Kerry Katona wants to have children with her toyboy lover Paolo Margaglione.

The 45-year-old reality TV star is smitten with her 33-year-old boyfriend – who she met on Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating earlier this year – and revealed she would love to add to her brood of five children from three marriages.

In her OK! Magazine column, Kerry shared: “’I’m definitely open to having more kids – and I know my children would be happy for me, if that was the case.”

Kerry already has daughters Molly, 24, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with first husband Brian McFadden, and Heidi, 18, and Max, 17, with second husband Mark Croft.

She also has 11-year-old daughter DJ, whose father is Kerry’s late third husband, George Kay.

A source told OK!: “Kerry feels like this is her last chance to have another baby.

“She absolutely adores her family and loves her children. She always talks about them – they’re her pride and joy and her priority.

“With Paulo, she really feels like she’s met her soulmate. He would like more kids too – it feels like they both want the same thing.”

Meanwhile, Kerry recently revealed her kids have been introduced Paolo’s two daughters and they are all getting on well.

She explained in her OK! column: “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.”

Kerry recently acknowledged the “big age gap” with her new man but insisted they have a special “connection.”

During an appearance on the Suddenly Single podcast, Kerry explained: “The guy I’m with now [Paolo], there’s 11 years between us. It’s a big age gap, and it’s not something I’ve deliberately gone for.

“If someone matches that energy and you have that connection, where every atom in your body goes on fire … I’ve never had that. It’s like being sucker punched in the stomach. I’ve got it now!

“I hope it works, but even if it doesn’t, I’ll never forget this feeling. You see me falling in love [on Celebs Go Dating]. Even if this ends tomorrow, I don’t think I’ll have a feeling like this every again.”
