Brian McFadden’s doomed marriage to Kerry Katona as he marries for third time

Brian McFadden has married fiancée Danielle Parkinson in a stunning ceremony in Cornwall, marking a new chapter in his life and his third walk down the aisle.

The former Westlife star, now 45, tied the knot in a stunning beachside ceremony and has given fans a glimpse into their special day. The Irish singer took to Instagram to share a carousel of images with his new wife, along with their daughter, Ruby Jean.

The newlyweds were seen grinning from ear to ear as they posed in beautiful matching white outfits. They said ‘I do’ in a stunning beach ceremony and fans were quick to send sweet wishes to the happy couple.

Before tying the knot with Danielle, Brian recently opened up about his journey through love, marriage, fatherhood, and how his perspective has changed over the years. Speaking ahead of the big day, Brian spoke candidly about lessons learned from his two previous marriages, to Kerry Katona and Vogue Williams.

“You live and learn, you go through life living and learning,” he told Closer. “Getting married is a great thing, but if the marriage isn’t working there’s nothing wrong in walking away from each other. ”

Brian first got married at 22, to Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. The couple had a whirlwind romance and went on to have two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue. However, the relationship didn’t last, crumbling under the pressure of fame and personal issues. Brian later admitted to being unfaithful to Kerry during his stag night – a regretful chapter he’s since acknowledged publicly.

Kerry has previously shared that she couldn’t make her ex-husband Brian love her ‘enough’ to stay together when they were married. The former couple began dating in 1999 and then tied the knot in 2002.

The marriage however ended in just two years later in 2004 and Kerry has previously spoken about separating from former Westlife member Brian over the years.

The former Atomic Kitten singer shared her sad confession as she said: “I remember feeling shattered when my first marriage broke down and I was left with two baby daughters. It’s one thing being heartbroken by the loss of a relationship, but add to that the guilt of being a mum and it’s so hard. “

“I’ll never forget the sadness of feeling like I couldn’t make Brian love me enough to keep our family together. ” Kerry went on to share in the magazine column at the time that it took her a “long time” to “get over that”.

More recently, Kerry said that she doesn’t “blame” Brian for the end of the relationship. Speaking on Slingo’s Getting Lippy Gossip Show last year, as previously reported, she said: “You can’t force somebody to love you if someone falls out of love with you. It took me a long time to get over this but if somebody doesn’t want to be with you can’t force them to stay with you and Brian didn’t want to be with me.”

Brian told the Independent in 2007 that early on in the relationship he hadn’t thought about whether he wanted a long-term future with Kerry.

He said that life “ran away” with him, saying: “So then, when we had the first baby, bought a house, spent time together and Westlife became the same thing over and over, I woke up one morning and realised, ‘This is not what I want to do with my life, I don’t see myself being with this woman in 20 years, she’s not who I’m meant to be with, we don’t have anything in common’. “

He later described their marriage as having not been “real,” saying it was for “a big party” and to “get loads of money for it” and to “appear showbiz”.

He suggested that it ended on the stag night, when he cheated with a lap dancer, ahead of the wedding. He once said that it was then that he thought “this is not supposed to be”. As previously reported, Kerry admitted on the Getting Lippy Gossip Show that she believes the “trust had just gone” after he cheated.

Appearing on Celebs Go Dating, Kerry broke down in tears as she said Brian was the only man she’d ever loved. Kerry sobbed as she recalled her dating history and admitted it’s gone “downhill” since her first divorce.

“The only time I was ever in love was my first husband. I look back now and think ‘god we were so young, was it puppy love? ‘” she told the dating experts. “Brian was my the only love of my life and it went downhill from there. When Brian left me I didn’t want to be rich and famous I wanted to belong. “

Despite years of friction, Brian says he and Kerry have found peace. After more than 20 years, they now have a better understanding, united through co-parenting their daughters.

His second marriage to Vogue Williams also ended in divorce, though the pair have both moved on and are now in happy relationships. Brian has since found lasting happiness with Danielle, whom he began dating in 2016. Meanwhile Vogue is happily married to Spencer Matthews and the couple share three children together.

Earlier this year, Vogue opened up about her ill-fated marriage to Brian, admitting she had doubts on their wedding day in 2012. The couple, who met in a Dublin nightclub and got engaged in early 2012, celebrated their nuptials in Florence, Italy, but the marriage unravelled within three years, leading to their divorce in 2017.

