Katie Price’s Honest Take on Her Exes: Revealing Who Wants Her to Fail and Who Can’t Get Over Her

A self-confessed open book – and the author of seven biographies – there’s not much the public don’t know about Katie Price.

But do you know her biggest regret? 

‘Eurovision!’ she initially quips with a twinkle in her eye, quickly followed up by, ‘and some of my men choices.’

Indeed, Katie’s relationships have been tabloid fodder for years. 

From three ill-fated marriages, to regretful flings and now, her new relationship with toyboy Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, the nation has watched on as Katie attempts to find ‘The One’. And with every new romance has come a trail of exes in her wake. 

Now, in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Katie has shared her verdict on them all, from the good to the bad and the ugly. 

Katie Price has delivered her no holds barred verdict on all of her exes, including who 'would love to see her downfall' and who is secretly 'still obsessed with her' in a chat with MailOnline

Perhaps her most famous relationship of all was with singer Peter Andre, 51.  

The couple married in 2006 after meeting on I’m A Celebrity two years prior and they went on to welcome son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 16. 

The pair were a fairytale couple, capturing the heart of the nation when they tied the knot in a ceremony that saw Katie arrive on a horse-drawn carriage in a bright pink wedding dress, complete with princess tiara.

Yet their relationship soon soured and by 2009 the pair had gone their separate ways.

Now, Katie admits she resents the way she’s perceived in comparison to him and has sat their children down to explain her side of the story. 

‘They know the truth, and that’s the thing’, Katie shares. ‘They know that their dad is never written about in a bad way. They know I’m always written about in a bad way. 

‘Their dad’s always the good, I’m always the bad, but they know the truth about everything.’

Asked if she thinks Peter or his inner circle also think she is seen as the ‘bad guy’, Katie is candid. 

‘I don’t think they really care what happens to me if I’m honest’, she explains. 

‘I don’t think they care. They’d love to see me fall. But I’m not. I’m on the rise. So be warned, everyone. She’s back, back in control and in power.

‘It’s about time because there’s been too many years. I’ve been bopped and bopped and bopped and now it’s like they’ve exhausted it. 

‘Now I’ve come up with a fresh head, strong mind, hungry for it all and I’m back…’

Katie continues: ‘I think things are changing now. I think, word of mouth, people are realising that I’ve changed. I’ve changed my mindset. 

‘I can’t control what people have written in the past. All I can do is just prove myself. I’m planning to get all my empire back. 

‘I’m just bored of reading all the negative stories. I’m bored of it and I think the public is starting to realise that.

‘It’s just attack, attack and attack. When they meet me or hear my podcast, they see me as a different person.’

MailOnline contacted Peter’s representatives for comment. 

It’s not just Peter that Katie parted ways with on frosty terms. 

In April, she was said to be furious with her ex-boyfriend Carl Woods after he met up with her former husband Kieran Hayler.  

Carl met up with Kieran to share Easter dinner with the Kieran’s agent, Kirsty, Kieran’s fiancé Michelle, and sons Valentino and Apollo. 

‘I’m just fed up with making Mr. Prices’, Katie explains. ‘I just call all my exes Mr. Prices. They all gang up together and then they all attack me. 

‘Really, I should be flattered because they’re that obsessed with me.

‘But they didn’t complain when they were with me, did they? So that’s what you’ve got to think about. I made them.

‘I wish they’d just get on with their own lives and just leave me alone. Because I’m getting on with mine.’

Katie's first public romance was with premier league footballer Dwight Yorke, in 2001, but they broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child Harvey (pictured in 2001)

Katie’s first public romance was with premier league footballer Dwight Yorke, in 2001, but they broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant with her eldest child Harvey.

Harvey, now 22, has autism, partial blindness and Prader-Willi Syndrome, and Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity. 

Last year, Katie revealed her mother Amy contacts Dwight’s manager each year on Harvey’s birthday to see if the retired footballer wants to see him – so far the answer has been no.

Following on from Dwight she thought she found her happy ending with Peter. 

But when that came to an end, and while she was on the ‘rebound’, Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 48, a mere eight weeks after their marriage ended.

Following a whirlwind romance the pair wed in Las Vegas in January 2010 but the marriage fell apart less than a year later.

Two years on, Katie fell for Argentinian model Leandro Penna, 37, after meeting him at Elton John’s Oscars party in LA.

Revealing she bedded him on the first night, the pair went on to get engaged before they split in 2012.

Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran, who is nine years her junior.

The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple’s first son Jett.

However, in 2017 the pair announced they were going to divorce, three years after she found out about Kieran’s affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas.

They share son Jett, 10 and daughter Bunny, nine. 

In July 2019, Katie announced she was engaged again to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 34, after a year of dating.

The reality star – who was still legally married to third husband Kieran at the time- made the shock announcement during an appearance on Loose Women.

Their engagement was short-lived however as the couple split in November of that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she cheated on him.

The reality star went on to find love with Carl in July 2020 and they became engaged the following year, before their on/off relationship eventually ended earlier this year.

Being a single mother-of-five means there’s barely a moment for Katie to take for herself, but she doesn’t have any regrets. 

In fact, she’d like to have even more children. 

Right now, Katie is dating Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31 – who last month professed his love for the glamour model.

