Love life and husband

Christine met Ed Tobin when she started working for the Reuters News Agency as Ed is their top news editor. Ed has recently won the Editor of the Year award at the Reuters Journalist of the Year Awards in March 2019 – he has been with the news agency for over 22 years now.

Their wedding was held in 1999 with only their closest friends and family attending and Christine gave birth to three of their children during the years one of whom is named Edward Arthur Tobin.

In the summer of 2015, rumors began circulating the internet that Christine and Ed were divorcing due to conflicting schedules, which led to them not having enough time to see each other. It is also believed that they wanted to raise their children in different ways which contributed to them drifting away from one another. Although the rumors state that the two might have divorced in 2016, neither Ed nor Christine have commented about the alleged divorce. However, Christine can no longer be seen uploading pictures with her husband onto her social media accounts while she often uploads pictures with her children.
