Kerry Katona says mum sold Brian McFadden wedding ring on eBay

Kerry Katona claims her mum sold her weddings from her marriage with Brian McFadden on eBay following a feud.

The Atomic Kitten star, from Warrington, was once close to her mum Sue. However, they famously fell out in 2007 after Sue was quoted in the media slamming Kerry's then husband Mark Croft, reports OK!.

The 42-year-old said she had gifted her mum the wedding rings from her first marriage to Westlife’s Brian McFadden after the couple split in 2004. But when Sue and Kerry fell out during Kerry's sometimes troubled marriage with Mark, she claims Sue sold her wedding and engagement rings.

Referring to Katie Price selling the iconic pink wedding dress she wore to marry Peter Andre, Kerry said: “She once said that she was keeping them for her daughters, which I understand as I wanted my girls to have my wedding rings, just so they had something from their parents being in love.

“But I gave the rings from my first marriage to my mum and when we fell out she sold them on eBay. My second wedding ring, I gave back, and my third broke. So, unfortunately, my girls don’t have anything from the wedding days – but they have our genes. What more could they want?”

Kerry and Brian married in 2002 while both enjoying huge fame and success with pop bands Atomic Kitten and Westlife. They had two daughters together - Molly, now 21, and Lilly, 20, before splitting in 2004.

Kerry meanwhile, married Mark Croft in 2007, the dad of her daughter Heidi, now 16, and Max, 14, before divorcing three years later. She’s also mum to eight-year-old Dylan-Jorge (DJ), her daughter with her late husband George Kay, a former rugby player who died in 2019.

Kerry recently revealed some happy news for her family, telling her fans that her personal trainer fiancé Ryan Mahoney, 34, wants to adopt her youngest child, DJ. Despite saying she’s happier than ever, Kerry admits she has reservations about marrying Ryan as she doesn’t want another “public divorce”.

She said: "I think that’s what holds me back when it comes to marrying Ryan. I know I’ll be with him forever, but there is that part of me that is worried about going through it all again."

But if she can bring herself to say ‘I do’ a fourth time, Kerry said she’d love to do it in the wedding mecca of Las Vegas, with an Elvis impersonator leading the ceremony.
