Kerry Katona is done with the naysayers! The 45-year-old reality star has clapped back at trolls who labeled her new boyfriend, 33-year-old Paolo Margaglione, a “fame-hungry red flag.” The couple, who sparked their romance on the set of Celebs Go Dating, are proving their love is the real deal—and they’re not holding back.
In a candid new video, Kerry and Paolo, a devoted dad-of-two, sat down with Kerry’s daughter Heidi to answer burning questions from fans. One bold follower didn’t mince words, accusing Paolo of chasing Kerry’s spotlight. Kerry was quick to set the record straight. “If anything, he’s been my rock,” she declared. “I’m the one who’s struggled with fame, and he’s been nothing but supportive.”
Paolo, cool and composed, backed her up: “When people see how we are together, they get it. It’s not about fame—it’s about us.” The chemistry between them is undeniable, and their whirlwind romance has already seen them take a huge step: moving in together just months after meeting.
When asked about their 12-year age gap, Kerry didn’t bat an eye. With a cheeky grin, she quipped, “You’re only as old as the man you’re feeling!” Paolo, clearly smitten, chimed in with a playful, “I second that—sorry, Heidi!” The couple’s lighthearted banter shows they’re unfazed by the haters and fully embracing their love.
Kerry’s also stepping into a new role as stepmom to Paolo’s young children, and she’s loving every minute of it. “It’s brought the house alive,” she gushed. “You and your kids have brought out the best in us.” The joy in her voice was unmistakable as she described how Paolo and his kids have transformed her home into a lively, love-filled space.
In a heartfelt moment, Kerry revealed just how deeply she’s fallen. “I’ve never been this happy in my entire life,” she said. “I’ve got everything I’ve ever wanted and more.” Paolo echoed her sentiments, admitting, “I feel exactly the same.” Their connection, built on mutual respect and electric chemistry, is clearly unshakable.
Kerry’s not shy about sharing the steamy side of their romance either. After splitting from ex Ryan Mahoney in November, she wasn’t looking for love—until Paolo swept her off her feet. “Our sex life? It’s f****** unbelievable,” she raved, blushing as she struggled to find words. “Even now, I get giddy just thinking about him. My hands shake—it’s electric.”
What drew Kerry to Paolo wasn’t just their physical connection but his emotional depth. “He’s so insightful, with such a good soul,” she said. “Getting to know him blew my mind.” For Kerry, who had sworn off dating to focus on her “independent era,” Paolo’s arrival was a game-changer. “When I’m not with him, I actually ache,” she admitted. “I’ve never felt this before.”
The couple’s love story began on Celebs Go Dating, where their connection was instant and undeniable. A memorable moment came when Paolo met Kerry’s daughter Heidi for the first time—an awkward but sweet encounter that marked the start of their journey as a blended family. Now, as they navigate life together, Kerry and Paolo are proving that love can conquer all—even the skeptics.
With their hearts full and their bond stronger than ever, Kerry and Paolo are writing their own fairy tale. Trolls and doubters? They’re just noise. For Kerry, this is her happiest chapter yet, and she’s living it unapologetically.
