Brian McFadden has married fiancée Danielle Parkinson in a beachside ceremony in Cornwall, marking his third marriage. The former Westlife star, now 45, shared images on Instagram of the couple with their daughter Ruby Jean, dressed in matching white outfits.
Before the wedding, McFadden spoke candidly about lessons from his two previous marriages, to Kerry Katona and Vogue Williams. He told Closer magazine: 'You live and learn, you go through life living and learning. Getting married is a great thing, but if the marriage isn't working there's nothing wrong in walking away from each other.'
McFadden first married Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona in 2002 when he was 22. The couple had two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but the marriage ended in 2004. McFadden later admitted to being unfaithful on his stag night and said the marriage was not 'real,' describing it as 'a big party' to 'appear showbiz.'
Katona has previously said she couldn't make McFadden love her 'enough' to keep the family together. Speaking last year, she said: 'You can't force somebody to love you if someone falls out of love with you... Brian didn't want to be with me.' She also said the 'trust had just gone' after his infidelity.
McFadden told the Independent in 2007 that early in the relationship he hadn't thought about a long-term future with Katona. He said life 'ran away' with him, and he realised: 'This is not what I want to do with my life, I don't see myself being with this woman in 20 years.'
