Following his divorce from Kerry Katona, Brian was in a long-term relationship with Australian musician Delta Goodrem and he later married Vogue Williams in 2012, before the couple separated in 2015.

Earlier this year, McFadden said he wasn't keen on getting married again anytime soon, but admitted to feeling broody after his sister recently welcomed a new baby.

"I'm absolutely obsessed with her daughter," he gushed to Closer Magazine. "I'd love more kids. I love my two girls, but I'd love to have small kids again now."
