After years of heartbreak, false starts and very public relationship turmoil, Kerry Katona is finally looking toward a future she believes will last — and this time, she isn’t hiding her certainty.
Friends of the 45-year-old TV personality say Kerry is planning to marry her partner next year, determined to build a calmer, more grounded life after decades of emotional upheaval. And those closest to her insist she has never sounded more sure.
“This is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with,” Kerry has told friends.
“I’ve been through everything — and this finally feels right.”
What makes this chapter even more meaningful is that she won’t be walking it alone.
Kerry and her longtime best friend Katie Price, 47, are said to be planning weddings of their own — side by side. Insiders reveal the pair are hoping to tie the knot in 2026, acting as bridesmaids at each other’s ceremonies and supporting one another every step of the way.
According to a source:
“They are both very keen to get married in 2026. After everything they’ve survived, this feels like the moment they finally get their happy endings.”
A Friendship Forged in Chaos — and Loyalty
Kerry and Katie’s bond stretches back more than two decades, beginning in the I’m A Celebrity jungle at a time when both women were facing intense personal struggles. Kerry was navigating emotional turmoil, while Katie was at the very start of her whirlwind romance with Peter Andre.
Even then, they made promises.
“They always said they’d be each other’s bridesmaids,” the source revealed.
“They vowed they’d be there for each other through weddings, children — everything.”
Now, that promise is finally coming full circle.
There’s even talk of a joint hen do — and playful whispers of a possible double wedding — as the pair embrace a future built on friendship, shared scars and fierce loyalty.
“This Time, It’s Different”
Kerry, who has been married three times before, is said to be approaching love with a completely different mindset. Friends describe her as calmer, more guarded — and more hopeful than ever.
“She isn’t chasing headlines,” an insider said.
“She genuinely believes this relationship is her last. She’s proud of the man she’s with and confident enough to say it out loud.”
Katie, too, has endured her own turbulent romantic history following her divorce from Peter Andre in 2009. Despite occasional fallouts, those close to the pair insist their friendship remains unbreakable — strengthened by motherhood, hard lessons and survival.
Both women still dream of expanding their families, fully aware of the challenges but hopeful nonetheless. They’ve even joked about doing it together, just as they plan to walk down the aisle.
“They’ve done the chaos,” the source said.
“Now they want peace, love — and stability.”
Katie is currently said to be happier than ever with former Married At First Sight UK contestant JJ Slater, 33, while Kerry’s confidence in her own future has never felt stronger.
And for Kerry Katona, the message is clear:
this time, she isn’t guessing.
She’s sure.
