Rumours of a budding romance between Christine McGuinness and Nicola Adams had only just started heating up — but now things may already be getting complicated.
The pair recently sparked dating speculation after appearing inseparable at the DIVA Awards, with onlookers claiming they looked “just like a couple” throughout the night. Their chemistry quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity rumours online, especially after Nicola appeared to hint at the romance herself on social media.
In a playful Instagram clip, Nicola shared a video of herself vibing to the song She Goes By while jokingly writing: “Them: ‘You’re not that crazy about that woman.’” She then added the caption: “Who me 😂 #wlw” — leaving fans convinced she was referring to Christine.
But just as the rumours were taking off, shocking new photos emerged showing Christine passionately kissing DJ Roxxxan inside her car over the weekend.
The images reportedly left Nicola “feeling hurt”, with insiders claiming she genuinely believed her connection with Christine was becoming something meaningful.
According to a source, Nicola is not someone who opens up easily, and when she develops feelings for someone, she becomes deeply invested from the beginning. The insider explained that Nicola values loyalty, commitment and emotional certainty — which made seeing the photos particularly painful for her.
At the same time, Christine is said to have been completely honest from the start about not wanting to put labels on anything or rush into a serious relationship. Following her very public personal journey in recent years, Christine reportedly wants to enjoy her freedom and explore new experiences without pressure.
The source also claimed Nicola has been trying hard to “play it cool” despite her feelings, especially because she understands that everything is still new and exciting for Christine. However, emotionally, the two women are believed to be very different, with Nicola allegedly struggling more with the uncertainty surrounding their connection.
Fans also noticed Nicola appearing to subtly respond online after the kissing photos surfaced. She posted glamorous selfies alongside Trey Songz’s track Mr Steal Your Girl — a move some believe was aimed directly at Christine.
Whether this turns into heartbreak, a love triangle, or simply modern dating complications, one thing is certain: fans are now watching every move very closely.
