Bold, glamorous, unabashed, and occasionally blatant, Katie Price is a celebrity who has long thrived on her ability to start a media circus or two. The model, entrepreneur, television personality, and author has been running her multi-faceted career for over two decades, making it a multi-million-dollar brand before falling flat on her face and going bankrupt.
It hasn’t been long since the multi hyphenated star started afresh, scooping what’s little left of her wealth and stardom and bettering it from left to right. Born on May 22, 1978, in Brighton, East Sussex, England, Price knew of her glitzy future from the start.
“Even at school I was an exhibitionist and told everyone I was going to be on TV,” says the model in her latest interview. At 18, she was featured on Sun’s page 3. It wasn’t long before Price garnered her notorious reputation for undergoing surgically enhanced procedures, bold shoots, and opening her personal life for the mass entertainment.
Everything to Know About Katie Price's First of Three Failed Marriages!
As a young kid, Katie imagined herself to be a pop star and though the dream evaporated as the model found her calling in many places, except music industry, she made up for it by marrying a singer. Price married singer and television personality Peter Andre in 2005.
Almost Everything about the former couple’s journey was made accessible to the public, from their meet cute, awkward love triangle as Katie had been dating Scott Sullivan, their whirlwind romance, and their bitter divorce. The former Sun model met Peter when they both partook in the famous reality show, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2004.
Price went by her infamous pseudonym, Jordan, at the time, and as for Andre, he had cemented a reputable singing career with his top-charting singles like I Feel you, and Flava. The duo hastily stepped into a very public romance and got hitched in a fairytale wedding within a year of knowing each other.
The couple tied the knot on September 10, 2005, in Highclere Castle, the home of Downton Abbey, in Hampshire. The then-newly married also became one of the first celebrities to let camera into their conjugal life. Katie and Peter documented the highs and lows of their marriage in their reality TV show Katie & Peter, and several more series, including When Jordan Met Peter, and Laid Bare and Jordan & Peter.
They welcomed two kids, Junior and Princes, during their short-lived marriage. Andre was also a stepfather to Price’s first son, Harvey, from her previous relationship with football player Dwight Yorke.
The duo announced their split in May 2009 and what follows were bitter events of public fallout, with the estranged couple playing blame game. While Katie accused Peter of lambasting her party lifestyle, Andre hinted at infidelity on Katie’s part, an accusation she vehemently denied.
More drama ensued as the pair covered the tattoos of each other’s name which they had gotten during their gushy period and went as far as airing each other’s dirty laundry. Katie and Peter’s divorce was finalized in September 2009. Andre has since married and welcomed two more kids with Dr. Emily MacDonagh.
Inside Katie Price's Last Two Marriages!
Most people have rebound relationships, but Price doesn't hesitate to jump extra steps and going on with rebound marriage. Just a month after announcing her split from Andre, the entrepreneur started dating MMA fighter Alex Reid, whom she eventually married on Feb 2, 2010.
The duo’s relationship ended just as fast as it had started, with the spouses calling it quits in January 2011. And although the marriage ended after a short stint, the two were embroiled in a lengthy legal battle for years. Reid had sued Katie at a certain point for allegedly sharing explicit graphics of him to an audience of celebrity’s big brother.
The former MMA fighter eventually won the case against him ex-wife and was awarded £250,000 from Price, an amount Reid says he is yet to received. “I didn’t know what planet I was on. I was like a lamb to the slaughter,” Alex recently said while recalling his press famous relationship with Katie.
The model-turned-reality star married her third husband, Kieran Hayler, who is 10 years her junior, in March 2013. Hayler’s name has gone down in the history for being married Katie Price the longest, but it still wasn’t a steady ride. The duo had a tumultuous run as Hayler cheated on Katie after the two welcomed two kids, Jett, and Bunny.
The couple escaped the near divorce proceedings after Hayler came out as a sex addict and agreed to get treated. But when Katie discovered Kieran’s extra marital affairs with other women, the model decided the revelation to be the last nail on coffin. The aftermath of their split was again a repetition of the past, horrifying claims, nasty press, and bad parenting accusations.
Is Katie Price Getting Married Again?
The Celebrity Big Brother alum may not be gearing up to walk down the aisle again, but who is to say that the wedding bells won’t ring for a while. Price recently went official with Married at First Sight star, JJ Slater. The two first sparked dating rumors earlier this month after being spotted on a date.
“They say things happen for a reason, the unexpected happened. Fate. Ticks every box,” the model wrote on a loved-up post of herself with JJ. Katie also called JJ “a real gentlemen” in her caption. The Married at first sight star also seems as head over heels for his notorious girlfriend as he also made a gushy post on his Instagram.
“Sometimes it’s when you least expect it,” wrote JJ. Katies fans have seemingly had it with the model’s repeated pattern at time point. A host of users commented wearily on Price’s post, with one writing, “here we go again” and another commenting, “Not again. ‘The One.’”
The Loose Women star was in an on-off relationship with Carl woods, with whom she got engaged in July 2022. Price was also briefly engaged to Kris Boyson in 2019.
