Paddy McGuinness has opened up about his \u2018glorious\u2019 birthday on social media after going on holiday with ex-wife Christine McGuinness.<\/p>\n

Former Top Gear presenter Paddy<\/a> and model Christine initially tied the knot in 2011 in a lavish Cheshire ceremony surrounded by their family and friends.<\/p>\n

Fans of the famous couple were left stunned in 2022 when they announced their split after over a decade as a married couple.<\/p>\n

Christine is currently looking to find love again on Celebs Go Dating, with her featuring in the current season airing on E4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together, Paddy and Christine share three children together; twins Leo and Penelope, and their younger sister Felicity.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram on Friday (August 15), Paddy shared a series of photos from their family holiday to Spain, with the This Morning<\/a> presenter turning 52 on Thursday (August 14).<\/p>\n

Leading the collection of photos was one of Paddy topless in just a pair of black shorts as he showed off his muscular physique.<\/p>\n

Paddy captioned the post: \u201cJust got back from a glorious five days in the sunshine. My kids made birthday gifts, we had lots of lovely food, drink and a tan that would made @jamie.redknapp proud!<\/p>\n

\u201cMet some wonderful families at @zafirohotels and had a belting, relaxed time. Big shout out to the mighty @manairportuk, in particular Samantha Richardson and Jane McBride. Two wonderful ladies who made a last minute check in stress free. They put all our kids at ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lanyard scheme worked both at Manchester and Palma coming back. Back home now, chippy tea and an early night for everyone!!!.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Christine opened up<\/a> about how she\u2019s looking to move on from her and Paddy\u2019s relationship on the season premiere of Celebs Go Dating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m a couple of steps away from being my new self and not \u2018Paddy\u2019s wife\u2019. I\u2019m coming out of the transition part.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am single and I absolutely do love women. I\u2019d love to explore that more and I definitely see that\u2019s where I\u2019m more comfortable,\u201d the mum-of-three said.<\/p>\n

She later added: \u201cI\u2019ll always love him as the father of my children, I think he\u2019ll be the only man I\u2019ll ever love. A lot of people make mistakes and mess up, when you are a couple who is quite well-known in the industry then obviously everyone knows your business\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways, I still carry that feeling of it\u2019s my fault because I ended it. We had an amazing 15 years, we really did. The last couple of years, I think things weren\u2019t quite the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think once the respect isn\u2019t quite there any more, it\u2019s time to leave. It was the hardest decision I\u2019ve ever made in my life and it forever will be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The former couple travelled to Spain with their young childrenPaddy and Christine posed with two airport workers(Image: Instagram\/mcguinness.paddy)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,35616,96,37090,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-71954","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-christine-mcguinness","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-paddy-mcguinness","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
