Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has made a surprising U-turn on her family plans, announcing that she won't be having any more children despite previously expressing hopes for another baby.
The 45-year-old celebrity, who already shares five children with different partners, opened up about her emotional decision in her latest column for OK! Magazine, putting to rest months of speculation about expanding her family.
The Change of Heart
Katona revealed that while she had genuinely considered having another child with her fiancé Ryan Mahoney, she's now come to terms with the fact that her family is complete. "I'm 45 now and I've got five beautiful kids," she explained, acknowledging that adding to her brood at this stage would be challenging.
The star shares Molly, 21, and Lilly, 20, with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 16, and Max, 14, with second husband Mark Croft, and Dylan-Jorge, 9, with third husband George Kay.
Previous Baby Hopes
This announcement marks a significant shift from Katona's previous statements. Just last year, the celebrity had openly discussed her desire to have a baby with Ryan Mahoney, telling fans she was "desperate" to become a mother again and even considering IVF treatment.
In her latest revelation, Katona admitted that while she'd "love nothing more" than to have Ryan's baby, practical considerations and her age have led to this difficult decision.
Focus on the Future
Instead of expanding her family, Kerry Katona is now looking forward to enjoying her existing children and planning her wedding to Ryan Mahoney. The couple got engaged in 2020 after several years of dating.
Katona's honest confession provides fans with insight into the reality of celebrity motherhood and the difficult decisions women face regarding family planning later in life.
