Kerry Katona reveals tense relationship with first husband Brian McFadden and shares hopes for a friendship with ex
KERRY'S TAKE
Whole Again singer Kerry recently told how she hoped she could have stayed pals with boyband star Brian.
It came before the mum of five recently opened up on their tense relationship.
She spoke from the heart about her ex during the podcast Meeting… Kerry Katona - and the sadness that has followed.
The Atomic Kitten star, 43, told presenter Matt Foister: "I really wish me and Brian were friends. I said that to Lily yesterday because she was going to [Westlife's] concert to watch and I said, I wish I could come."
Kerry Katona's love life timeline
Kerry's first high-profile relationship was with Brian McFadden, who was then a member of the Irish boyband Westlife.
The couple married in 2002 and had two daughters together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but divorce beckoned just four years later after infidelity claims.
In 2007, Kerry married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver.
Their relationship was tumultuous and marked by financial difficulties and accusations of infidelity.
They had two children together, Heidi and Maxwell, before divorcing in 2011.
Kerry has spoken openly about the difficulties she faced during this period, including struggles with her mental health and substance abuse.
Following this, she entered into a relationship with George Kay, a former professional rugby league player.
They married in 2014 and had a daughter, Dylan-Jorge (DJ). However, their relationship was fraught with issues, including horrifying domestic abuse, and they separated in 2017. Kay died in 2019 after 'biting into a ball of cocaine'.
Kerry later found love again with Ryan Mahoney, a fitness trainer.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Kerry described Ryan as a stabilising and positive influence in her life.
After increasing speculation late in 2024, Kerry revealed they had split over a "breach in trust" and Ryan had moved out of her home.
She then admitted: "People forget I've lived a million lives after Brian, but it was so iconic and it was so public, and people always go on about me and Brian but it was a lifetime ago.
"He is a part of my story and he hates that, but unfortunately it is what it is and I'm grateful to him, because I went through something with Brian that was phenomenal... phenomenal."
LOVE STORY
Brian met his PE teacher partner Danielle in 2016 and they got engaged shortly after.
After meeting his long-term love, Brian popped the question shortly after in December 2019.
The happy couple welcomed their daughter Ruby Jean into the world back in 2021.
Brian recently revealed his intimate wedding plans to his fiancée after their five-year engagement.
The happy couple had planned on getting married in South Africa but were forced to postpone their big day due to Covid-19 restrictions and the birth of their daughter.
Following his split with Kerry, he was previously engaged to Australian singer Delta Goodrem from 2007 to 2011.
He was then married to model Vogue Williams from 2012 to 2017.

Liam Gallagher's 'new measure to avoid feuding with brother Noel REVEALED' amid the once warring pair's Oasis tour reunion
Liam and Noel Gallagher 's mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour. Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are said to been ' kept apart' in 'military style operation' when not on stage, but now their beloved mother, 81, is also on hand to help avoid a bust up. The warring siblings' fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band and they have been embroiled in a very public feud ever since. But Liam is said to be 'loving' spending time with his mum, to whom he is very close, and her presence is helping him 'keep his head down' and stay in the 'best mindset'. Proud Peggy is also reportedly ecstatic ahead of all her sons on stage at Wembley next week, with eldest Paul, 59, performing a DJ set ahead of the main show. A source told The Sun: 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. [She] has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' Liam (L) and Noel (R) Gallagher's mum Peggy is reportedly keeping her once feuding sons in check amid their Oasis reunion tour 'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.' MailOnline have contacted Oasis' reps for comment. But despite managing to put their difference aside to get back on stage, they have reportedly required separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting 'PR and financial nightmare'. A source told The Mirror: 'They will not be in each other's pockets and effectively be separate entities that come together for necessary promotional work and the gigs. Other than that they will be apart for much of this reunion. 'Rehearsals will be the first time that they will be together for a significant amount of time working again. