Kerry Katona is marking a big milestone with her partner Paolo Margaglione – but doesn’t want people to think love is all “rainbows”.
The singer and reality star met fitness influencer Paolo on Celebs Go Dating and this week, they will celebrate their year anniversary together. The pair – who are happier than ever – are marking the occasion with a glitzy trip to the races.
Speaking in her new! magazine column, she said: “It’s our anniversary this week. We’re going to Chester Races on Thursday, and the funny thing is I went the Races last year on the 9th and we had our first date on the 8th.
“And then this year we’re going to the Races together the day before our anniversary because I’m working all weekend. It might look like we fell in love quickly on TV but we saw each other a hell of a lot off camera. It feels like 12 years.”

She also hit back at those who might think her relationship is ‘perfect’.
“People think it’s all romantic and it’s all rainbows and it isn’t. It’s real life. It’s just a relationship that you’ve got to work at, but it’s a relationship we’ll want forever,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Kerry and Paolo previously opened up about their romance – and their plans to get married.
Kerry shared: “We will 100 per cent get married,” with Paolo adding: “I’m not just doing it for the sake of doing it. We’re trying to build something really special together, so I want it to be the right moment.”
However, with their romance, there was one boundary Kerry did have – she didn’t want to make a public declaration of love on Celebs Go Dating, despite pleas from the production team.
“They were so adamant for me to say it on camera to him. I said, ‘Listen, you guys have taught me to protect my boundaries and this is my boundary. I do love Paolo, but I’m not going to say that on camera because that’s just for me and him, because I’m deadly serious about him. I’m giving my all to him and I wanna keep that just for me and him,'” she said.
Kerry insisted she wouldn’t let any “outside noise” bother them. She shared: “It’s outside noise more than anything. But the good thing is, when there’s outside noise, we support each other and deal with it together.”
