Christine McGuinness and Nicola Adams are reportedly growing close after both recently ending long-term relationships. The two were seen together at the DIVA Awards 2026 in London, sparking interest in their potential connection.
McGuinness, age 38, was previously married to Paddy McGuinness for 11 years before their separation in 2022. Meanwhile, Adams, age 43, split from her partner Ella Baig in March 2025 after seven years together. Both women are currently navigating single parenting; McGuinness has three children with her ex-husband, while Adams shares a son with Baig.
During a recent podcast appearance, McGuinness declared herself a ‘five-star lesbian’ and expressed her desire to have a wife one day, describing it as a ‘celebration of love.’ This sentiment resonates with many in the LGBTQIA+ community who advocate for love in all its forms.
Attendees at the DIVA Awards noted that McGuinness and Adams appeared inseparable and looked like they were a couple. A close friend of Nicola remarked that they would make a good match as they share similar experiences of moving on from long-term relationships while parenting.
Despite the growing speculation about their relationship, representatives for Nicola Adams have stated, “We don’t feel the need to make a comment at this time.” This leaves fans curious about the nature of their bond.
As both women explore new paths in their personal lives, they continue to support each other publicly. Their connection highlights the complexities of celebrity relationships and the realities of single parenting within the LGBTQIA+ community.