The feeling is mutual. 

Katie is so sure of their six-month romance that she wants to have children with the reality star, but insists she’s in ‘no rush’ to make it happen.

‘Yes, I want more kids,’ she admits. ‘If I could get it with JJ, if he wants kids, but I’ve learned not to rush things in relationships. 

‘Before, I rushed marriages, rushed kids, rushed everything, and look what happened…

‘JJ is on the same wavelength as me. There’s no rush for anything. So, I’m not rushing anything. JJ is very calm, he just lets me get on with it. He understands me and just lets me be me.

Other than her choice in men, Katie says one of her biggest regrets of her career was trying to enter Eurovision back in 2005

Asked if she ever considered giving up on men completely, Katie admits: ‘ Yeah, because I’ve just been let down, but then I didn’t really know about healthy relationships. 

‘I’ve been in toxic relationships, being made to feel like a victim.

‘Being an independent woman, men find that hard and they put you down for it when there’s nothing wrong with it.’ 

Both Katie’s love life and personal life has been splashed over the papers for most of her life and she admits that she can be a lot to take on for prospective partners.

I come as a package,’ she explains with a shrug. ‘I’m not just what you read about.

‘You know, the glamour days, I love doing my photo shoots, it’s quite a lot for a man to put up with. 

‘But when they get to know me as a person, I’m just a normal down to earth girl. 

‘I have all this chaos that comes with me and it’s knowing how to manage things, manage your diary and manage your time.’

Katie has previously blamed the fathers of her children for her repeated rehab stints. 

Reflecting on her past romances, Katie explains: ‘I can help people in relationships. Knowing your boundaries. Knowing what domestic abuse is. Knowing what narcissist behaviour is. Knowing the red flags.

‘When it comes to relationships, I think I’m definitely an expert. I’ve done enough courses around it now to know red flags, start of domestic abuse, narcissistic behavior, and knowing your worth, your validation. 

‘I’ve learned so much that now I want to put into practise and help other people because I wish I knew all this stuff back then, it would have helped me in the past.’ 

Now, Katie wants to use her relationship experience to help other people and she is training to become a life coach. 

Her choice of mentor, however, is an interesting one.  

Dubbed the ‘Psychopath Life Coach’, Lewis Raymond Taylor has a history of violence, drug addiction and prison stints and has even been accused of running a cult. 

So why would you want advice from a man who has confessed he is a psychopath? 

It turns out millions do, and for good reason.

Lewis, 34, hosts his own podcast, Life Reclaimed, and had his life story featured in Netflix documentary, The Psychopath Life Coach, last year. 

Explaining where the name came from, he explains: ‘When I was 18, I was diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder, which is the clinical term that’s associated with psychopathy. 

‘So, I am technically a psychopath and I’m also a life coach. 

‘Neurodiversity is a marginalised part of society where people put this label of a “psychopath” on people when actually there’s a lot more to it. 

‘There’s a lot of people on this spectrum that have these antisocial personality traits and don’t always do things negatively. Sometimes they harness those skills for positives.’

Lewis met Katie last year when she appeared on his podcast and, like many, she was blown away by his life story. 

Nine years ago Lewis was convicted for the 11th time after punching a man so hard the victim had a mini-stroke and a bleed on his brain.

Having hit rock bottom, Lewis realised: ‘I was repeating the same cycles and doing the same things over and over again, expecting a different result. That’s the definition of insanity!

‘So for the first time, I started to take responsibility for myself and look at myself in the mirror and realise that if I wanted my life to change then I had to change.’

Less than a decade later, Lewis is the CEO of $25million life coaching business, The Coaching Masters, and became an overnight celebrity following the release of a Netflix documentary about his life.

It’s a transformation that impressed not just millions of viewers, but Katie too. 

‘You couldn’t make this up!’ Katie exclaims. ‘When you see his story, you would never ever think in a million years watching him in his younger days how he would turn things around.

‘He’s a prime example of how you can have a real s**t time and turn things around if you get yourself together and get the help that you need.’

Yet despite his newfound following, Lewis is not naïve to thinking people might question his life coaching career, or indeed Katie’s.

Lewis reasons: ‘I think a lot of people are going to be laughing and joking and saying, “how can a psychopath be a life coach? How can Katie Price be a life coach when she’s put herself in this situation and that situation?”

‘But you’ve got to think Katie’s been in the industry for decades, still inspiring people and still has millions of followers. It takes a lot of resilience to be able to do that. 

‘There will be a lot of people that have a lot of negative things to say, but there’ll also be a lot of people that have been inspired and empowered by Katie for decades now. 

‘She will make a very big difference to a lot of people because they will resonate and connect with her in a way that they won’t resonate and connect with anybody else.

‘So watch out, Katie Price is here to make a difference.’

The Real Husbands of Katie Price

In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here’s a look at the trio with whom she exchanged ‘I dos’… and ‘I don’ts’:

 

PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)

The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.

 

 

ALEX REID (2010 – 2012) 

40050290 9326641 image a 7 1614880106205

Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton’s 30th birthday party at London’s Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex ‘too soon’, she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.

 

 

KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)

40089508 9330749 image m 4 1614960113029

Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie’s world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their ‘amicable’ divorce was finalised in early 2021.
