Kerry Katona has joked she should have a "degree in divorce" as she prepares to tie the knot for a fourth time.
The former Atomic Kitten star poked fun at her relationship history in her latest column for New magazine.
She wrote: “I should have a degree in divorce by now! I was very young when I first got married.
“I think if you want to get married, get married. If you want to get divorced, get divorced. You only have one life.”
And she predicted the change in UK divorce laws – meaning you no longer have to attribute blame to a partner to divorce them – could lead to a surge in marriage splits.
No stranger to a split herself, Kerry walked down the aisle aged just 21 for her first marriage to Westlife singer Brian McFadden in 2002.
The couple seemed like a pop match made in heaven and went on to have two daughters together, Molly now 20 and Lily-Sue, 19.
But the couple split two years later after Brian admitted he didn’t love Kerry anymore in a tense phone call.
It later emerged Brian had cheated on Kerry with a lapdancer on his stag do – with Kerry having to read about it in the papers while her husband was on tour.
Kerry’s next marriage was to taxi driver Mark Croft, who she had only known for six weeks before they walked down the aisle in 2007.
The pair were together for four years and welcomed daughter Heidi, 15, and son Max, who turned 14 this week.
But things didn’t end well when Kerry accused him of squandering her fortune, blowing £1.4 million on flash cars alone.
After their bitter divorce, Kerry would go on to make more shocking claims about Mark, including branding him a drug dealer.
It later emerged Kerry had a drug problem while she was with him and later said their relationship was “just about coke”.
Mark admitted spending all of Kerry’s money when she told him he no longer had to work and she declared herself bankrupt in 2008.
Kerry’s third marriage was to former professional rugby player George Kay, who Kerry knew from school.
The pair tied the knot in 2014 and had eight-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge, who is known as DJ.
Sadly they split a year later after Kerry claimed George had been violent towards her.
Then in 2019 George tragically died from a drugs overdose in a hotel room at the age of 39.
Kerry has since found love with personal trainer Ryan Mahoney, 32, who she met on the dating app Bumble.
But although they are engaged, the couple were forced to postpone their Las Vegas wedding due to Covid - and instead hope to tie the knot in Sin City this summer.
