Jameson previously battled homelessness during his teenage years after fleeing his abusive household when he was just 13.
He told IOL in October: ‘Before I turned 16, I managed to land a job at a Marco Pierre White restaurant. The kitchen was bustling with several now-acclaimed chefs.
‘A chef named Brendon Collins played a pivotal role in helping me escape the streets, allowing me to focus on my career.
‘After about a year, I moved to Marco Pierre White’s 3-star Michelin restaurant, The Oak Room, where I was able to work with the remarkable team at Quo Vadis, including South Africa’s best chef Peter Tempelhoff, who provided me with invaluable lessons.’
Jameson has also offered insight into his life as a single parent to two sons, and previously shared that he fought for his eldest son Jaxon to attend a mainstream school after he was diagnosed with autism at the age of three.
He added: ‘To this day, Jaxon remains in mainstream school and has never struggled. In fact, he has thrived; he actively participates in team sports and is popular among his classmates.
‘Being a single father is the most fulfilling role I’ve ever embraced, particularly coming from a broken home with limited parental support. It has become my mission in life to be an exemplary role model for my two sons.’
A representative for Kerry insisted that the pair are ‘just friends.’ MailOnline has contacted a representative for Jameson Stocks for comment.

Jameson previously enjoyed a whirlwind three-month romance with Jo Wood back in 2023, with sources claiming at the time the model was ‘smitten’ with the chef.
Jo, who was married to Ronnie Wood for 24 years, spoke publicly about their blossoming romance during an interview at the time.
She said: ‘He’s lovely. We met at the IKON Awards and he started writing to me on Instagram. Right now we’re just enjoying hanging out.
‘We’ve been to dinner a couple of times but we’re just friends. If we do properly start dating, I want women to know you can be any age.
‘It’s all right for men to do it the other way round. Who’s flying the flag for us women to do the same?’
Kerry, is a mother to Molly, 23, Lilly, 23, from her marriage to Brian McFadden, Heidi, 17, and Max, 16, with second husband Mark Croft and youngest child, DJ, 10, with her late husband, George Kay.
Earlier this month, Kerry shared that she’s ‘not heartbroken anymore’ following her split from Ryan, after realising he wasn’t the right man for her.
Writing in her column for New! Magazine, she said: ‘I’m feeling really good going into 2025 – it’s going to be a great year. I’m not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn’t the one for me.
‘I’m a single woman and am in the best relationship of my life, which is with myself. I know people do things like dry January and diets, but I don’t drink much anyway and like to work on myself every day, so I’m not into any of that.’
Since the split, she has been focusing on playing the wicked step-sister alongside Katie Price in a production of Cinderella in Cheshire.
However, a fresh blow saw Kerry’s online clothing boutique shut down and get struck off the register at Companies House.

She launched the business, called Kerry’s Boutique, back in 2020 and it quickly became a big success.
However, according to new documents filed to Companies House, the business was dissolved ‘via compulsory strike-off’ on Christmas Eve.
The document details the ‘strike-off date of the company’ as December 17 and the dissolution date of the company as December 24.
A representative for Kerry reportedly told The Sun: ‘Kerry didn’t have time in her schedule to run Kerry’s Boutique. Anything related to the closing down of the company is her business partner’s responsibility and nothing to do with Kerry.’
Before this, on November 12, the compulsory strike-off action was ‘temporarily suspended’ with a document revealing that an ‘objection to the striking off was received by the Registrar.’
In October, the business received a warning that Kerry’s brand’s ᴀssets could be seized by the taxman as they stated that the business’ latest accounts were overdue.
The brand was first ssued with a First Gazette which notified Kerry that steps were in place to potentially strike off the business from the register.
The document, filed on October 8, read: ‘The Registrar of Companies gives notice that, unless cause is shown to the contrary, the Company will be struck off the register and dissolved not less than two months from the date shown above.
She penned: ‘I’m feeling really good going into 2025 – it’s going to be a great year. I’m not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn’t the one for me’
‘Upon the Company’s dissolution, all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, the Company are deemed to be bona vacantia, and will belong to the Crown.’
It came after Kerry shared an emotional message with fans as she reflected on a tough year following her split from Ryan.
Looking tearful, the former Atomic Kitten singer said: ‘Things seem to be getting crazier and crazier.
‘The main thing is I have amazing children, I have my health and I have the most wonderful and surprising friends around me for support.
‘I never thought 2024 would’ve ended like this. Never. But there you go.’
Atomic Smitten: Kerry’s Ex Factor
While Kerry Katona has much to celebrate with the joyous news that she’s taking another trip down the aisle, her road to romantic bliss has been quite the rocky one. The Warrington native has already made three trips down the aisle, with each marriage coming to a tumultuous end. And with a handful of relationships in between, it’s fair to say that the star now deserves her sH๏τ at happily ever after. Below is a list of the star’s marriages and relationships.
BRIAN McFADDEN (1999-2004)
It was a match made in pop heaven when Kerry and BrianMcFadden met while their respective bands, Atomic Kitten and Westlife, toured together in 1999. Such a whirlwind was their romance that Brian proposed within three months of the pair getting together and they welcomed their daughter Molly in 2001. A lavish celebrity wedding followed in 2002, and a year later, they welcomed their second daughter, Lily-Sue. But, alas, it wasn’t meant to be, as in 2004 the couple announced their separation amid allegations Brian had cheated on Kerry with a lapdancer. Heartbroken Kerry was granted a quickie divorce.
