Katie Price Moves in with Kerry Katona as Friendship Turns into Christmas Support System
Katie Price has reportedly moved in with her long-time friend Kerry Katona as the pair prepare to star together as the wicked stepsisters in a Christmas pantomime production of Cinderella. The show is set to take place at Northwich Memorial Court in Cheshire, conveniently close to Kerry’s home, while Katie’s residence is in Sussex, several miles away.
According to The Sun, Katie’s move comes at a pivotal time for Kerry, who recently split from her fiancé, Ryan Mahoney. An insider shared, “Katie has moved in with Kerry during their panto run. It’s great timing for Kerry after her breakup, and Katie is being a huge support.”
The two celebrities, who first bonded during their time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, are not only sharing the stage but are also planning to spend Christmas together. The collaboration seems to be a welcome distraction for Kerry as she navigates her recent relationship struggles.
Kerry had been in a six-year relationship with Ryan, whom she met on the dating app Bumble, and the couple was planning to marry. However, this month Kerry confirmed in an interview with OK! magazine that Ryan had moved out following a “breach of trust” in their relationship.
Reflecting on the breakup, Kerry shared: “Last week I spoke about how Ryan and I were having a tough time, and now he has moved out of the house. We are no longer together, and it’s been a really tough week—I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there has been a breach of trust between us. I don’t know if we’ll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much”, according to the Express.
Despite the heartbreak, Kerry remains optimistic about her resilience. “I feel like everything has heaped on recently, and it’s so much to deal with. I am really struggling. But I know I can get through it no matter what happens. I’ve been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens.”
As the duo prepares for their pantomime debut, Katie’s presence seems to be a source of strength for Kerry, demonstrating the enduring power of friendship in challenging times.
