Kerry Katona Ends Engagement with Ryan Mahoney

Kerry Katona, the former Atomic Kitten star, has reportedly ended her engagement to fitness trainer Ryan Mahoney after a rocky six-year relationship. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, was set to exchange vows in Las Vegas, but they abruptly called off the wedding plans just before the big day.

At 44 years old, Kerry has been candid about the disputes that plagued their relationship, famously stating that they fought 'like cat and dog.' In a revealing admission, she even granted Ryan a 'free pass' to have a child with another woman, expressing her uncertainty about marriage and her fears about it, given her turbulent history with prior relationships.

Kerry is the mother of five children: Lilly, Holly, Heidi, Max, and DJ. Recently, she confirmed the split during an interaction with fans, alluding to her personal difficulties while visiting her ill mother in the hospital. After sharing her concerns about her mother’s health, one fan jokingly asked if the doctor was single, to which Kerry humorously replied, 'No, but I am!'

Throughout the past few months, Kerry has faced significant emotional challenges. She candidly discussed her struggles with her mental health, triggered by disturbing news related to Liam Payne, reminiscent of her late husband George Kay's passing in 2019. She disclosed feelings of loneliness and worry exacerbated by her strained relationship with Ryan and her mother's declining health.

Kerry's apprehension about marrying Ryan stems from her past experiences. Her first marriage to Westlife's Brian McFadden ended in divorce after four years, followed by a tumultuous relationship with taxi driver Mark Croft, with whom she shares two children but ultimately ended in a split. Kerry later wed George Kay, who tragically died, leaving her once again grappling with the loss of love.

Notably, the couple's relationship faced additional strain due in part to Kerry's successful OnlyFans account. While her adult content has significantly boosted her finances after struggles with debt, it has created friction with Ryan, who reportedly expressed discomfort with her racy posts.

Their relationship further deteriorated when Kerry felt unsupported by Ryan during her recovery from cosmetic surgery. Kerry expressed her frustration upon returning home to a messy house and feeling let down by Ryan and her children at a time when she needed their support the most.

As Kerry moves forward, she remains open about her feelings and the challenges she faces as a single mother. The end of her engagement marks a new chapter for the star, who is often praised for her resilience and honesty. Fans will undoubtedly be watching as she navigates life post-split, with a heavy focus on her children and her own mental well-being.
