The former singer has claimed that they are ‘just pals’ but the couple are being spotted together more frequently and it looks like the cuddles may be more than those of two friends.
Now it looks like Kerry Katona’s growing romance with toyboy and male model Jonny Laidler may be heating up after she introduced the male model to her mother Sue, and he begins to upload photos of them together.
The pair were spotted looking cosy in a London pub earlier this month too.
According to Reveal magazine, Leeds-born Jonny and Kerry also spent the night at Sue’s house on another date.
A source told the magazine: “They turned up at Sue’s house in the early hours of the morning and snuck out early the next day so they wouldn’t be spotted.”
Jonny posted a photo of himself and “gal pal” Kerry on his Twitter.
Kerry was first photographed cosying up to Jonny at the OK! Magazine summer party last month.
Last week, the mother-of-four spoke out and said; “Jonny’s a lovely lad and we’ve had a real laugh, but he’s 24 and I’m 31. I’m not looking for a relationship.”
A source told Reveal that Kerry will not want to rush into romance following her recent split from live-in boyfriend, Steve Alce, after nine months together.
The pair hang out with friends in London.
The friend said: “Kerry plans to play it cool and not move him into her house. For now, both of them are looking at this as a casual thing, though Kerry definitely wants it to progress.”
With four children and two ex-husbands, Kerry is understandably wary of settling down again too fast. The reality television star has admitted she rushes into relationship and has promised to slow down with her next romance.
Katona has previously been married to Irish singer Brian McFadden, from 2002 to 2004, and taxi driver Mark Croft, from 2007 to 2010.
