Fears about living without her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness were stated by Christine McGuinness.
Although they separated up in July of last year, the model, 35, and the former Take Me Out presenter, 48, continue to reside in the same house with their kids.
Felicity, 6, and twins Leo and Penelope, 9, are their three children; she recently disclosed that they are unaware of their parents’ separation.
Christine said they both didn’t want to do anything to ‘upset’ their kids when asked how long she’ll stay in the house with her ex.
‘We definitely don’t want to upset them or change anything too quickly, and for me as well. I like slow changes, and we’re alright – we’re family,’ she told OK! magazine.
‘I’ve known Paddy for 15 years, so I don’t know life without him. It is what it is.’
Three months ago, Christine and Paddy celebrated Christmas together and decorated the tree with their children when pictures of Christine kissing her friend Chelcee Grimes, 30, surfaced online.
Christine has admitted that the reason she stayed in her marriage for so long was because it was “comfortable,” even though she and Paddy have remained amicable and are still living together.
The mum-of-three previously said: ‘I didn’t want my family to ever fall apart and that’s why I stayed married.
‘As an autistic woman, I like to stay where I’m comfortable – I like things to stay the same.
‘I understand myself better now. That’s where I was comfortable – just knowing that it was me, Patrick and the children. But sometimes change has to happen. You just have to deal with it in the best way possible.’
Christine previously remarked that she “can’t think of anything worse” than going on dates right now in regards to her personal dating situation.
‘I was talking about this with a friend, actual dating I can’t think of anything worse and I think for an autistic person it is so much worse because the dating scene, from what I’ve heard, you have to go into a restaurant, you’re meeting someone you don’t know, you’re in a place that you might not have been to before,’ she said.
‘I don’t drink so I wouldn’t go to a bar but I never really dated so going on dates for me is not something I want to do. I absolutely do not want to go on a date.’
