She’s the Atomic Kitten wildchild who’s survived three turbulent marriages, bankruptcy scares, addiction battles and endless tabloid storms – but now Kerry Katona is finally daring to dream of her happy ending.

In an emotional declaration that’s got fans in floods of tears, the 45-year-old star has confessed: “THIS TIME, SHE’S NOT GUESSING — SHE DARES TO BELIEVE IN FOREVER.”

After decades of heartbreak played out in the public eye, Kerry is convinced she’s found The One in hunky new boyfriend Paolo Margaglione – and insiders say wedding bells are ringing for 2026!

‘No chaos. No rush. Just certainty,’ a close pal tells us, echoing the heartfelt caption that’s gone viral across social media.

And in a twist that’s pure showbiz magic, Kerry’s ride-or-die bestie Katie Price is planning her own walk down the aisle next year too – with the glamorous duo even floating the idea of bridesmaid duties, joint hen dos… or dare we say it, a sensational double wedding!

The unbreakable bond between these two jungle survivors – forged in the I’m A Celebrity camp back in 2004 – is stronger than ever, and they’re determined to support each other through their next chapter of love, loyalty and real hope.

‘Not fairy tales. Real women. Real scars. Real hope,’ the poignant post declares – and boy, do Kerry and Katie know about scars.

Kerry’s rollercoaster love life has been headline fodder for years. From her fairytale 2002 wedding to Westlife’s Brian McFadden (complete with horse-drawn carriage and two daughters, Molly and Lilly), to the bitter 2006 divorce amid cheating claims.

Then came taxi driver Mark Croft in 2007 – dad to Heidi and Max – but that ended in acrimony and financial ruin by 2011.

Her darkest days followed with rugby player George Kay, marrying in 2014 and welcoming DJ, only for abuse allegations, addiction horrors and George’s tragic overdose death in 2019 to shatter everything.

Fans feared Kerry would never trust love again. But in 2018, she swiped right on fitness trainer Ryan Mahoney – engagement in 2020, Vegas dreams… until the heartbreaking split in late 2024 over a ‘breach of trust’.

Kerry was devastated, admitting she felt ‘heartbroken’ at first. But by early 2025, she declared: ‘I’m feeling really good – 2025 is going to be a great year!’

Enter Paolo Margaglione – the handsome Italian personal trainer she met on Celebs Go Dating. Sparks flew instantly, and by mid-2025, they were packing on the PDA: hand-holding hotel kisses, cosy car selfies, family holidays.

Kerry gushed about their ‘blended family’ – Paolo bonding brilliantly with her five kids. ‘I’m a long-term girl,’ she insisted. ‘All or nothing.’

Now, sources say Kerry’s whispering those magic words: ‘This is the man I’ll spend my life with.’ No guessing this time – pure belief in forever.

And who’s cheering loudest? None other than Katie Price, 47, her loyal mate through thick and thin.

The pair’s friendship has weathered feuds (remember Kerry’s bridezilla fury when Katie bailed as bridesmaid in 2014?), fallouts and make-ups – but they’ve always bounced back.

This year alone, they toured the UK with their chaotic but hilarious live show An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona – Katie once turning up two hours late!

Over festive fizz, the BFFs made a secret pact: Weddings in 2026, bridesmaids for each other, maybe even godmothers if babies happen.

‘They’ve known each other since the jungle – Kerry going through hell, Katie meeting Peter,’ an insider spills. ‘They promised to be there for kids and weddings. Now it’s happening!’

Katie’s dating MAFS hunk JJ Slater, 33, since 2024 – wedding dress shopping, diamond ring hints – and she’s as ready as Kerry to settle.

‘Joint hen do? Double wedding? They’re joking… but not really!’ laughs the source. ‘These real women with real scars deserve real hope.’

Kerry’s kids are thrilled – especially after Ryan’s exit hit hard. Paolo’s already ‘family’, joining beach days and panto fun.

At 45, Kerry’s glowing: slimmer, happier, earning from OnlyFans, columns and TV. ‘Last throw of the dice,’ pals say – but this feels different. Calm. Certain.

Katie, battling her own demons – bankruptcies, arrests, facelifts – finds strength in Kerry. ‘Katie trusts no one but Kerry,’ insiders say.

Fans are obsessed: ‘Kerry deserves this!’ one cried. ‘Double wedding with Pricey? Iconic!’ another begged.

Critics might sneer – another marriage for serial brides? But haters miss the point. These warriors have survived the unthinkable.

From cocaine hell to jungle queens, bankruptcy to comebacks – now they’re daring to believe in love again.

Picture it: 2026, two glam gowns, Kerry and Katie arm-in-arm, vowing forever side by side.

No chaos. Just certainty. Real scars healed by real hope.

Kerry Katona isn’t guessing anymore. She’s glowing – and forever starts now.

Watch this space, darlings – 2026 is going to be epic! 💍✨
