But the former Atomic Kitten singer and the personal trainer sparked split rumours earlier this year when she moved in with her mum,
Kerry also revealed in July that they had cancelled their plans to tie the knot in Las Vegas.
The star had remained quiet on her love life in recent months, but she has now broken her silence on the relationship.
Kerry spoke out while visting her sick mum Sue in hospital, after Sue was rushed to A&E with blood clots found in her lungs.

Kerry shared an update on Sue with her followers this week, telling them the doctor had been to visit Sue on the ward.
One fan cracked a joke in the comments on Instagram, writing: “So much love to you both, and is the Dr single?”
Kerry typed back to the fan: “No, but I am!”
The Sun has contacted Kerry’s representative for comment.
It comes as mum-of-five Kerry opened up about plans to marry Ryan, but later revealed she felt “unsupported” by her younger fiancé.
She said her eldest daughters Lilly-Sue and Molly – who she shares with ex-husband Brian McFadden – insisted they wanted to be there, and so the Las Vegas wedding was off.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Kerry said: “Ryan and I were looking to go to Vegas to finally get married but Molly and Lilly said, ‘Don’t you dare do that without us’.
“I told them they’d already been at too many of my weddings! That put those plans on the backburner.”
Kerry later had surgery on her nose after years of drug abuse left her at risk of it collapsing.
The gruelling operation saw surgeons take a piece of her rib to rebuild her nose.
Following the operation she confessed to feeling “unsupported” by Ryan.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: “I want to say a massive thank you to my mum, who has been my rock during the last couple of weeks.
“I’ve been staying at hers and she’s really looked after me.
“If I’m honest, I’ve felt more lonely than ever during my recovery. Ryan was away getting a tattoo in London when I went into hospital and I haven’t seen him since my surgery over a week ago.
Kerry’s relationship timeline
Kerry started dating Ryan in 2018 and their wedding would have been her fourth time time walking down the aisle.
Kerry married Westlife singer Brian McFadden when she was 21 – and had two daughters Molly and Lilly. They split two years later.
In 2007 the singer married taxi driver Mark Croft, the father of her children Max and Heidi, but their marriage was over by 2011.
Her third husband, George Kay, tragically died in 2019, leaving behind their daughter DJ. They split in 2017.
“That upset me, because it made me feel unsupported and I could have done with the emotional support.
“I’m always the ‘strong mum’ in our house and this week I really wanted to be looked after and have him here, but I had my mum instead.”
Ryan got down in on one knee on holiday in Spain while celebrating Kerry’s 40th birthday.
Ryan popped the question after asking Kerry’s five children, Molly, Lilly, Heidi, Max, and DJ, for their blessing.
Kerry’s health update
Kerry, who has been drug-free for 14 years, revealed on Good Morning Britain earlier this year that she would sniffle and struggle to breathe because her nose was slowly collapsing.
A surgeon advised Kerry she needed surgery as she had a hole in her nose.
She shot to fame when she was a teenager after she had already survived a traumatic childhood and her mum’s issues with addiction.
The former I’m A Celebrity star had surgery at Pall Mall Medical surgery under surgeon Dr Raghavan, and she said she has finally closed the door on that chapter in her life.
“It started with my second marriage, you lie down with dogs you get fleas,” Kerry told Richard Madeley and co-presenter Ranvir Singh.
She went on: “Cocaine was my friend it was my crutch.
“I wasn’t taking it every day I was a binger. When I started I couldn’t stop, I could go a while without it.
“It became my best friend because everyone was using me.”
Kerry added: “Before I was famous, the first drug I took was with my mum. My mum wasn’t really a mum. She gave me speed telling me it was sherbet.”
A stunned Richard Madeley asked Kerry to repeat what she’d said, and she continued: “My mum wasn’t well, I can’t sit with regret, with hate. My mum is drug-free.
“For a very long time, I was a victim, why me? But I have to hold my hands up.
“I OD’d at one point and got up and took another line of cocaine straight away.”
