recent events suggest a shift in dynamics, with Christine increasingly seeking independence from the current living situation.
Christine and Paddy’s residence boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a home gym, and a playroom complete with a ball pit. Following their divorce, a court ruling allowed them to retain the property as long as they continued residing together.
The evolving circumstances indicate a challenging period for Christine as she navigates the complexities of her relationship with Paddy and strives for a resolution that aligns with her needs and those of her children.
