The pair have revealed they still live together with their kids in an effort to protect them.
Talking to OK! magazine, Christine spoke about the arrangement and admitted she didn’t know how long it would last.
She said: ‘It’s certainly not a long-term or forever plan. It works right now because we’re both so busy and we’re in and out of the home so we tend to swap days and we’ll share.
‘It’s much like any parent really – juggling jobs and children. We definitely don’t want to upset them or change anything too quickly, and for me as well.’