In her tell-all autobiography ‘Big Mouth’, Vogue confessed that Brian wasn’t “marriage material” despite being “good fun to be around” most of the time. She wrote: “The morning of the wedding I felt very stressed and so anxious because deep down I knew I had made a mistake. After the wedding I tried to make things work. “

Vogue also reflected on the brighter moments of their relationship, saying: “The relationship wasn’t all terrible, we did have some great times too, and for the most part he was good fun to be around. But he was not husband material. “

“It was me who called it in the end. I couldn’t keep trying, it felt pointless… I’m not here to throw anyone under the bus but there are things that went on in our relationship that will never be forgiven. “

Further sharing her experiences on The Life of Bryony podcast with Bryony Gordon, Vogue confided that she felt like her “life was over” when her divorce from Brian was finalised.

She divulged her past concerns, saying: “I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I’ve ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do. “

Sharing her positivity about growing older, she added: “Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that’s why it feels exciting to move into your forties. “

Brian has found love again with Danielle, but their relationship hasn’t been without struggle however. The couple faced two devastating miscarriages before turning to IVF. In 2021, they welcomed their daughter Ruby – a joyful moment after years of heartbreak.

“Molly and Lilly are women now, I speak to them all the time. They love Ruby! ” Brian said. “And Dani is an unbelievable mum. We’re great team mates. ”

When asked about the possibility of another baby, Brian responded with honesty: “We’d like another baby, but we’ll see. I’m not really bothered about having a boy. After everything we’ve went through with the miscarriages, I’d never wish for anything. Just that it’s a healthy baby, that’s it. For the baby to be OK. So if we have a boy, great, but I love my three girls! ”

Kelly Osbourne gets engaged in front of dad Ozzy at last ever Black Sabbath gig

Kelly Osbourne has got engaged to partner Sid Wilson after Ozzy Osbourne’s final gig with Black Sabbath.

On Saturday, Ozzy officially ended his Prince of Darkness reign as he appeared on stage for one final time. The rock icon, 76, joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.

After the incredible show, the Osbourne family were treated to a beautiful surprise as Kelly’s longtime partner Sid proposed in front of her parents Ozzy and Sharon. Taking to Instagram to share the joyful news, Kelly, 40, posted the sweet video of Sid’s proposal as he asked to spend the rest of his life with the former reality TV star.

Alongside the video, Kelly wrote: “Oh, and this happened yesterday. ” In the heartwarming clip, Sharon is heard saying: “We’ve got to be quiet, hold on,” as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly’s now fiancé is then heard saying: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world. “

However, Sid’s romantic proposal was swiftly interrupted by a playful Ozzy who shouted: “F*** off! You’re not marrying my daughter. ” Clearly familiar with Ozzy’s banter, Sid laughs and continues asking Kelly the all-important question.

He continues: “Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me? “. Kelly then turns around with a look of shock on her face before holding her hands up to her face and nodding ‘yes’.

The video then sees Sid showing the dazzling ring to Ozzy before one of Kelly’s friends yells ‘about time’ as they joked about Sid not proposing sooner. Kelly and Sid then shared a long embrace before sharing a kiss while their loved ones cheered them on in the background.

Kelly and her fiance go way back and only began dating after knowing each other for over 20 years. In 2022, as Kelly confirmed their romance, a source close to the star revealed: “Kelly and Sid met when his band was touring with Ozzfest [the music festival created by Kelly’s parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne] in 1999. They have remained friends since. They are very happy together. “

The couple also share a son named Sidney, who they welcomed into the world in.

2022 Kelly has been engaged two times previously. She was due to marry to model Luke Worrell after he popped the question in 2009, but their relationship ended the following year. Her second engagement was to chef Matthew Mosshart in July 2013, though they parted ways by January of the next year.

The romantic proposal comes after Kelly shared her support for her dad Ozzy as she arrived in Birmingham for his final live show on Saturday night.

Ozzy sent fans into a frenzy as he joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.

The music icon reunited with all his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Lommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005. Taking to the stage, Ozzy appeared overwhelmed by the support from the cheering crowds.

Fans travelled across the world to be there to watch the final performance and among the crowd was his daughter Kelly who was dressed in a leopard print dress, with her hair styled in big bouncy waves.

Sharing an update to her Instagram Story, Kelly shared a selfie in the car with a friend with the caption: “On our way back to the beginning”. She later posted another picture with singer YungBlud, who stopped off to watch Black Sabbath before headlining his own show in Belgium later that night.

Kelly Osbourne has paid a heartfelt tribute to Black Sabbath fans after her dad’s epic gig last night. Prince of Darkness star, Ozzy Osbourne, 76, took to the stage for the Back to the Beginning festival in Birmingham for his last ever performance.

