Kerry Katona has revealed she has split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney after six years as she shared the news with her followers on Instagram.
The TV personality, 44, and the fitness trainer, 36, who endured a rocky romance, have gone their separate ways four years after getting engaged.
Kerry revealed the news on Instagram in response to one of her followers in the comments section of one of her grid posts.
Earlier this year, Kerry admitted she felt ‘unsupported’ by Ryan and had temporarily moved in with her mother, Sue, as cracks in their relationship began to show.
At the time, she said: ‘I want to say a massive thank you to my mum, who has been my rock during the last couple of weeks. I’ve been staying at hers and she’s really looked after me.’

‘If I’m honest, I’ve felt more lonely than ever during my recovery. Ryan was away getting a tattoo in London when I went into hospital and I haven’t seen him since my surgery over a week ago.
‘That upset me, because it made me feel unsupported and I could have done with the emotional support. I’m always the ‘strong mum’ in our house and this week I really wanted to be looked after and have him here, but I had my mum instead.’
In February Kerry revealed her baby dream was over and admitted she had given Ryan ‘a free pass’ to have a baby with another woman.
Kerry explained: ‘I don’t want to deprive him in fact, I’ve given him a pass and said, “If this is something you want to pursue, leave me now!”
‘I never want someone to not have that feeling of having their own child. But I feel like I should be enough for a man.’
Last week Kerry admitted she hasn’t seen her eldest daughter Molly in a whole year.
Molly now lives in Ireland – her father’s home country – but she will soon reunite with her mum during a trip back to the UK.
Writing in her latest OK! column, Kerry said: ‘Lilly and Molly are both coming home this week from Ireland for a visit and I can’t wait to have them back.
‘I haven’t seen Molly in almost a year! We talk on the phone every single day, but she just hasn’t been home to visit in a while. Lilly is getting on great too, she’s really settled and has got a good job over in Ireland, I’m proud of her.

‘It’s nice for me to see my kids flourish. I’ve done my parenting bit and now it’s their turn to live lives.’
Kerry and Abbey Clancy were both left in tears after the Atomic Kitten star recently opened up about her tragic childhood and why she got her daughters’ names tattooed on her wrists.
The star was overcome with emotion as she admitted her biggest fear is her children feeling ‘unloved’ as that is how she felt growing up.
Kerry’s mother Sue was manic-depressive and speaking to Abbey on her podcast Exhibit A, she confessed her earliest memory is watching her mum slit her wrists when she was just three years old.
She confessed: ‘I think my biggest thing was always feeling not good enough because you know when you watch your mum trying to kill herself and you’re like ‘am I not good enough for you want to be here?’

‘So I was pretty f****d up before I became famous anyway’.
Revealing her biggest fear, she continued: ‘I remember sitting in rehab and I couldn’t believe I let myself get so low and I kept thinking if this is in my DNA and if it is a genetic thing and I thought the one thing I never want my kids to feel is unloved and not wanted by me, because that is how I felt.
‘I thought if this is [self-harming] something that I might end up doing, so I got Molly and Lily tattooed on my wrist because I thought I’d be so selfish to put my kids through that.
‘No matter what’s going on in my life I want my my kids to know I love them so much and I’m never going to leave them.’
