    Brian McFadden has married for a third time

    The former Westlife singer - who was previously wed to singer Kerry Katona from 2002 to 2006, and later god engaged to Delta Goodrem before marrying model Vogue Williams in 2012, only to separate three years later - has tied the knot with Danielle Parkinson after nine years together


    The couple, who are parents to Ruby, four, were joined by friends and family including Brian and Kerry's daughters Molly, 23, and Lilly, 22, at the nuptials on Lusty Glaze Beach in Newquay on Saturday (05.07.25).

    Both Brian and Danielle have shared photos and videos from the wedding on their Instagram accounts, showing their matching white outfits, as well as sharing photos from their guests on their Instagram Stories.

    The 46-year-old pop star proposed to the PE teacher in 2019 and the couple originally planned to marry in 2021, but pushed back their plans by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    And they then decided to further delay the wedding until their daughter was old enough to join in and guests could mingle freely without worrying about social distancing.

    Speaking to OK! magazine, in June 2021 after the first postponement: "We've moved it again. We were meant to get married in South Africa this coming January but with Covid and Ruby only being nine months old by then, it could be difficult.

    "So we've put it back another year to 2023.

    "Ruby will be walking by then and hopefully the world will be in a different state, and people won't have to worry about testing and isolating as we're having 50 guests."

    Brian recently admitted he regrets not being around much for his eldest daughters when they were young.

    In an interview with Closer magazine, he said: "I was only a kid myself when I had Molly and Lilly, and I was at the height of my career in Westlife then - we were literally working 365 days a year, and there was no FaceTime so I couldn't speak to the kids.

    "I could only see them when I came home. So it was a lot harder and I missed out on a lot of the stuff that I would have loved to have seen with the girls."

    He revealed things are very different with his youngest girl - and he's determined to be a hands-on father.

    He added: "With Ruby, I have a lot more time so I can be at home and be a hands-on dad.

    "It's the only thing I like about modern technology, that I can speak to all my children now whenever I want - which is a luxury we didn't have in the past."
