Christine McGuinness, Dan Osborne Exchange Flirty Texts Amid Marital Breakdowns

Christine McGuinness and Dan Osborne reportedly developed a close friendship, exchanging 'flirty texts' and supporting each other during their respective marriage breakdowns. Their bond, which began in 2019, included meetings at social events and allegedly a London hotel in March 2023, as well as mutual support at various outings. Both parties insist nothing sexual happened, with Christine stating she was single at the time and Dan denying any impropriety, even suggesting some messages could be 'deep fakes or AI'. Friends describe their messages as often platonic, involving conversations about their children, though there was a perceived spark between them. The nature of their friendship became an 'open secret' among their circles, but both remain adamant their interactions did not cross any lines. Dan continues to work through his marriage with Jacqueline Jossa, while Christine separated from Paddy McGuinness in 2022 after 11 years of marriage.
