Brian shares Molly Marie, 23, and 21-year-old Lilly-Sue McFadden with his ex Kerry.
His daughters gave a sweet glimpse into their dad’s wedding day and now the Atomic Kitten singer – who was noticeably absent – has opened up.
She told how she reached out to PE teacher Danielle on her wedding day and said: “My ex, Brian McFadden, got married earlier this month and I just want to wish him and his wife Danielle a lifetime of happiness.”
After rumours of a feud between the pair Kerry, who was married to the Irish singer from 2002 to 2006 added to New! Magazine: “His wedding has nothing to do with me at all.
“I texted Danielle to wish them a happy day – it looked like a beautiful celebration and I hope they had a ball.”
Kerry recently revealed an insight into her relationship with Brian’s partner Danielle, and said: “I get on really well with his fiancée.
“I think I might have a girl crush on her. I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she’s the best stepmum.
“On Mother’s Day, I sent her a message. I went, Happy Mother’s Day, Danielle. I think she’s lovely and they’ve got a beautiful little girl, Ruby.
“I wish them nothing but joy and happiness.”
KERRY’S TAKE
Whole Again singer Kerry recently told how she hoped she could have stayed pals with boyband star Brian.
It came before the mum of five recently opened up on their tense relationship.
She spoke from the heart about her ex during the podcast Meeting… Kerry Katona – and the sadness that has followed.
The Atomic Kitten star, 43, told presenter Matt Foister: “I really wish me and Brian were friends. I said that to Lily yesterday because she was going to [Westlife’s] concert to watch and I said, I wish I could come.”
Kerry Katona’s love life timeline
Kerry’s first high-profile relationship was with Brian McFadden, who was then a member of the Irish boyband Westlife.
The couple married in 2002 and had two daughters together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but divorce beckoned just four years later after infidelity claims.
In 2007, Kerry married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver.
Their relationship was tumultuous and marked by financial difficulties and accusations of infidelity.
They had two children together, Heidi and Maxwell, before divorcing in 2011.
Kerry has spoken openly about the difficulties she faced during this period, including struggles with her mental health and substance abuse.
Following this, she entered into a relationship with George Kay, a former professional rugby league player.
They married in 2014 and had a daughter, Dylan-Jorge (DJ). However, their relationship was fraught with issues, including horrifying domestic abuse, and they separated in 2017. Kay died in 2019 after ‘biting into a ball of cocaine’.
Kerry later found love again with Ryan Mahoney, a fitness trainer.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Kerry described Ryan as a stabilising and positive influence in her life.
After increasing speculation late in 2024, Kerry revealed they had split over a “breach in trust” and Ryan had moved out of her home.
She then admitted: “People forget I’ve lived a million lives after Brian, but it was so iconic and it was so public, and people always go on about me and Brian but it was a lifetime ago.
“He is a part of my story and he hates that, but unfortunately it is what it is and I’m grateful to him, because I went through something with Brian that was phenomenal… phenomenal.”
LOVE STORY
Brian met his PE teacher partner Danielle in 2016 and they got engaged shortly after.
After meeting his long-term love, Brian popped the question shortly after in December 2019.
The happy couple welcomed their daughter Ruby Jean into the world back in 2021.
Brian recently revealed his intimate wedding plans to his fiancée after their five-year engagement.
The happy couple had planned on getting married in South Africa but were forced to postpone their big day due to Covid-19 restrictions and the birth of their daughter.
Following his split with Kerry, he was previously engaged to Australian singer Delta Goodrem from 2007 to 2011.
He was then married to model Vogue Williams from 2012 to 2017.
