Kerry Katona has been through the unimaginable. The Atomic Kitten star, 45, opens up in an emotional new podcast interview, revealing the painful truth about the two devastating miscarriages she suffered with her boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione. Her heartbreaking journey is one that will resonate with anyone who’s ever longed for motherhood.
In a raw and intimate conversation on Paul C Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, Kerry lays bare the emotional toll of her loss. It’s not just a tale of heartbreak, but one of unspoken hope, dreams shattered, and the yearning for something that was never meant to be.
The Shocking Revelation
Kerry and Paolo’s whirlwind romance began when they met on the set of Celebs Go Dating last year. By June 2025, they were publicly a couple, and just two months later, they moved in together. But it wasn’t all love and sunshine. The couple’s bond would be tested in the most unimaginable way.
Kerry revealed that, at the time of the Celebs Go Dating finale, she was unknowingly pregnant. Paolo shared how he first sensed it: “I could smell it on her,” he said, adding that he knew something was different. “You’re pregnant,” he told her. The couple took a pregnancy test that night, only to have it come up negative. Yet, Kerry, with her gut feeling, took another test the next morning. To their shock, it confirmed what they had suspected.
But what came next was far from the joyous moment they had hoped for.
A Heartbreaking Loss and the Pain of Letting Go
Kerry, with tears in her eyes, described the moment she realised she had lost her pregnancy. “I ran and woke him up,” she recalled, her voice breaking. “Seven years, I never fell pregnant… the thought of having an abortion killed me. It felt like it was made from love…” The emotional weight of that moment weighed heavily on her.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of their heartbreak. Kerry and Paolo tried again, only for her to suffer another miscarriage, this time at just four weeks. “I didn’t realise how much I wanted it then,” Kerry admitted, her voice filled with regret and sorrow. The loss wasn’t just physical—it was deeply emotional. And it left Kerry questioning everything she thought she knew about herself, her body, and her dreams of motherhood.
The Past Pain That Still Haunts Her
Kerry has long been open about her personal struggles, but this latest revelation is one that cuts even deeper. In her memoir Kerry Katona: Whole Again, Kerry opened up about another miscarriage she suffered years earlier, in 2015. After a brief relationship following the tragic death of her ex-husband, George Kay, Kerry found herself pregnant once more, only to lose the baby. She had to undergo surgery to remove the fetus, a traumatic experience that still haunts her to this day.
A Family, Built on Love and Loss
Despite the heartbreak she’s endured, Kerry remains a devoted mother to her five children—Molly, 23, Lilly-Sue, 22 (with Brian McFadden), Heidi, 18, and Max, 17 (with Mark Croft), and Dylan-Jorge, 10 (with George Kay). Kerry’s journey hasn’t been easy, but her love for her children remains unwavering.
Her boyfriend, Paolo, who has two daughters from a previous relationship, Milani and Nola, has been by her side through it all, offering support, love, and compassion.
A Future Full of Hope and Healing
Though Kerry’s story is one of heartache, it’s also a story of resilience, strength, and the unwavering love she shares with Paolo. They’ve weathered the storm together and are now focused on healing, building a life full of love, hope, and the possibility of a future family.
Kerry’s openness about her miscarriages is a reminder of the strength it takes to share painful truths with the world. It’s a message of hope for all those who’ve faced similar struggles, showing that even in the darkest of times, love and support can light the way.
For Kerry, the journey is far from over. But with Paolo by her side, she’s determined to keep moving forward, cherishing the love and life she has, while never losing sight of the dreams she holds dear. Her story is one of heartbreak, healing, and the endless pursuit of happiness.
