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.

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. 6 Brian and PE teacher Danielle said I Do in a lavish ceremony Credit: instagram 6 Kerry, 44, told of her admiration for her daughters' step parent Credit: instagram

90s boyband star marries for third time in Cornish beach ceremony
Former Westlife star Brian McFadden has married for the third time, tying the knot with long-term partner Danielle Parkinson in a romantic beachside ceremony in Cornwall. The 44-year-old Irish pop singer, who rose to fame in the late 1990s as 1/5 of one of Ireland's biggest boybands, said 'I do' to Danielle in front of close friends and family in a picture-perfect coastal celebration. Brian and Danielle, who share three-year-old daughter Ruby, kept the ceremony intimate and relaxed, exchanging vows barefoot on the sand with the sea as their backdrop. Friends described the natural, laid-back setting as 'perfectly them.' Danielle, a PE teacher from Manchester, looked radiant in a simple, elegant gown with her hair styled in soft waves. Brian opted for relaxed beachwear with a formal twist rather than a traditional tux. While the beach celebration in Cornwall was their most public celebration, it followed a legal wedding held earlier in Ireland, closer to Brian's roots in Dublin. The pair reportedly wanted a second ceremony to mark the occasion with their loved ones in a place they often holiday as a family. After announcing their marriage, friends and fans were quick to congratulate them, with Towie's Gemma Collins commenting: 'Congratulations!' Fellow Irish pop duo Jedward also said: 'The vibes are perfection', while former bandmate Ronan Keating's wife, Storm, added: 'Congratulations guys!' This marks Brian's third marriage, as he was previously married to Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, with whom he shares two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue. Their relationship was all over the media in the Noughties but ended in divorce in 2004. Kerry has said nothing but lovely things about her ex-husband's new beau, sharing that she 'gets on really well' with Danielle: 'I think I might have a girl crush on her. I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she's the best stepmum. 'On Mother's Day, I sent her a message. I went, 'Happy Mother's Day, Danielle.' I think she's lovely, and they've got a beautiful little girl, Ruby.' 'I wish them nothing but joy and happiness,' she added on the podcast Meeting… Kerry Katona. Brian married Irish model and presenter Vogue Williams in 2012, but the pair split three years later. Vogue went on to marry Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews, with whom she shares three kids. Brian's relationship with Danielle has been notably more private than his last. They started dating in 2016, having met through mutual friends, and have largely stayed out of the spotlight. However, the newlyweds share occasional glimpses of their life together on social media. Alas, their relationship hasn't all been rainbows and roses, as they had a difficult journey to parenthood, with Danielle suffering two miscarriages. Brian and Danielle were open about their struggles with fertility and went through IVF before welcoming Ruby in 2021. At the time, Brian described the moment as 'life-changing' and praised Danielle's strength. Now, with a new chapter officially underway, the couple appear more in love than ever. While Brian is best known for his time in Westlife—with global hits like Flying Without Wings, Swear It Again, and World of Our Own—his post-boyband life has taken many forms. After leaving the group in 2004 to pursue a solo career, he dabbled in TV presenting, reality shows, and musical theatre. More Trending In recent years, he's taken a step back to focus on family and live performances. Despite the fame and the public breakups of the past, Brian has credited Danielle with bringing balance to his life. In interviews, he's called her his 'rock' and described her as the most supportive partner he's ever had. Danielle, meanwhile, is a former heptathlete who has built a career in education and fitness.
