Kerry Katona has sent shockwaves through fans after revealing she is excitedly expecting a baby with her 33-year-old boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione. 
The 45-year-old former Atomic Kitten star, who met Paolo on Celebs Go Dating earlier this summer, opened up about the emotional moment that changed her life — and says she’s never felt joy quite like this before.
“I’ve never been this happy in my entire life. I’ve got everything — and more,” Kerry said. “My hands were literally shaking as I held the ultrasound photo… he’s so excited about our baby.”
Already a proud mum of five — Molly (24) and Lilly-Sue (22) with first husband Brian McFadden; Heidi (18) and Max (17) with second husband Mark Croft; and daughter DJ (11) with her late husband George Kay — Kerry admits she didn’t expect to be adding another little one to the mix, but “life had a beautiful surprise waiting.”
A close friend told OK! magazine:
“Kerry feels this might be her last chance to have another baby, and she’s over the moon. Paolo’s just as thrilled — they both see this as the start of an incredible new chapter together.”
Kerry and Paolo’s romance blossomed quickly after meeting on Celebs Go Dating, where viewers noticed an instant spark between them. Despite criticism over their 12-year age gap, Kerry stood her ground, defending her relationship fiercely.
“When people see us together, they understand — it’s real love, not about fame or attention,” she said during an Instagram Q&A.
Paolo, already a father of two, has welcomed Kerry into his family with open arms. “The house feels alive again,” Kerry gushed. “There’s laughter, warmth, and love everywhere. I feel like I’ve finally found peace.”
And the chemistry? Kerry admits it’s “unbelievable.” Speaking to The Sun, she laughed:
“It’s honestly incredible. Whether it lasts forever or not, I can’t deny what I feel. My hands still shake — that’s how much he excites me.”
After ending her four-year engagement with Ryan Mahoney last November, Kerry believed her heart had closed for good. But Paolo changed everything.
Now, as she prepares to welcome her miracle baby, Kerry says she’s “living the happiest chapter of her entire life.”
