Kerry Katona Says ‘Pain and Heartbreak’ Are Fueling Her Career Comeback
Kerry Katona is turning heartbreak into opportunity, reportedly earning six-figure sums after splitting from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney. The former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, has chosen to focus on her career and children following the end of her relationship, using her struggles as motivation for success.
The couple, who spent years building their relationship, recently separated after Kerry revealed a “breach of trust” led to their split. Writing in her OK! magazine column last month, Kerry explained: “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.”
Despite the pain, Kerry is now pouring her energy into work and building a stable future for her five children: Molly, 23, Lilly-Sue, 21, Heidi, 17, Max, 15, and DJ, nine. According to The Sun, a source close to Kerry said: “Kerry has turned a corner after her heartbreak and has decided next year is all about work and making her children fully financially secure for the future. She has already signed off three projects in the last week.”
The insider added: “She’ll make six figures, easily. She has used the pain and heartbreak as power and is ready to concentrate on her career and to make a better future for herself and her children.”
Kerry’s professional comeback includes a starring role in panto at Northwich Memorial Court alongside her friend and fellow celebrity Katie Price. However, 2025 looks even busier as she lines up new projects, proving she’s as focused as ever.
In her column, Kerry also opened up about the emotional toll of balancing her split, caring for her ailing mother, and looking after her children. She confessed: “I’ve been really struggling.” Seeking support, Kerry turned to therapy sessions with Nik and Eva Speakman. Reflecting on the experience, she shared: “I feel so validated… not validated, just they are so insightful.”
Despite the heartache, Kerry’s resilience is shining through as she channels her personal struggles into a positive force for her career and family. With her determination and work ethic, Kerry Katona is proving once again that she’s ready to rise above life’s challenges and create a brighter future for herself and her children.
