The former Atomic Kitten star and Westlife singer, both now 45, were married from 2002 until 2006 and share two daughters, Molly, 24, and Lilly-Sue, 22. But Kerry has now admitted the relationship was doomed almost from the beginning.

Brian previously confessed that he cheated on Kerry with a lap dancer on the night of his stag do — a revelation Kerry says reopened deep childhood wounds she had carried for years.

Speaking candidly to The Times, Kerry explained that she entered the relationship believing Brian would be her “knight in shining armour,” someone who could save her from a turbulent upbringing marked by instability, foster care, and a strained relationship with her mother Sue, who struggled with mental health issues.

“I thought he was my forever,” Kerry said. “We were puppies, babies back then.”

She continued: “I wanted him to rescue me from my old life — but then he slept with a stripper on his stag night and was unfaithful.”

Kerry has since reflected on how the betrayal triggered unresolved trauma rooted in her childhood, particularly her lifelong search for approval and emotional security.

Elsewhere in the chat, Kerry revealed she has made ‘millions’ of pounds since joining adult site Only Fans

Elsewhere in the interview, Kerry spoke openly about her financial comeback, revealing she has made “millions” since joining adult content platform OnlyFans in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The former glamour model said she earned £160,000 in her very first month and insisted every penny goes towards supporting her four children — none of whom, she stressed, she would ever want following in her footsteps on the platform.

Writing recently in her OK! Magazine column, Kerry said she has no plans to give up OnlyFans anytime soon and even teased that a well-known celebrity nearing 70 is considering joining the site.

“This is about women celebrating themselves and their sexuality without shame,” she explained. “I’m a grown-up, and it’s my choice. Would I want my kids doing it? Absolutely not.”

Kerry also reflected on her past financial struggles, admitting she once considered taking her own life after being declared bankrupt in 2008. She lost her £1.25 million home in Wilmslow after failing to pay £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.

She was declared bankrupt again in 2013, with further legal issues surfacing in later years.

Now, years after heartbreak, public scrutiny and financial collapse, Kerry says she has rebuilt her life — though the emotional scars of her marriage to Brian still linger.
