Kerry and Ryan originally started dating in June 2018 but split in October 2018 after just four months of dating, following their ‘make or break’ trip to Thailand.
They rekindled their romance in summer 2019. Writing in her column for new! magazine last year, the mother-of-five, branded the hunk a ‘godsend’ after her ex-husband George died in an abrupt, drug-related death in a Holiday Inn on July 6 at the age of 39.
She also insisted the on-off couple were trying to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Kerry said: ‘He’s been a good friend to me and over the last few months we just decided to give it a go.
‘He’s been a godsend recently when I’ve needed him most. We’re settled, committed, my kids love him and so do I.
‘In my mind, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
‘So this time I’m finally dating a man who has a job, his own money, and is very happy to stay out of the media.’
