Kerry Katona has revealed she and her toyboy fiancé Ryan Mahoney are 'looking at surrogacy options'.
The Atomic Kitten star is already mum to Molly, 21, and Lily-Sue, 20 – whom she shares with ex Brian McFadden – as well as Heidi, 16, and Maxwell, 15, with ex Mark Croft.
She is also mum to daughter Dylan-Jorge, nine, with her late ex George Kay.
However, Kerry has revealed she and her fiancé Ryan, who she got engaged to in 2020, want to add another addition to their brood.
Writing in her column for new! magazine the 42-year-old revealed she has been looking at the option to welcome a child with her hubby-to-be Ryan, 34, via a surrogate.
Kerry revealed: "I don't know if I could be bothered being pregnant again, especially in my forties, but I'm definitely considering having another baby via surrogacy.
"I've been in talks with Manchester Fertility clinic, because we're looking at surrogacy options."
And it appears Kerry doesn't only want another child of her own as she also admitted she wants to become a grandmother, too.
She wrote elsewhere in the column: "I’m 43 this year and I want grandbabies. I can’t believe I don’t have a grandbaby yet!
"I said to my Molly, 'my mum was 20 when she had me, and I was 20 when I had you, come on, pop one out, hurry up!'"
In May, Kerry said none of her children are "even close" to becoming parents just yet while her daughter Heidi has a fear of pregnancy.
The mum-of-five revealed: "I would love to be one -[a grandma]. None of my kids are even close to having babies.
"Heidi always says she wants to be a mum one day, but she has a fear of pregnancy – it freaks her out.
"I think Max will make me a grandma first, but that’s a long time off."
Kerry has been with her personal trainer beau Ryan for more than five years and the couple got engaged in August 2020.
Earlier this year, Kerry admitted she had fears over tying the knot again but said she and Ryan were most likely set to say 'I do' in Las Vegas.
Kerry told GB news in March: "I was married at age 21 as everyone knows, and then I rushed into another marriage.
"My third marriage, my husband passed away, so I'm actually a widow. But I've been with Ryan now for five years and I am an old romantic, I believe in that happily ever after.
"Just because it didn't work out the first time, or the second, or the third time, does that mean I've got to be on my own for the rest of my life? No."
She also revealed the drive for her to walk down the aisle is for 'security' for her daughter Dylan-Jorge, whom she nicknames DJ.
"I also think about security as well," Kerry admitted. "DJ, my youngest, she's only ever known Ryan. Her dad died when she was only five, she's only ever known Ryan.
"So we're going to go down the adoption route as well with DJ. But also, if anything was to happen to me, I want to make sure that security is there for my children to remain with Ryan and by being married, that all helps."