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, but also a little edgy.' In 2019, Peggy told her youngest son Liam that he was going to bury the hatchet with his brother the following year, firmly declaring: 'And that's it.'ll. Since Oasis' split in 2009, Peggy is said to have continually urged her sons to put aside their differences - telling Noel and Liam that putting an end to their feud would have been the 'best 80th birthday present'. Earlier this month Liam and Noel's estranged father hit out at his sons by saying they 'don't know f***ing music'. Irish-born Thomas Augustin Gallagher hasn't seen the Oasis duo for years, who've never forgiven him for how they treated their mother when they were boys. Since the duo reunited a video has come to light of Thomas - who goes by Tommy - dismissing his sons' illustrious career. In the 2018 video, TikToker Jack Burke was filming in Manchester when Tommy walked past and intervened, saying: 'Have you heard of the band Oasis? I'm their father. Noel and Liam Gallagher.' When Jack asked for his name, he said: 'Thomas Augustus Gallagher' - pulling his passport out of his pocket to show to Jack. As Jack walks off, Tommy retorts: '[Them] guys talking about music, they wouldn't f***ing know music if it f***ing bit them.' In the comments section of the video, one follower claimed that Tommy is a regular where she works and often boasts about being their father. She claimed: 'He always comes in the pub I work in telling us all.' MailOnline has contacted Liam and Noel's representatives for comment. Tommy and Peggy divorced in 1986 after being separated for a number of years, with Peggy moving out of their family home in Burnage with their sons after Tommy's drinking and gambling problem spiralled into violent outbursts. Noel was 19 and Liam 14 at the time. Speaking about the split, Peggy previously said: 'I left him a knife and a fork and a spoon. And I think I left him too much.' Noel and Liam cut ties with their father when they moved out, with Liam opening about his childhood in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph. He said: 'I was about seven when my mam left my dad. He was out all the time, fighting, beating my mam up, beating Noel and Paul up. Never touched me, though. 'Then, one night, while he was out, my mam got her brothers round, got all our gear in a truck, left him a mattress, and we went off to our new house.' Meanwhile, Noel confessed the abuse he suffered at the hands of his 'violent, alcoholic' father made him worry about what sort of parent he would be. Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in 2015, he revealed he developed a stammer as a result of the beatings he got from his father, and said he didn't want to repeat the mistakes which scarred his 'horrific' childhood.

Love Island's Siannise Fudge slams show for ‘normalising abusive behaviour' and says villa girls ‘deserve so much more'
LOVE Island's Siânnise Fudge has slammed the show for "normalising abusive behaviour" after Woman's Aid issued a statement. The reality star, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2020, shared a quote that US model Bella Hadid said during an interview with publication Mighty Pursuits. 4 It read: "I constantly went back to men that abused me. I would become silent and cry... [As a] people pleaser... I was putting my worth in the hands of someone else." Siânnise, 31, admitted the powerful message had resonated with what she had seen on this series of Love Island and insisted the villa girls "deserve so much more". She wrote: "I have been a victim in my past relationships of this behaviour which I thought was normal - and that's the scariest part. "It's so disappointing and very disturbing that this behaviour on national TV especially on one of the biggest tv shows is being normalised. "Those girls deserve so much more, they deserve to be respected and my heart goes out to them." Siânnise, who was runner-up on her series with Luke Trotman, did not reveal which past relationship she was talking about. The star said the behaviour she had witnessed this series "should never be tolerated". She continued: 'I'm sure they will need a lot of support when they are out as I know the intensity of that environment and having to deal with that behaviour on top is just awful. "This whole thread speaks volumes and I'm gonna leave it here. "Please read and I hope this helps understand why this will never be ok and should never be tolerated." She also shared a thread from Women's Aid, which claimed the show was "reinforcing a culture trivialising violence against women and girls." However, ITV have made it clear that before entering the villa, Islanders are given Duty of Care training in language, behaviour and understanding mutual respect in relationships. The cast are offered a full package of measures to ensure they remain supported prior to, during and after the filming period on the show. The Sun have reached out to ITV for comment. Fans were left furious this week after Harrison had sex with Lauren twice before dumping her and going back to Toni. Harrison confessed his feelings for Toni just moments before the recoupling, which lead to her picking him. This left Lauren in floods of tears as she admitted he had humiliated her. Harrison then did a U-turn just a day later and said he no longer wanted Toni and was "missing" Lauren, leaving both girls furious. In response, Women's Aid has issued a statement condemning his behaviour and criticising the ITV reality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism. Jessye Werner, Communications Manager at Women's Aid, acknowledged the efforts production companies have made to highlight toxic behaviours but stressed that more progress is necessary. She told The Tab: "Despite these positive steps, we still see unhealthy patterns of behaviour on these shows, showing just how steeped in misogyny and sexism our society still is. 'Women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs. Misogyny and sexism lay the foundation for the tolerance of abuse and violence – it reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls. 'More must be done to educate contestants on sexism and misogyny, and it is a great credit to viewers who take to social media, continuing to call out these behaviours as soon as they see them.' 4
