Brian McFadden's doomed marriage to Kerry Katona as he marries for third time
As Brian McFadden celebrates his third marriage with new wife Danielle Parkinson, we take a look back at his doomed marriages with Kerry Katona and Vogue Williams which both ended in utter heartbreak Brian McFadden has married fiancée Danielle Parkinson in a stunning ceremony in Cornwall, marking a new chapter in his life and his third walk down the aisle. The former Westlife star, now 45, tied the knot in a stunning beachside ceremony and has given fans a glimpse into their special day. The Irish singer took to Instagram to share a carousel of images with his new wife, along with their daughter, Ruby Jean. The newlyweds were seen grinning from ear to ear as they posed in beautiful matching white outfits. They said 'I do' in a stunning beach ceremony and fans were quick to send sweet wishes to the happy couple. Before tying the knot with Danielle, Brian recently opened up about his journey through love, marriage, fatherhood, and how his perspective has changed over the years. Speaking ahead of the big day, Brian spoke candidly about lessons learned from his two previous marriages, to Kerry Katona and Vogue Williams. 'You live and learn, you go through life living and learning,' he told Closer. 'Getting married is a great thing, but if the marriage isn't working there's nothing wrong in walking away from each other.' Brian first got married at 22, to Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. The couple had a whirlwind romance and went on to have two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue. However, the relationship didn't last, crumbling under the pressure of fame and personal issues. Brian later admitted to being unfaithful to Kerry during his stag night - a regretful chapter he's since acknowledged publicly. Kerry has previously shared that she couldn't make her ex-husband Brian love her 'enough' to stay together when they were married. The former couple began dating in 1999 and then tied the knot in 2002. The marriage however ended in just two years later in 2004 and Kerry has previously spoken about separating from former Westlife member Brian over the years. The former Atomic Kitten singer shared her sad confession as she said: "I remember feeling shattered when my first marriage broke down and I was left with two baby daughters. It's one thing being heartbroken by the loss of a relationship, but add to that the guilt of being a mum and it's so hard." "I'll never forget the sadness of feeling like I couldn't make Brian love me enough to keep our family together." Kerry went on to share in the magazine column at the time that it took her a "long time" to "get over that". More recently, Kerry said that she doesn't "blame" Brian for the end of the relationship. Speaking on Slingo's Getting Lippy Gossip Show last year, as previously reported, she said: "You can't force somebody to love you if someone falls out of love with you. It took me a long time to get over this but if somebody doesn't want to be with you can't force them to stay with you and Brian didn't want to be with me." Brian told the Independent in 2007 that early on in the relationship he hadn't thought about whether he wanted a long-term future with Kerry. He said that life "ran away" with him, saying: "So then, when we had the first baby, bought a house, spent time together and Westlife became the same thing over and over, I woke up one morning and realised, 'This is not what I want to do with my life, I don't see myself being with this woman in 20 years, she's not who I'm meant to be with, we don't have anything in common'." He later described their marriage as having not been "real," saying it was for "a big party" and to "get loads of money for it" and to "appear showbiz". He suggested that it ended on the stag night, when he cheated with a lap dancer, ahead of the wedding. He once said that it was then that he thought "this is not supposed to be". As previously reported, Kerry admitted on the Getting Lippy Gossip Show that she believes the "trust had just gone" after he cheated. Appearing on Celebs Go Dating, Kerry broke down in tears as she said Brian was the only man she'd ever loved. Kerry sobbed as she recalled her dating history and admitted it's gone "downhill" since her first divorce. "The only time I was ever in love was my first husband. I look back now and think 'god we were so young, was it puppy love?'" she told the dating experts. "Brian was my the only love of my life and it went downhill from there. When Brian left me I didn't want to be rich and famous I wanted to belong." Despite years of friction, Brian says he and Kerry have found peace. After more than 20 years, they now have a better understanding, united through co-parenting their daughters. His second marriage to Vogue Williams also ended in divorce, though the pair have both moved on and are now in happy relationships. Brian has since found lasting happiness with Danielle, whom he began dating in 2016. Meanwhile Vogue is happily married to Spencer Matthews and the couple share three children together. Earlier this year, Vogue opened up about her ill-fated marriage to Brian, admitting she had doubts on their wedding day in 2012. The couple, who met in a Dublin nightclub and got engaged in early 2012, celebrated their nuptials in Florence, Italy, but the marriage unravelled within three years, leading to their divorce in 2017. In her tell-all autobiography 'Big Mouth', Vogue confessed that Brian wasn't "marriage material" despite being "good fun to be around" most of the time. She wrote: "The morning of the wedding I felt very stressed and so anxious because deep down I knew I had made a mistake. After the wedding I tried to make things work." Vogue also reflected on the brighter moments of their relationship, saying: "The relationship wasn't all terrible, we did have some great times too, and for the most part he was good fun to be around. But he was not husband material." "It was me who called it in the end. I couldn't keep trying, it felt pointless... I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus but there are things that went on in our relationship that will never be forgiven." Further sharing her experiences on The Life of Bryony podcast with Bryony Gordon, Vogue confided that she felt like her "life was over" when her divorce from Brian was finalised. She divulged her past concerns, saying: "I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do." Sharing her positivity about growing older, she added: "Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that's why it feels exciting to move into your forties." Brian has found love again with Danielle, but their relationship hasn't been without struggle however. The couple faced two devastating miscarriages before turning to IVF. In 2021, they welcomed their daughter Ruby - a joyful moment after years of heartbreak. 'Molly and Lilly are women now, I speak to them all the time. They love Ruby!' Brian said. 'And Dani is an unbelievable mum. We're great team mates.' When asked about the possibility of another baby, Brian responded with honesty: 'We'd like another baby, but we'll see. I'm not really bothered about having a boy. After everything we've went through with the miscarriages, I'd never wish for anything. Just that it's a healthy baby, that's it. For the baby to be OK. So if we have a boy, great, but I love my three girls!' Now married and preparing for a new leg of his music career with Boyzlife's upcoming tour, Brian says he's in a good place - focused on his family, future, and the wisdom gained from his past.

Jane Austen fans dress up in Steventon to celebrate 250 years since author's birth
ITV reporter Derek Johnson spoke to Austen fans who'd travelled to Hampshire from across the world. People from all over the world have converged on the village of Steventon to celebrate the life of author Jane Austen. The Pride and Prejudice author was born and grew up in this picturesque part of Hampshire, later returning to live in nearby Chawton. Today saw a Regency-style country fair marking the 250th anniversary of her birth. Austen was born at Stevenage rectory in 1775. Her father, and later her brother, were rectors at 13th Century church of St Nicholas. And proceeds from the day will go towards renovations at the church. Although the rectory no longer remains, the fair was held on the exact location, and featured performances by the Hampshire Regency Dancers, Garston Gallopers and local schoolchildren. Many of those attending dressed in Regency-style clothes, some travelling from as far afield as the United States and Australia. Village residents were involved in planning and organising the event, from baking cakes, making costumes and providing a horse and trap, in which 'Jane' arrived to get the fair started. The event was part of a year of celebrations in mid Hampshire, which will conclude with a special service at the church on 16th December, Austen's actual birthday.
