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.

BREAKING NEWS Moment Tomorrowland stage goes up in flames and is destroyed by inferno just days before festival is set to start
A huge blaze has engulfed the main stage at one of Europe's largest music festivals days before it was set to begin. An operation has been launched to control the inferno after it erupted on the stage at Tomorrowland in Belgium. Dramatic footage shows the moment the stage exploded into a fireball, before a gigantic plume of smoke filled the air and emergency services stormed the area. The festival had been due to begin on Friday - but it remains unclear whether organisers will be able to prepare the damage in time for opening night. Around 400,000 festival goers from across the globe are set to attend across two weekends. Around 1,000 staff members were working at the site at the time of the blaze, with the number of injuries currently unconfirmed.

Popeyes brings back viral fan favourite range after popular demand – but you have to be quick
POPEYES is bringing back its beloved Hot Honey range after it quickly became a fan favourite. The fast food restaurant revealed it sold over a quarter of a million of the 'swicy' sandwiches in just three months last year. After pulling the limited edition snacks from the menus, Popeyes social media inbox was inundated with requests for its return. In September last year, one disappointed customer took to social media and wrote: "Come back to the UK to find Popeyes stopped Hot Honey while I was away? Excuse me?" "Popeyes UK need to bring back that hot honey burger I'm so serious," another fumed. A third wrote: "Popeyes UK can you please explain why you have taken away the hot honey wings off your menu?! Do you realise this is a travesty?!?! Bring it back!!!" Well, Popeyes UK diners can breathe a sigh of relief as The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich is now back for good. Bursting with 12-hour marinated and hand-breaded Shatter Crunchin' chicken breast, the burger is drizzled in the sweet and spicy sauce. It's topped with cheddar cheese, fresh pickles and nestled in a soft brioche bun. And that's not all. The signature sandwich will be joined by the Hot Honey Saucin' Boneless, Hot Honey Saucin' Wings and Hot Honey Box Meal. The sweet and fiery hot wings are lathered in Popeyes house-developed Hot Honey sauce that packs a punch. Available in 6, 8, or 12 wings - or as part of a meal, including fries and a drink - they are a must-try for fans looking to spice up their order. Fans of the flavour can also make it a meal and get even more chicken with the Hot Honey Box Meal. Hungry customers can enjoy the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, paired with a side of two Chicken Tenders, three Hot Wings or one-piece Signature Chicken, regular fries and a regular drink for just £11.29. Dave Hoskins, Head of Food at Popeyes UK said: 'Hot Honey is by far one of our best-selling flavours, as well as a viral trend that shows no signs of letting up. "Our sweet, fiery sandwich pairs sticky honey with our signature Shatter Crunch texture for a mouthwatering experience that fans have been begging us to bring back. Inside Popeye's first UK restaurant as we try the menu – and the fried chicken is better than KFC "We couldn't ignore the unprecedented calls from customers, and got right to work creating a bigger and better range filled with an explosion of the fiery stickin' sweet flavours, to satisfy that huge demand from our fried chicken cravers.' Hot Honey has been one of the biggest food trends this year and thousands of brands have jumped on the bandwagon. Even Jaffa Cakes have their own Hot Honey edition, which created division among fans. Supermarkets have been flogging own brand bottles of the amber nectar and Dominoes even launched a pepperoni pizza slathered in the stuff. Starbucks created a Hot Honey Cortado and culinary influencers have been sharing their own recipes online. "The rise of hot honey is far from random — it's the result of a complex and trackable convergence of cultural signals, consumer needs, and culinary experimentation," Alon Chen, the CEO and cofounder of Tastewise told Food & Wine. Hot Honey is the fusion of sweet honey and spicy chillies - but it's not as new as you'd think. Elijah Morey, co-owner of Elijah's Xtreme, told the magazine: "I saw Hot Honey become a real trend about four years ago. "It's a combination of Nashville hot honey chicken sandwiches and pizza places in New York City adopting Hot Honey, especially with Mike's Hot Honey once it really took hold of the market online." Another massive food trend this year has been the rise of Dubai Chocolate. The Dubai chocolate bar is milk chocolate with a gooey filling that consists of a thin, shredded pastry called Kunafa - a Dubai dessert - mixed with pistachio cream. It's taken off worldwide, but the original was first sold by the UAE-based FIX Dessert Chocolatier in 2022. The bars are hefty in weight and can also vary in flavourings as long as it contains Kunafa. 2025's biggest food trend: Hot Honey Hot honey is heating up the UK food scene—and it's not just a passing fad. This sweet-meets-spicy condiment has become a go-to for chefs, home cooks, and food influencers alike, turning everything from pizza to ice cream into a bold flavour experience. While the idea of mixing honey with chilli isn't new (versions have existed for centuries in parts of South America and Southern Europe), the modern hot honey trend took off in the US. It was popularised by Mike Kurtz, who launched 'Mike's Hot Honey' in Brooklyn in 2010 after discovering chilli-infused honey while living in Brazil. The UK caught on a few years later, with early adopters like London-based WilderBee introducing British-made versions of the fiery syrup around 2016. Since then, hot honey has gone from street food secret to supermarket staple. Big-name retailers like M&S and Aldi now stock their own versions, and it's increasingly common to see hot honey drizzled on fried chicken burgers, roasted veg, and even brunch dishes in trendy cafés. It's a hit across all food styles—comforting, inventive, and just adventurous enough for mainstream appeal.
