Christine McGuinness has signed up for an OnlyFans spin-off show after revealing her divorce from ex-husband Paddy McGuinness was extremely expensive.
The model, 37, split from Paddy after 11 years of marriage.
The pair announced their split in 2022 and reportedly settled their divorce in October last year while remaining friends and living together to co-parent their children, Leo and Penelope, 10, and Felicity, seven.
The star previously admitted that the divorce was very expensive, but she’s determined to be able to say: ‘I paid for my own divorce.’
During an appearance on The Shizzio Show podcast, Christine explained: ‘There was times where it was fine and really civil, and we were agreeing on what we wanted and what we were going, then there was times where it felt like we were starting all the way back at the beginning.
‘It’s the biggest bill I have ever paid in my life, and I will say that I paid for my own divorce, nobody else…’
Now, the model, 37, has joined Subs.com, a brand new platform from the same creators of the adult subscription site OnlyFans.
Christine is the first star to unveil a Subs Originals series, which will explore Christine’s life, from her experience with autism to her life as a mother.
Christine said: ‘My story has been shared for years through other people’s voices and platforms.
‘With Subs, I can share as much or as little as I like – all on my own terms whilst keeping ownership, studying new skills and enjoying creative freedom… and that’s the real power, originality.’
She continued: ‘This is more than a career move – it’s a declaration that women and mothers can lead, create, and own their work.
‘I’m building something sustainable, something that works for me and my life as a woman, a mother, and an independent businesswoman.’
She added: ‘The digital creator business is huge, and the opportunities are endless.
‘As a mother, I’ve learned it’s never too late to educate yourself, to expand your mind, and to grow your career in new directions.
‘For me, time freedom is the ultimate goal – building a business that fits my life and my family.
‘To be the very first invested in creator on this platform is not just exciting. It’s life-changing.’
Christine has previously explained that her divorce from Paddy was more complicated than expected.
‘I think people assume that if you’re going through a divorce with someone who earns a hell of a lot of money, your legal fees will be covered, or they will cover the costs or something, but it doesn’t work like that.
‘I think both of us now, if we could sit down and do it again, yeah, we’d do it completely differently, because we both spent a hell of a lot of money on divorce lawyers.
‘Me personally, £300,000 out of my own money that I didn’t even have.’
She then added: ‘I probably wouldn’t have gone down that route. I got someone to represent me that was equal to who was representing him.
‘I didn’t have £300,000 to pay for a divorce! I’m still paying for it.’
In the interview, the star added that she doesn’t think she will ever publicly reveal why she and Paddy chose to split.
‘I’ve never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don’t know if I ever will. It was a difficult time. It wasn’t something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do.
‘We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?
‘I’ll always, always love him as the father of the children, and I still live at home with him, which says a lot. We separated three years ago, and we are completely divorced, and we live in separate parts of the house, but we share a family home.’
Now, as Christine embarks on her newest venture with Subs.com, it looks like she’s ready for a fresh start.
