Kerry Katona says she’s considering moving overseas sooner than planned with her boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, and her kids. She feels she’s received a signal that it’s time for a new beginning.
The 45-year-old TV star and her 33-year-old partner recently announced in an interview that they’re planning to move their family to a warmer, sunnier location next year.
She mentioned the move could happen earlier than planned, as she recently learned her youngest daughter, Dylan-Jorge,’s school is shutting down.
Kerry shared in her New! magazine column that she was devastated by the news, but hoped it could be a positive sign encouraging her and her family to move out of the UK.
I just found out DJ’s school is closing in July, and I’m really upset. Molly, Lilly, and Heidi all attended there, so it’s especially hard news.
We’re now scrambling to find DJ a new school, but they prioritize students who already have family members attending. Unfortunately, DJ has been placed on the waiting list.
I’ve been trying to connect with another school, but it’s not working out. I’m starting to think maybe it’s a good time to move to Spain and make a fresh start.
Kerry lives in Cheshire and has five children. She shares her daughters Molly, 24, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with her former husband, Brian McFadden. She also has Heidi, 18, and Max, 17, with Mark Croft, and her youngest son, Dylan-Jorge, 11, with her late partner, George Kay.
While businessman Paolo is dad to two daughters, Milani and Nola, from a previous relationship.
In a recent interview with OK! magazine, the couple shared their plans for the future, revealing they hope to move overseas within the next year.
Paolo said he’s hoping to move somewhere warm and sunny, ideally leaving the UK at some point.
He explained that this was a mutual goal, something both he and Kerry had hoped for, and Kerry confirmed they had a plan in place.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, Kerry Katona, started a relationship with Paolo Cimarra after they met while filming the TV show Celebs Go Dating in April.
Since meeting on the show, the couple’s relationship has blossomed, and they apparently moved in together just two months later.
Kerry had previously described their sex life as ‘amazing’ and shared that she was incredibly happy, stating she’d never felt this way before.
She recently shared that she’s thinking about moving to Spain, following an earlier consideration of joining the growing number of influencers relocating to Dubai.
She recently shared in her New! magazine column that she understands why Dubai is so popular with celebrities, and it’s a place she’d seriously think about relocating to.
Oh my gosh, it’s just… perfect. Seriously, it feels so safe and clean, and everyone is so kind and looks out for one another. I’m already picturing my life there, honestly – I could totally see myself living there this time next year, and bringing the kids with me, of course! It just feels like home, you know?
Kerry is the latest celebrity considering a move to the UAE, following others like Kate and Rio Ferdinand, Joey Essex, and reportedly her close friend Katie Price, who is planning to join her new husband Lee Andrews there.
Following the outbreak of war between the US and Israel against Iran, which caused disruption in the UAE, many celebrities have quickly left Dubai and returned to the UK.
Following the resumption of more commercial flights from the UAE, Petra Ecclestone and her husband, Sam Palmer, along with their four children, left the city on Thursday.
Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter, a socialite, explained on Instagram that reports she was trying to flee were untrue. She stated she was simply traveling to London so her 13-year-old daughter, Lavinia, could compete in a European equestrian event.
Despite the ongoing conflict creating global concern, many international figures, including prominent British personalities, have been publicly praising Dubai as the safest place to be.
Despite public statements of support, The Daily Mail discovered a harsher truth: the UAE government wouldn’t hesitate to imprison or deport anyone creating content they considered damaging to the country’s image.
The government has also been suppressing posts showing real footage from last week’s attacks. This includes videos of damage to luxury hotels like the Fairmont on the Palm Jumeirah and the famous Burj Al Arab, which appeared to be caused by drones or falling debris.
Shortly after the initial attacks, Dubai’s Media Office reported that old photos and videos of previous fires in the city were being shared online. They stated this was done to frighten people and attract attention.
As a lifestyle expert, I want to make sure everyone understands the rules here in the UAE. Simply put, sharing or posting content that breaks the law will have legal consequences. It’s really important to be mindful of what you share online and ensure it aligns with local regulations. We all want to enjoy a positive and respectful digital environment, and that starts with responsible online behavior.
In a country known for its terrible human rights abuses – where people are routinely tortured, can’t speak freely, and the legal system is unfair and secretive – any warning about potential consequences is taken very seriously.
As a lifestyle expert, I always advise travelers to be mindful of local laws and customs. In the UAE, it’s really important to understand that criticizing the government or its organizations, or even spreading what could be considered false information, carries serious consequences. You could face hefty fines – potentially up to £200,000 – or even a prison sentence of up to five years, and possibly be deported. This is especially concerning if you own property there, as it could create even more complications. Basically, it’s best to be respectful and avoid any potentially controversial discussions.
Dubai has become a hotspot for influencers – with over 50,000 now based there. It’s not just the warm weather and no taxes that attract them, but also a government program called Creators HQ, which provides significant support and guidance for setting up their businesses.
Dubai offers a special 10-year residency visa, known as the ‘Golden Visa,’ to highly influential individuals and their families. To qualify, they’re expected to publicly promote Dubai as a safe and luxurious place to live.
Despite influencers often praising the UAE as a safe place, many people are still leaving Dubai.
Laura Anderson, known from Love Island, recently shared that she was hoping for smooth travels after successfully booking a flight from Dubai to Edinburgh.
After several tries, Sam Gowland from Geordie Shore was finally able to travel to Mauritius.
Alice Liveing, a popular fitness influencer, was able to return to the UK after being in Dubai when the strikes started.
Despite telling her fans she was doing well in Dubai, Apprentice star Luisa Zissman announced she’s planning to come back to the UK.
