Katie Price and Kerry Katona, best friends for years, are reportedly planning to marry their partners in 2026. The duo has promised to support each other throughout the process as they embark on this significant chapter of their lives.

The 47-year-old former glamour model and the 45-year-old TV personality, both known for their history of rocky relationships, have allegedly committed to serving as bridesmaids for each other’s weddings. They even entertain the idea of having children around the same time.

An insider shared with The Mirror that both are eager to wed in 2026 and have pledged to be there for one another on these momentous occasions. The idea of welcoming babies simultaneously also appeals to them.

The source added that since their initial meeting in the jungle during “I’m A Celebrity,” where Kerry faced challenges and Katie met Peter Andre, they’ve vowed to be part of each other’s bridal parties and present during the early days of parenthood. Therefore, they are determined to support each other through their upcoming weddings.

The insider also mentioned the potential for a joint bachelorette party, emphasizing that whatever they decide, they plan to do it together. There’s even speculation about the possibility of a double wedding.

Daily Mail has contacted Katie and Kerry’s representatives for comment. 

Best friends Katie Price and Kerry Katona are reportedly planning to tie the knot with their respective partners in 2026 – and have vowed to support one another every step of the way as they finally settle down

Both stars have had turbulent love lives and have been involved in several high-profile relationships over the years. 

Katie embarked on a string of ill-fated romances following her divorce from first husband Peter Andre in 2009. The pair were married for four years and share two children, Junior and Princess. 

She later married former mixed martial artist Alex Reid in 2010, though they split in 2012. 

In 2013, Katie tied the knot with Kieran Hayler, 38, but the marriage broke down after she discovered he had been having an affair. Their divorce was finalised in 2021, three years after their split. 

However, the star is now said to be happier than ever with former Married At First Sight UK contestant JJ Slater, 33, whom she has been dating since February 2024, despite reports of a brief split in July. 

Meanwhile, her best friend Kerry has also been married three times. 

She wed Westlife singer Brian McFadden in 2002 before divorcing in 2006, then married former taxi driver Mark Croft in 2007. The couple split in 2011. 

Kerry later married George Kay in 2014, though they separated in 2017. Tragically, he died from a drug overdose in July 2019. 

A source told The Mirror: ‘They are both very keen to get married in 2026 and will be there for each other on their special days. They’d love to have babies at the same time too’

The source continued: ‘Because they’ve known each other since the (I’m A Celebrity) jungle, when Kerry was going through a lot and Katie met Peter (Andre), they always said they’d be each other’s bridesmaids and they’d be there for each other when they first had their kids’ (pictured 2004)

Katie has five children: Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 11 (seen with daughter Princess)

Meanwhile, Kerry is also a mother to five children: Molly, 24, Lilly-Sue, 22, Heidi, 18, Max, 17, and 11-year-old DJ

Last year, Kerry split from fiancé Ryan Mahoney following a reported ‘breach of trust’, but has since found love with personal trainer Paolo Margaglione, 33, whom she met while appearing on E4’s Celebs Go Dating earlier this year. 

Despite not always seeing eye to eye, Kerry, who is a mother to Molly, 24, Lilly-Sue, 22, Heidi, 18, Max, 17, and 11-year-old DJ, is said to be one of the few people Katie truly trusts. 

The source claimed Katie ‘doesn’t trust anyone’ other than Kerry, adding that the pair share a deeply close bond. 

And while they can get on ‘each other’s nerves’ and have fallen out in the past, they remain fiercely loyal to one another. 

Their friendship has grown even stronger this year after completing a UK tour of their joint live show, An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona.

The insider added that while the pair need each other, Katie relies particularly heavily on Kerry, claiming she lacks the same confidence and wouldn’t have been able to do the theatre shows on her own.

Despite their past disagreements, one thing the pair always agree on is their love for their children – and their desire to expand their families. 

The source revealed they both ‘want babies’, though they are aware that their age could make pregnancy uncertain. 

However, if they do go on to have more children, they are said to be keen to do so around the same time, while also acting as godparents to one another’s babies and standing side-by-side as bridesmaids on their big days. 

The Real Husbands of Katie Price

In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here’s a look at the trio with whom she exchanged ‘I dos’… and ‘I don’ts’:

 

PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)

The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.

 

 

ALEX REID (2010 – 2012) 

Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton’s 30th birthday party at London’s Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex ‘too soon’, she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.

 

 

KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)

Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie’s world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their ‘amicable’ divorce was finalised in early 2021.
