Christine McGuinness’ new rumoured romantic interest Nicola Adams has shared a post threatening to ‘steal your girl’, after photos of her kissing another woman emerged this weekend. The Olympic boxer was seen cosying up to Christine during the DIVA Awards 2026, with onlookers saying the pair were “inseparable”.
But eyebrows were raised when Christine was photographed kissing DJ and rapper Roxxxan, who she has been linked with romantically since 2024 on and off. Mum-of-three Christine, 38, split from her ex husband, comedian Paddy McGuinness, in 2022, after 11 years of marriage.
Since the photos of Christine and Roxxxan were revealed, Nicola, 43, has gone on to share a cryptic post on Instagram. Filming herself in a mirror, she added the 2014 Trey Songz track Mr Steal Your Girl, suggesting it could be aimed at Roxxxan.

Christine, who shares her three children with Paddy, said that her sexuality has never been “a secret”. The reality star revealed on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast that her ex-husband and her family all knew she liked women, with Christine admitting she had a two-year ‘situationship’ before she met him.

She said: “It shouldn’t matter somebody’s gender. It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn’t properly date.
“It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal. It felt comfortable because I’d done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women.
“My ex-husband knew. My family knew. It was never a secret for me.”
Meanwhile, former Strictly star Nicola was in a long term relationship until the end of last year. In 2025, she separated from long-term partner Ella Baig, who is 15 years younger than her.
The 42-year-old acknowledged that her former partner’s explicit career as an adult content creator contributed to their relationship’s end. Speaking to The Sun last year about Baig’s X-rated work, she explained: “I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella’s career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans. However, as much as I respect what she does, I can’t deny that it has had an impact on our relationship.”
The pair share two-year-old son Taylor Nate, who was conceived through IVF. Such was the promising nature of their romance, the couple were compelled to dismiss speculation in November 2022 that they had secretly wed in Mexico after marriage rumours began circulating.

The duo reportedly even turned to couples therapy in a desperate bid to salvage their romance, but they ended up gradually splitting up. Like Christine and Paddy, they make an effort to do things as a family unit for the sake of their son, who is now four.
