Paddy and Christine McGuinness have announced they've split up after 11 years of marriage and in a joint statement released on Instagram, the pair strongly felt they needed to 'clarify' after the speculation surrounding their relationship. The statement reads: “We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify. “A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.This was not an easy decision to make but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.
