Kerry Katona Says She’ll Stay on OnlyFans “Long Into Retirement” — And Teases a Nearly-70 Star Ready to Join the Platform
By Linh Nguyen · December 7, 2025
Kerry Katona has never been one to shy away from reinvention — but her latest declaration has stunned even her longtime fans. The former Atomic Kitten singer, now 45, says she has no plans whatsoever to step away from OnlyFans… not even when she reaches retirement age.
And if that wasn’t surprising enough, she also revealed that a well-known celebrity “pushing 70” is seriously considering joining the subscription-based platform — and has reached out to her privately for guidance.
While she refused to reveal a name, Kerry promises the reveal will “shock everyone.”
From Pandemic Side Hustle to a Long-Term Career
Kerry first launched her OnlyFans account in 2020 during the height of the COVID lockdowns. At the time, it was a necessity — a way to earn income after years of financial instability, two bankruptcies, and the collapse of her TV work during the pandemic.
But what started as a short-term solution became one of the most profitable moves of her entire career.
In interviews and podcasts over the last year, Kerry has openly acknowledged that she earned over £175,000 in her very first month alone — and has made “millions and millions” since.
To her, the platform provided security when she had none.
“It changed everything for me financially,” she has said.
“I could pay bills, rebuild my life, and stand on my own two feet again.”
“I’m Not Stopping — Even When I Hit Retirement Age”
In her latest magazine column, Kerry doubled down on the future of her adult-content career:
“People think I’ll quit when I get older — but why would I? If I still feel empowered and I’m earning ridiculous money, why stop?”
She added that she views OnlyFans as a celebration of autonomy — especially for older women often overlooked by traditional entertainment industries.
“Women my age should feel sexy, confident, independent — not pushed aside.”
What she doesn’t want, however, is for her own children to enter the world of adult content.
“My life, my rules — but I definitely wouldn’t let my kids anywhere near it,” she added, laughing.
A Nearly-70 Star Wants In — And Kerry Is Helping
One of the biggest bombshells in Kerry’s recent writing was the revelation that a “very famous” celebrity in their late 60s has reached out to her, interested in joining OnlyFans.
While she refused to name them, Kerry hinted that:
-
They’re a household name
-
They’re not traditionally associated with adult content
-
Their decision will “get everyone talking”
She promised more details “very soon.”
The internet is already buzzing with guesses — with fan theories ranging from former soap stars to retired singers to ex-reality TV icons.
From Bankruptcy to a Financial Comeback Story
Kerry’s journey has been turbulent.
-
She lost her £1.25 million home in 2008 after failing to pay a large tax bill.
-
She was declared bankrupt again in 2013.
-
She admitted in interviews that she reached a mental breaking point, even contemplating suicide during her darkest years.
OnlyFans became the unexpected turning point.
“It gave me the chance to rebuild my life. I’ll forever be grateful for it.”
And she fully intends to protect the financial stability she’s worked so hard to create.
Life With Her New Partner Paolo
Kerry is currently dating 33-year-old personal trainer Paolo Margaglione, whom she met during Celebs Go Dating. The couple has been inseparable, even attending events in London where they were seen kissing passionately.
Their relationship hasn’t been without unexpected drama — including Kerry’s fourth breast enlargement surgery earlier this year, which resulted in ruptured stitches after she became intimate too soon post-operation.
She later joked:
“Lesson learned — listen to your doctor, not your hormones!”
She credits Paolo with being “nothing but supportive,” especially during her recovery.
Why Kerry Says She Isn’t Ashamed — and Others Shouldn’t Be Either
Despite criticism from some corners of the media, Kerry remains unapologetic about her decision to stay on OnlyFans.
In her own words:
“I’m confident. I’m empowered. I’m earning more than I ever have.
Why should I be ashamed?”
She says OnlyFans allowed her to reclaim control over her finances, her image, and her life after decades of being judged by tabloids and exploited by the entertainment industry.
She sees her continued presence on the platform not as desperation — but as liberation.
What Comes Next?
With a nearly-70 celebrity gearing up to join her, Kerry hints that a new era of older stars embracing adult subscription platforms may be beginning.
For now, she’s staying tight-lipped — but promises the reveal will make headlines.
And if her track record is anything to go by…
She’s right.
