Kerry Katona poses with fiancé wearing ‘wedding ring’ after couple revealed plans to elope and get married
KERRY Katona has sent the rumour mill into overdrive after sharing a snap of her fiancé Ryan Maloney wearing a ‘wedding ring’.
The former Atomic Kitten star cosied up next to Ryan during a romantic date night and his jewellery was clear to spot.
With his hand resting on his thigh, fitness trainer Ryan appeared to be sporting a simple shiny band on his wedding finger.
Kerry, 43, captioned the Instagram shot: “Another date night with my man @ryanmahoney_7.
“Honestly we’ve had our ups and downs but i wouldn’t want to be any without his man @ryanmahoney_7, I love you!!”
She concluded: “I know it’s it’s soppy but I do.”
The picture comes after Kerry previously admitted she planned to elope with Ryan to Las Vegas.
The couple wanted to run away to Sin City and get married after getting engaged four years ago.
However, last month Kerry confirmed they had scrapped the idea.
The couple decided to pull the plug following objections from Kerry’s eldest daughters Molly, 22, and 21-year-old Lilly-Sue.
Although the girls now live in Ireland, they were gutted by the thought of missing their mum’s wedding with Ryan.
Kerry wrote in her OK! magazine column “Ryan and I were looking to go to Vegas to finally get married but Molly and Lilly said, ‘Don’t you dare do that without us’.
“I told them they’d already been at too many of my weddings! That put those plans on the back-burner.”
Kerry has been in a relationship with Ryan since 2019 and they got engaged the following year.
The singer and OnlyFans star has already been married three times but she finally feels she has found her happy ever after.
Kerry shares her girls Molly and Lilly-Sue with her first husband Brian McFadden. She was married to the ex Westlife star from 2002 to 2006.
She then went on to tie the knot with second husband Mark Croft.
They were married from 2007 to 2011 and they have two children together, Heidi, 17, and 15-year-old Max.
Kerry also has a daughter from her third marriage to the late George Kay – their 10-year-old Dylan Jorge, aka DJ.
Kerry Katona's cosmetic surgery timeline
Here we look at the star's changing face - from fresh-faced pop singer to the latest £3,000 tweakment.
Kerry first went under the knife in 2004 for a boob job, and again in 2008 for another breast enhancement and liposuction.
In 2010 she also revealed she had tried to turn back time with some facial tweaks.
Kerry was bitten by the vampire facial bug in 2013, and feared she would die after a shocking reaction to the procedure, popularised by Kim Kardashian.
In 2019 Kerry sparked outrage by endorsing a ‘Katona Package’ at a London clinic offering “2ml face filler and one area fat dissolving” for £699.
When the mum-of-five approached her 40th, she celebrated with fillers and fat-dissolving injections in her chin to “enhance my natural beauty”.
Two years later Kerry joked she’d got a “brand new face” after a procedure called CoolSculpting, which freezes fat cells under the skin and destroys them. She had some fat removed from her chin and Botox injections.
In 2023, the TV star revealed a tighter jawline after treating herself to a “non-invasive facelift”.
In early 20224, Kerry had much more invasive eye lift and brow lift in January, at a cost of over £3,000.
The mum-of-five divorced George in 2017, three years after they’d got married. Two years later, George died from a drug overdose at a Holiday Inn.
Last week, Kerry spoke candidly about her love life and admitted that George was the ‘love of her life’, despite him abusing her during their marriage.
Speaking to Abbey Clancy for her Exhibit A podcast, she confessed to suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. The condition sees victims empathising with their abuser.
She said: “When I met George he was just out for kidnapping and torture and I thought, ‘Oh, I will have a bit of you’.
“I would say George was probably the love of my life not Brian. But I don’t know if that was because he was so controlling.
“You get so manipulated, what is it? Stockholm Syndrome? You get so manipulated that they pull you in.
“When I got a good hiding, I would apologise, I would be on my hands and knees saying ‘I’m so sorry’.”
Kerry has credited Ryan for being a great role model to her children.
