Kerry Katona has left fans completely stunned after revealing the happiest news of her life — the 45-year-old Atomic Kitten star has officially confirmed her engagement to her 33-year-old boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, following a whirlwind romance that began on Celebs Go Dating earlier this year. 
The pair turned heads over the weekend as they packed on the PDA at The Trauma Research Charity Event in Manchester — where Kerry proudly flashed a dazzling diamond ring that had everyone talking. Dressed to impress and glowing with happiness, the star couldn’t stop smiling as she gushed:
“Yes, we’re engaged! I still can’t believe it. Paolo is the man who made me believe in love again — he loves me for who I am, not for my money.”
A Fairytale Reborn
Stealing the spotlight in a stunning off-the-shoulder white lace gown, Kerry looked radiant beside her new fiancé, who looked every bit the gentleman in a sleek black tuxedo and bowtie.
Witnesses at the event said the couple were inseparable — whispering, laughing, and sharing soft kisses as photographers snapped away. “They’re absolutely smitten,” one onlooker revealed.
Their chemistry was undeniable from the moment they met on Celebs Go Dating earlier this summer. After a heartbreaking split from Ryan Mahoney last year, Kerry had sworn off love — until Paolo came along.
“He’s my soulmate,” she said. “He’s shown me what loyalty, laughter, and true love really mean. I’ve never been this happy.”
A Blended Family Full of Love
Paolo, a devoted father of two, has already introduced Kerry to his children — and the singer says their blended family has filled her home with warmth and joy.
“It’s brought the house alive again,” Kerry shared. “His kids, his energy, his love — they’ve all brought out the best in me. I finally feel like our family is complete.”
Paolo echoed her words with a heartfelt touch:
“Kerry’s not just my partner — she’s my peace.”
Fighting Back Against Critics
Of course, not everyone has been kind. Some have questioned their 12-year age gap and accused Paolo of chasing fame — but Kerry refuses to let the negativity steal her joy.
“People can say what they want,” she told fans confidently. “I’ve been through enough to know when love is real. Paolo’s not here for the spotlight — he’s here for me.”
With a cheeky laugh, she added:
“I used to say you’re only as old as the man you feel — and right now, I feel 33 again!”
Wedding Bells on the Horizon?
Insiders close to the couple reveal that Kerry and Paolo are already discussing wedding plans for next year — an intimate ceremony filled with family, laughter, and music.
“I’m not rushing, but I know he’s the one,” Kerry confessed through happy tears. “For the first time, I’m not scared to love again. Happiness isn’t something you chase — it’s something you choose.”
With her sparkling ring, a heart full of hope, and her “true soulmate” by her side, Kerry Katona is proving that love can bloom again — no matter the past.
