Brian and Kerry feud update: The pair have taken to Twitter again
Despite having two daughters together, he's publicly dismissed their nuptials.
Indeed, Brian McFadden, 35, has called his short-lived marriage to Kerry Katona, 34, "shambolic," further stating that he had "no idea" what he was doing when they said their vows in early 2002 in Co. Meath.
But the former Westlife singer himself was happy to extend the olive branch today, reaching out to Ms Katona's current and third husband, George Kay.
Wishing him a happy Father's Day, he thanked the 35-year-old former rugby-player for "keeping our family together".
Happy Father's Day @mrgsjkay thanks for keeping our family together! Your a great man

George was quick to respond, telling Brian it was a "joint effort". "The girls are lucky to have 2 good men they can call dad," he added, signing off his message with a kiss.
@BrianMcFadden happy Father's Day buddy.. It's a joint effort.. The girls are lucky to have 2 good men they can call dad. See you soon pal x

Ms Katona retweeted both messages, and had earlier in the day declared her own admiration for Mr Kay's parenting skills.
Happy Father's Day to my wonderful amazing hubby! You really are the best dad ever xxx @mrgsjkay xx

As well as sharing custody of daughters Molly and Lily-Sue with Mr McFadden, Kerry has two children, Heidi and Max, with her second husband Mark Croft. Her fifth child, daughter DJ Rose, whose father is George, was born in April 2014.
A year ago, Vogue Williams, 29, who married Brian in September 2012 in Italy, had seemed dismissive of her predecessor.
She told the Irish Independent that Kerry "really isn't part of our lives. I don't know her. I've never met her. I never will".
However, Ms Williams said in a further interview with the same newspaper earlier this year that her relationship with Kerry was "fine".
"I'm not really one to be looking for an argument or getting all confrontational with anyone anyway – and these days regardless there is no confrontation or argument to have with Kerry," she explained.
