The pair still live together for the sake of their children, despite their split.
Christine spoke out about her sexuality for the first time recently, revealing she has dated both sexes since she was a teen.
The Sun revealed her fling with a leading soap actress earlier this month.
Their encounter came in 2023, the year after Christine split from her ex-Top Gear host husband, Paddy, 51.
The well-known actress, whom we are not naming, has previously been in relationships with men.
Months after their marriage ended, Christine was pictured kissing singer Chelcee Grimes, 33.
It was revealed how Christine got "incredibly close" to footballer Chelcee before splitting from Paddy.
Yet the songwriter's recent fallout with pal Christine recently came to light, with the real reason for the pair's toxic spat revealed.
The former couple have since disconnected on social media.
Now, opening up in an interview with The Mail, Christine has revealed her ex Paddy's reaction to her dating woman.
Christine McGuinness gives update on relationship with Paddy after soap star fling
She said: "We spoke about this after we separated – what are we comfortable with, how much did we want to share – because neither of us wants to wake up and find the other on the front page of a newspaper.
"But it's been three years now, I don't need to know what he's doing and he doesn't need to know about me.
"It just stays outside the home."
Christine then continued to explain that she would never bring a date back home.
She shrieked: "No way! Even if I lived on my own it would be a long time before I took that step.
"I was messaging an amazing woman last year, and it took three months before I agreed to meet her for a date.
Christine has also said she would never use a dating app and meets people through friends, as her public profile is too high.
Christine refuses to discuss Paddy's romantic life.
The implication is they have both moved on and their private lives are none of each other's business.
But could she see herself getting married again?
"No,' she said.
" I don't mean I'm traumatised by marriage; I was just so young then. I didn't understand how you're legally tied to someone if you're married.
"I want to be in a committed relationship, but I want the freedom to walk away."
Paddy and Christine first met through a mutual friend in 2007, when she was 19 and he was 33.
In 2020, she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD after spending the majority of her life confused as to why she acted differently from everyone else growing up.
Since then, the TV star has been raising awareness for it through interviews, television shows and public speaking.
