Kerry Katona has slammed a’sexist’ double standard in parenting after actor Jude Law allegedly welcomed his seventh kid.
The former Atomic Kitten singer has five children from three different men.
Meanwhile, the Fantastic Beasts star is reportedly the father of seven children by four different women.
Despite their comparable parenting and familial situations, Kerry, 42, insists Jude has been handled differently.
‘Jude Law has reportedly become a father again, making him a dad-of-seven by four mums – I didn’t even realise he had so many kids!’ she said.
‘It’s lovely news, but I do think that men are treated differently to women.
‘I doubt he would be labelled as a ‘7×4 dad’, whereas I’ve received a lot of crap for being a ‘5×3 mum’ in the past,’ she wrote in her new! magazine column, as reported by OK!.
Last week, actor Jude, 50, was seen with his wife Phillipa Coan and two little children being carried in buggies as they marched through Heathrow airport, with one appearing to be no older than a baby.
This has fueled conjecture that he and psychologist Phillipa had two children together.
He and Phillipa married in 2019 and had their first child, Phillipa’s first and Jude’s sixth, a year later.
He also has five more children from three other relationships.
Before their 2003 divorce, the actor married actress Sadie Frost and welcomed son Rafferty, now 27, daughter Iris, 22, and second son Rudy, now 20.
After a brief romance with American model Samantha Burke, Jude welcomed his fourth kid, Sophia, now 13 years old, in 2009.
His sixth child, Ada, was born in 2015, following another brief romance with singer Catherine Harding, commonly known as Cat Cavelli.
Meanwhile, Kerry has two children with her first husband, Westlife singer Brian McFadden: Mollie, 21, and Lilly Sue, 20, as well as Heidi, 16, and Max, 14, with ex Mark Croft and Dylan-Jorge, eight, with late ex George Kay.
She is presently engaged to 34-year-old Ryan Mahoney.
In her piece she added that she was ‘proud of all’ she had done for her children, as the one ‘raising them up’.
Kerry also just apologised to Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury for making fun of their decision to name their infant daughter Bambi.
‘I was trying to be a comedian and sometimes when you combine the two it doesn’t come across very well,’ she said on Instagram, admitting she had came out as a ‘t*t’ for criticising the name.
‘Bambi Fury is a great name.’
Kerry expressed her regret, saying that it had’really played on my mind’ and that she would ‘never want to drag somebody down.’
