Kerry Katona has been served divorce papers by her estranged husband George Kay, three years after their wedding. The couple, who married in 2014, share a three-year-old daughter, Dylan-Jorge. Their marriage broke down during the summer, marking Kerry's third failed marriage.
George's representative issued a statement to the Mirror, saying: 'George Kay has served a divorce petition upon Kerry Katona to end their six year relationship. His absolute priority is the well-being of their three-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge and his step-children Heidi and Max. Happily all the children are spending time with George during this difficult period.'
The statement added: 'George is conscious of Kerry’s media profile and understands that there may be wider interest in this latest sad development. He is also aware that much of the couple’s marriage and its subsequent breakdown has been carried out in the public sphere – but wishes to draw a line under that today, particularly in the interests of all the children... He sincerely hopes that this difficult process will be concluded solely through legal channels and in as dignified a manner as possible.'
In July, Kerry tearfully told the Sunday People she lived in 'constant fear' of George and that her children had begged her to leave him. She said: 'I feel like the worst mother in the world and I will never forgive myself.' George hit back, alleging Kerry was physically violent towards him and called her an 'alcoholic'. Kerry refuted these claims through her representative.
The Atomic Kitten singer, previously married to Brian McFadden and Mark Croft, admitted she 'falls hard' in love. Following the split, she dated Scottish comedian James English, but the relationship is believed to have ended.
