Kerry Katona says she got ‘hopes up’ about pregnancy after cruel AI prank

The mum of five said that she and her partner Paolo Margaglione were “victims of AI” when someone created a fake pregnancy reveal picture showing the pair holding a baby scan.
In her OK! Magazine column, Katona said it “was absolutely ridiculous.”
“I actually got my hopes up when I saw it,” she said.

“Jokes aside, I think it’s a little bit insensitive to create those things, though.
“I’m a 45 year old woman who would really love to have another baby, but I don’t know whether it will happen or not,” Kerry confessed.
“I think AI in that sense is getting out of hand. I’d love for that picture to have been real and I’ll keep hoping it does happen, but for now, I’m definitely not pregnant!
Earlier this month, she revealed she is “open” to having her sixth child.
Katona has been dating boyfriend Paolo since meeting on the set of Celebs Go Dating earlier this year.
Kerry already has five kids, while her new beau also has two daughters from a previous relationship.
Reflecting on the possibility, she discussed Jamie Redknapp’s decision to have a baby with his new wife.

“Jamie Redknapp said last week that his eldest son wasn’t a bit happy when he told him he was going to have a baby with his now-wife, Frida,” she said.
“I completely understand how hard it can be when you have children with new partners and try to blend them into the family.
“But it seems like everything has worked out for them now. I’m quite lucky in that respect with my family,” she added.
“Everything has gone so smoothly with me and Paolo. I’m definitely open to having more kids – and I know my children would be happy for me, if that was the case.”
In another edition of her column, Katona revealed that her children are getting on really well with Paolo’s.
“This week I’ve been super busy touring, but I did have a day with Paolo and the kids, my lot and his two girls, which was lovely,” she said.
“I love spending time with his girls – it’s such a nice feeling to have little ones around again.
“We’ve blended our families together seamlessly, and everything fits into place perfectly.”
Katona had hopes of more children with her ex-fiancé, and partner of six years, Ryan Mahoney, before they split last November.
He moved out of their home following “a breach of trust.”