DAN CORSI (2004)
Kerry very briefly got back together with her ex, Dan Corsi, who she first dated in 1998. During their time together, they visited Kerry’s native Warrington and were also seen partying up a storm at London H๏τspot-of-the-moment Pangaea. Dan boasted about bedding the star, saying: ‘Spending the night with Kerry was all I hoped it would be. I thought she’d find it hard to be with someone else after being with Brian for five years, but it felt natural.’ However, friends reportedly feared that Dan was just cashing in on Kerry’s fame, amid reports he still lived with his ex, while simultaneously texting another former flame. It took just six weeks of rekindled romance before Kerry, feeling that it was too soon after the breakdown of her marriage to embark on another relationship, reportedly dumped Dan over the phone. Surprisingly, her ex-husband Brian publicly shared his opinions on Dan, telling The Mirror at the time: ‘I’ve known him for a while and I know he’s not the one for her. I don’t want her to get hurt. Despite everything that’s gone on, I just want her to be happy.’
DAVE CUNNINGHAM (2005)
In huge contrast to her glitzy showbiz marriage, Kerry embarked on a romance with her former childhood sweetheart, Dave Cunningham, with the couple announcing their engagement in 2005. However, it wasn’t long before their relationship hit the rocks, with the pair getting into a furious row while holidaying in Spain, amid rumours Dave had been seeing his ex-girlfriend behind her back. A source told People at the time: ‘Kerry is devastated. After everything she has gone through this year she truly believed Dave could be her saviour. Then the shocking revelations about his ex emerged.’
MARK CROFT (2005-2010)
Six weeks after her split, Kerry was swept off her feet by taxi driver Mark Croft. He proposed in 2006 after just six weeks of dating, and they tied the knot on Valentine’s Day 2007. Their marriage produced two children: daughter Heidi and son Maxwell. However, the union came about during a tumultuous time in Kerry’s life, as she watched her fortune (which once peaked at £6.8million) dwindle to the point that she was declared bankrupt. During her marriage, she also made her infamous appearance on ITV’s This Morning, where her slurred speech prompted concern among viewers. She ultimately admitted to a cocaine addiction, as she confessed: ‘I hated my life. I’d lie in bed for three days in a row doing cocaine with Mark. We did coke in our en suite and had a lock on the door. The kids knew if the bathroom door was locked they mustn’t come in.’ After having even considered suicide during their marriage, the couple split in 2010. Mark would later admit that he ‘bled Kerry dry’ during their ill-fated relationship.
LUCIEN LAVISCOUNT (2011)
She also dated Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount 12 years ago. Lucien and Kerry met during their time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011, when he was 19 at the time and she was 31. At the time, Lucien described Kerry as ‘amazing’, adding: ‘When I’m with her, I don’t feel like there’s an age gap at all.’ Back then, Kerry dubbed them ‘friends with benefits’, later admitting they called it quits because “I would never want to take his childhood away from him!” 12 years after their whirlwind romance, Kerry broke her silence on their viral relationship as she branded Lucien ‘charming’ and ‘talented’. She told OK! Magazine recently: ‘Apparently my OK! magazine cover from 2011 with my former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lucien Laviscount has gone viral on social media! ‘Lucien was very charming and obviously easy on the eye, and it was all just a bit of fun.’
STEVE ALCE (2012)
Kerry famously dated artist Steve Alce back in 2012 and said she was going to marry him just weeks into their relationship. After meeting at a glitzy sports dinner in, he moved into her Cheshire home just a couple of months later. But less than a year later the fast-moving romance was over. She sensationally dumped lover Steve because he was ‘too boring’. The reality star clashed with artist Steve and booted him out of her house branding him ‘too reliable and dull’. A friend told The People: Kerry was smitten at first, she loved that he wasn’t interested in all the celebrity glitz and glamour.’
DAN FODEN (2012)
Kerry couldn’t believe her luck when she bagged a date with hunky Take Me Out contestant Dan Foden that same year, but within weeks their relationship was over. She told a friend back then: ‘I can’t believe I’ve pulled him. He’s ᴅᴇᴀᴅ fit he’s gorgeous. He’s got plenty of money, and the best part is he has no kids and no ex-wife.’ But game show contestant Dan struggled with having his life in the public eye and hinted that their relationship was moving too fast.
GEORGE KAY (2012-2017)
It appeared that a change of fortune was on the cards for Kerry 2012, when she met George Kay, who at the time was working as her driver. Sparks flew between the pair, prompting former rugby player George to pop the question at the top of Blackpool Tower in April 2013. exactly one year later, more joy was brought into their home when Kerry gave birth to their daughter Dylan-Jorge. A trip down the aisle followed in September 2014, and it seemed that Kerry had finally found the elusive One. But trouble entered their relationship just two months after the wedding, when George was hospitalised after showing ‘signs of a stroke’, leaving Kerry struggling to cope. Her struggles in dealing with George’s behaviour led to the couple splitting, though they would eventually get back together and renew their wedding vows. However, things would eventually come to a complete end in 2017, amid accusations of domestic violence on George’s part. But the heartbreak didn’t end there, as in July 2019, George unexpectedly pᴀssed away aged 39.
JAMES ENGLISH (2017)
It took just weeks for the star to embark on a new relationship following her spit from George. Showing she was a woman of the times, Kerry went Instagram official with her handsome new boyfriend James English in 2017. And while the numerous posts of herself spending time with the Scottish comedian were shared on social media, the pair soon quietly went their separate ways within just two months. In fact, their split was so quiet that it wasn’t noticed until the star spoke about being a singleton once again.
RYAN MAHONEY (2018 – present)
Kerry met personal trainer Ryan in 2018 after they matched on the dating app Bumble. The pair briefly called it quits following a make-or-break trip to Thailand, but rekindled their romance in 2019.
After spending much of the Covid lockdown together, Ryan proposed to Kerry in 2021, and they’re still going strong with a wedding on the horizon.
