Christine, 36, and Paddy, 51, announced they were going their separate ways shortly after the airing of the moving documentary Our Family And Autism in 2021. The show followed the former couple and their three children through their experience with autism, with Christine being diagnosed soon after their children.
Yet, after all the pain and heartache of their divorce, co-parenting their children and Christine's own journey of self-discovery following her autism diagnosis, it seems the model and TV personality is finally through to the other side.

Moreover, as she confirmed last month and with a huge smile on her face, yes, she is "dating".
