GREAT NEWS TODAY: At 45, the Atomic Kitten star has just announced her engagement to 33-year-old “soulmate” Paolo Margaglione — Leaving Fans Excited!
It’s the comeback love story no one saw coming — and it’s melting hearts everywhere.
At 45, Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has announced her engagement to 33-year-old Paolo Margaglione, the man she calls her “soulmate” and “the love that healed me.”
The pair, who first met earlier this year while filming Celebs Go Dating, made their first red-carpet appearance as an engaged couple at The Trauma Research Charity Gala in Manchester — and they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other.Wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder white lace gown, Kerry glowed beside her handsome fiancé in a sleek black tuxedo. But it was the sparkling diamond ring on her finger — and the sheer happiness in her eyes — that stole the night.
“Yes, we’re engaged! I still can’t believe it,” Kerry told reporters, beaming.
“Paolo made me believe in love again. He loves me for who I am — not for my money, not for my fame. Just me.”
A LOVE STORY STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
Witnesses at the event said the couple were inseparable — whispering, laughing, and sharing affectionate moments as flashes went off around them.
“They were absolutely smitten,” one guest revealed. “You could see the love between them from across the room.”
Their connection was instant when they met on Celebs Go Dating earlier this year. After a painful breakup with Ryan Mahoney, Kerry had promised herself she’d given up on love — until Paolo appeared.
“He’s my soulmate,” Kerry said softly. “He’s shown me what loyalty, laughter, and true love really mean. I’ve never felt this kind of peace before.”
FAMILY FIRST — AND FULL OF LOVE
Paolo, a devoted father of two, has already welcomed Kerry into his world — and she says their blended family has transformed her home into a place full of laughter and warmth.
“It’s brought the house back to life,” Kerry shared. “His kids, his energy, his love — they’ve all brought out the best in me. I finally feel like we’re a family.”
Paolo echoed her words with heartfelt simplicity:
“Kerry’s not just my partner — she’s my peace.”
IGNORING THE CRITICS — CHOOSING HAPPINESS
As with many celebrity romances, critics have had their say — questioning the couple’s 12-year age gap and Paolo’s intentions. But Kerry is unbothered.
“People can say what they like,” she told fans confidently. “I know real love when I see it. Paolo’s not here for fame — he’s here for me.”
Then, with her signature cheeky grin, 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 & FOREVER DREAMS
Insiders close to the couple say wedding plans are already being discussed — with Kerry dreaming of an intimate ceremony surrounded by family, close friends, and plenty of laughter.
“I’m not rushing,” Kerry confessed through happy tears. “But I know he’s the one. For the first time in my life, I’m not afraid to love again. Happiness isn’t something you chase — it’s something you choose.”
With a heart full of hope, a sparkling diamond on her finger, and her true soulmate by her side, Kerry Katona is proving to the world that love doesn’t fade with age — it only gets stronger.
“He truly loves me — not my fame, not my money, just me.”
