In an exclusive interview with OK!, Kerry Katona and her partner Paolo Margaglione have shared the exciting news that they are not only deeply in love but also discussing marriage. The couple, who met on Celebs Go Dating just over a year ago, have been inseparable since, and the bond they share continues to grow stronger. As they look forward to a future together, Kerry and Paolo’s journey is one that defies expectations and fills hearts with joy. 🌟
At 45, Kerry has experienced her fair share of heartbreak and difficult relationships, but her romance with 34-year-old Paolo has been a true revelation. Despite their initial doubts about finding love on a reality dating show, the couple’s chemistry was undeniable from the start, and it didn’t take long for them to realise they were meant to be together.
A Marriage Proposal in the Making 💍
Ten months into their whirlwind romance, Kerry and Paolo are now openly discussing the possibility of marriage. Kerry, full of excitement, shared, “We will 100% get married.” However, they are in no rush. “I’m not just doing it for the sake of doing it,” Paolo added. “We’re trying to build something really special together, so I want it to be the right moment.”
The couple, who have faced their own challenges along the way, have become even more serious about their future. Despite not rushing to the altar, the thought of marriage has definitely crossed their minds. In fact, Kerry even made a rather surprising comment while recovering from a hospital visit. After being diagnosed with colitis, Kerry jokingly asked Paolo, while on gas and air and morphine, “What would you do if I proposed to you?”
Paolo, initially taken aback, replied, “Are you on morphine?” But despite the humorous exchange, the idea of marriage remains on the table for the couple, who are clearly very much in love. 💖
A Valentine’s Day to Remember 🌹
Though Kerry and Paolo’s Valentine’s Day didn’t go as planned—thanks to an unexpected work emergency that saw Paolo leave just 14 hours into their romantic getaway in Dubai—the couple still remains positive. “We were both gutted,” Kerry confessed. “But Valentine’s is just one day in a year, and we can celebrate our love for one another every other day.” They remain determined to make each day special together, regardless of external circumstances.
Their time together has been filled with joyful memories, and they are committed to celebrating their love in meaningful ways, as they continue to strengthen their bond with each passing day. 🌅
Defying the Odds 💪
When Kerry and Paolo first met on Celebs Go Dating, Kerry was in a place where she couldn’t imagine living with a man again. But the chemistry between the two was undeniable, and their blossoming romance quickly turned into something much more meaningful. “I was in a really good headspace, and I couldn’t imagine living with a man again,” Kerry confessed. But after their first date, it became clear that they were something special. The pair’s relationship continued to grow stronger off-camera, with their first kiss on TV being a huge moment for both of them.
Their chemistry was palpable, and by the time the show’s finale aired, they had already expressed their love for each other, even though Kerry refused to make a public declaration on camera. “I said, ‘Listen, you guys have taught me to protect my boundaries, and this is my boundary. I do love Paolo, but I’m not going to say that on camera because that’s just for me and him,’” she shared. The couple has since grown closer, with Paolo moving in with Kerry and her children shortly after the show ended.
Blending Families and Moving Forward 👨👩👧👦
As parents, Kerry and Paolo have already begun the process of blending their families. Paolo has two young daughters, Milani, 4, and Nola, 2, while Kerry has six children from previous relationships—Molly, 24, Lilly-Sue, 23, Heidi, 18, Max, 17, and 11-year-old Dylan-Jorge. The couple is committed to ensuring that their children are happy and well-adjusted in their new family dynamic.
“We’ve had to have those conversations where it’s like, ‘This isn’t fair, that’s not fair, it should be like this,’” Kerry shared. But despite the challenges of blending families, the couple is in a good place, and Kerry adds, “The kids are getting on really well.” Both families are adapting, and Kerry has gone above and beyond to make Paolo’s daughters feel at home in her house.
A Future Full of Love and Laughter 💕
Looking to the future, Kerry and Paolo are excited about the prospect of adding more children to their family, although they are cautious about timing due to Kerry’s age. “It would be lovely to have children of our own,” Paolo says, though he emphasizes that Kerry’s health is his top priority. Kerry, meanwhile, is optimistic, saying, “It could happen, nothing’s stopping it.”
The couple is also looking to make a major life change, with plans to move abroad in the near future. “We’re hoping to move somewhere hot and sunny,” Paolo said, “The idea is to potentially move away from the UK, something we both want to do.” 🌴
Kerry and Paolo’s journey is one of love, growth, and laughter, proving that even after heartbreak, true love can be found when least expected. The future is looking bright for the couple, and fans can’t wait to see what comes next in their fairytale romance. 💍
