Paddy McGuinness Shares Heartwarming and Hilarious Valentine's Day Moment with Daughter
Television personality Paddy McGuinness has revealed a sweet yet surprising Valentine's Day experience involving his youngest daughter. The 52-year-old presenter spent the romantic occasion with his three children, twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity, whom he shares with his ex-wife Christine McGuinness.
A Homemade Card with a Twist
Felicity, aged nine, crafted a special homemade Valentine's card for her father, which initially touched Paddy deeply. He shared a photo of the card on Instagram, showing a red heart with the word "Daddy" and a small heart doodle on the front. Paddy expressed his joy over the day, mentioning treats like sweets, bird feeding, homemade cupcakes, and a Sunday roast.
However, the heartfelt moment took a humorous turn when Paddy read the message on the back of the card. He wrote in his post, "I was touched… until I read the back! Hope you had a belting weekend."
The Cheeky Message Revealed
The back of the card featured a playful rhyme that read: "Happy Valentines day. Here's a little Valentine's rymm [rhyme]. Roses are red, violets are blue, I love you, but you stink of poos." This lighthearted joke added a burst of laughter to the otherwise sentimental gesture, showcasing the family's close and fun-loving dynamic.
Family Background and Living Arrangements
Paddy and Christine McGuinness announced the end of their marriage in 2022 after 11 years together, but they have continued to live together in their Cheshire home to co-parent their children. In a statement at the time, they emphasized, "We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."
Christine later provided more details on the Shizzio Show, explaining that they live in separate parts of the house, stating, "We separated three years ago and we are completely divorced, and we live in separate parts of the house but we share a family home." Reports in 2025 indicated that the marital home was listed for sale at £6.5 million to allow for a fresh start, though the family remains committed to maintaining stability for their children.
This Valentine's Day story highlights the blend of affection and humor that defines the McGuinness family, offering a glimpse into their ongoing journey as a united yet separated unit.
