Paddy McGuinness and his wife Christine McGuinness' split may have made the headlines, but the pair still share an unusual living arrangement.
The Bolton comic, 49, and model Christine, 35, called time on their relationship in July last year following an 11-year marriage.
But the pair continued to keep up the happy charades for a number of weeks before making their decision public.
And following their split they promised to keep things amicable for the sake of their three children; twins Penelope and Leo, 9, and Felicity, 7.
The former couple said they've tried to "keep things as normal as possible" for the kids and their home life.
One way they've done this is to avoid telling the youngsters their parents have actually split up. This means the duo are still living under the same roof in a bid to play happy families and keep life the same for the children.
Paddy and Christine's joint statement at the time of their split read: "We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship."
Continuing the announcement, which was made on Instagram, the pair said they will continue to "live happily in our family home together".
They said their main priority was to "move forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children".
All three of their children have been diagnosed with autism, with mum Christine also diagnosed in 2021.
Christine has admitted being single "petrified" her.
Speaking to OK! Magazine recently, Christine also said: "We don't know what the future holds or how it's going to be moving forward, but we'll try to keep things as normal as possible.
"I'm quite happy for him to be there with the children and it's nice for them to see Mummy and Daddy just being alright. We can sit and have a cup of tea together and that's fine."
It remains to be seen what will happen when one of the pair officially moves on to a new relationship, with rumours circulating that the Max and Paddy star is growing closer to presenter Kirsty Gallagher.
Last month, the Take Me Out presenter was spotted "getting cosy" with the former Sky Sports star at the Ham Yard Hotel in London's Soho.
It his since been reported they have been "leaning on each other" since their break-ups - Kirsty split from former rugby player Paul Sampson partner in 2015 after 16 years together.
"Paddy and Kirsty have known each other a long time and are good friends," a source revealed to OK!.
He's also reportedly removed the heart tattoo that he got on his ring finger in tribute to his ex.
Christine is said to find the idea of the pair dating "tough". A source told Closer: "Even though Christine has been in a great place- she's moving on and knows it's through with Paddy- part of her is still getting over the end of her marriage, so hearing about him potentially being in a new relationship was naturally a surprise.
"The idea of Paddy dating a celebrity like Kirsty is also tough for her, just because she and Kirsty have some mutual friends and already people have been talking about it."
Christine was previously spotted embracing and kissing best pal Chelcee Grimes during a trip to Winter Wonderland in London. The pair have been hanging out since meeting on ITV show The Games.
While they played down the scenes, they've still remained close. Earlier this week, Chelcee organised a birthday surprise for the model, who then indulged at a spa.
It came as Christine admitted she will be "living freely to my absolute fullest" in the lead up to her first birthday since her split.
