Speaking to the Mail Online a source close to the former couple said: “Paddy is very much the king of his castle when it comes to their house. There was no way he was going to move into a smaller property while she stayed in their big house.”
The exes share three children together who have all been diagnosed with autism. In 2021 Christine McGuiness was also diagnosed with autism and ADHD.

Paddy also knew that Christine would not want to cause their children upset by putting the house up for sale as they need routine and familiar surroundings because of their autism. Christine does have the option to force the sale of the house but she wanted to put her children’s needs first."
This comes after the comedian upset his ex-wife after joking about their divorce during the first minute of his live show. Paddy reportedly said: “Tonight, folks, we’re all here as human beings with one common goal... and that’s to help me pay for my divorce. I’ve had the pants down, me, the pants down.” According to reports Christine was furious by his comment.