Kelly, who watched the sold-out show at Vila Park show from the stage, thanked everyone for coming to the gig, as she fought back tears, saying: “You don’t know what you’ve done for my dad.” Taking to Instagram today, with the stage now packed away and Ozzy back at home with wife, Sharon, she said: “Hello everyone. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you to everybody who came to the show last night. Thank you to everybody who was involved in the show. You have no idea what it did for my dad. It was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life.

Becoming emotional, Kelly signed off, saying: “If I keep talking, I’m probably going to end up crying again, so that’s all I’ll say for now, thank you. “

It was labelled Back to the Beginning, but it was most certainly the end of an era for Ozzy and Black Sabbath last night.

As the curtain came down on an industry defining career, a full day of metal with the biggest names in the genre a stone’s throw from the star’s childhood home was a fitting way to call it quits.

Fans arrived for the gig from all over the world, including Brazil, Estonia and USA to name a few.

While Ozzy may not have had the energy of his younger years – his frail body confined to his bat-adorned chair – he still put on an incredible show for the crowd, many of whom were in tears over his last ever performance.

He regularly thanked fans, with the sincerity touching. But he still showed the spunk which made him famous with his expletive urges for the crowd to make more noise.

Ozzy made sure his send-off was as epic as it could be as he left to fireworks and a massive cheer from his emotional fans.

It marked a very rare appearance for the legendary Brummy, who first retired from live singing in 2023 because of his numerous surgeries and his Parkinson’s Disease.

His Back To The Beginning super show included sets from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Tool, Gojira, Anthrax, Lamb Of God, Halestorm, Mastodon and Rival Sons.

And an all-star super-group also played, with The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, Megadeth’s David Ellefson, and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst taking to the stage.

Video messages from celebrities made clear the impact both Osbourne and Black Sabbath have had on the music industry. Dozens of fans also sent in personal videos that were broadcast at the event, crediting the Brummy band for inventing heavy metal and thanking them for their generational influence on music.

In one of the messages before his performance, Sir Elton John told Ozzy: “You are one of the most remarkable singers of our time. You are the king, you are the legend. You’ve been through so much crap in the last few years – I hope this is the best day of your life so far. ”

Alexa Chung raising money for charity ‘close to my womb’ by selling clothes on Vinted

English model and TV presenter, Alexa Chung has confirmed she will be selling her clothes on Vinted, telling fans on TikTok proceeds will be going to a cause “very close to my womb”.

The 41-year-old revealed earlier this year that she had underwent surgery for endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, which can potentially lead to infertility and other complications.

Alexa was diagnosed with the condition in July 2020, calling her experience in getting treatment “frustrating” while services were “under-funded”.

In April 2025, the Popworld presenter confirmed her first Vinted sale drop, in which she flogged items from her own wardrobe in order to raise money for Endometriosis UK, prompting millennial hysteria.

She has since taken part in other drops, with the latest confirmed in the video she shared to TikTok on Wednesday (July 2). “I’ll be selling things such as these glorious boots,” Alexa told viewers in front of a backdrop featuring the piar of black, leather Prada boots.

“I literally love them, they’ve served me very well but they’ve gotta go. Because, the proceeds go to Endometriosis UK, which is, of course, very close to my womb, I guess.

“There’s load of other amazing things in there [the drop], they’ve got a Dior bag – a really nice, 90s red sequence dress. And I want to say thank you so much if you bought things last time. “

More than 1. 5million people in the UK live with the condition, roughly one in 10 women. Since her diagnosis, Alexa has continued to campaign and raise awareness for Endometriosis UK.

Speaking earlier this year, Alexa told The Telegraph how she had underwent a laparoscopy, where the pelvis is accessed through small incisions, to cut out the affected tissue to try and aid her symptoms.

“A number of years ago, I had a laparoscopy to help cure it,” She explained. “They don’t really know how to cure endometriosis but they do like cutting it out of people quite a lot, just on the off chance that it might work.

“I do come up against this wall, where no matter how helpful or amazing the doctors I’ve seen have been, you reach a point in the cul-de-sac of information where you realise there’s a definitive end to the amount of treatment they can give you. I find it super frustrating. It’s part of a canon of women’s health issues that are desperately under-researched,” she added.

“I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever,” he explained.

In March, Monica and Andrew attended the Oscars but arrived at different times. Fans speculated about their relationship as they noticed they walked the red carpet at the same time.

A month later, the duo were spotted on a holiday in Kyoto, with a fan sharing video footage of the two holding hands as they strolled around the city.

Andrew was last linked to spiritual advisor Dr Kate Thomas, who confirmed their split in October last year.

She said: “I love to host at my place and have everyone over for a Sunday morning, wear your PJs and just come, hang out and watch whatever, sports game or chat, catch up… .

“Luckily, after abandoning my friends so much and leaving town, they’re still willing to come over and hang out. “
