Christine McGuinness all smiles as she's spotted wearing wedding ring despite Paddy split

Christine McGuinness was all smiles on Wednesday as she stepped out in Cheshire following her split from husband Paddy.

The mother-of-three looked glamorous, as per usual, and showed off her tanned pins in a pair of blue denim shorts and a white cropped T-shirt.

Christine, 34, wore her glossy blonde hair in loose waves and was grinning from ear-to-ear as she ran errands near her home.

The Real Housewives star accessorised her look with a pair of dark sunglasses, a beige Prada handbag and blue and white Nike trainers.

But perhaps the most important detail of all was Christine's diamond engagement ring as well as her wedding band, which were still visible on her left hand.

Christine and 48-year-old Paddy issued a joint statement via their respective Instagram accounts last Friday, addressing the recent rumours and speculation surrounding their relationship.

The former couple explained how the decision to split had been made "a while ago" and confirmed they would continue to live together in their family home for the sake of their three young children.

In the wake of their separation becoming public news, it's been reported that Instagram messages between Paddy and another TV star were "one of the driving forces" for the couple deciding to go their separate ways earlier this year.

According to a source speaking to the MailOnline, there was nothing to suggest the messages exchanged between Paddy and the unnamed star went beyond friendship, but Christine was 'upset' upon discovering them.

"It’s unclear how they met but they followed one another for a while," the insider claimed when discussing the messages with the publication.

"There have been various issues between him and Christine, but this was definitely one of the driving forces that began to make them assess their future as a married couple."

The Mirror previously approached representatives for Christine and Paddy for comment regarding the source quotes. A representative for Christine confirmed they had "no further comment to make".

Rumours surrounding the state of the former couple's relationship had been prominent over recent weeks, with Christine even saying she "didn’t cause this situation" when discussing their marriage troubles in an interview earlier this month.

The pair married in June 2011 following a four-year courtship, with Paddy's comedian pal Peter Kay acting as the best man on their during special day.

Paddy and Christine are parents to their three children - twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and daughter Felicity, five - all of whom have been diagnosed with autism.
