Katie Price has reportedly lost at least £2 million through her multiple high-profile divorces. The 48-year-old former glamour model is currently on her fourth marriage and has stated that her former partners have “bled her dry” financially.
Current Marriage Troubles
Price is facing a rocky time with her current husband, Lee Andrews. He is reportedly detained in a Dubai prison over civil matters. Price has firmly refused to pay the £140,000 bail required for his release, saying: “I’ll never give a man money, I’ve done it all my life.” Since she declared him “missing” last month, the marriage has reportedly hit rocky waters.
Previous Marriages
Peter Andre
Peter Andre and Katie split up in 2009, four-and-a-half years after meeting on reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! They have two children together, while Peter was also the adoptive father of Price’s son, Harvey, from a previous relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke. Legal costs and settlements following their bitter split are thought to have cost her millions, including an estimated £3.81 million in legal fees alone. She also agreed to pay him libel damages in 2011 after making false claims about him. Peter started defamation proceedings in 2009 over interviews she gave to Heat magazine and The Graham Norton Show.
Alex Reid
In July 2009, Katie began dating MMA fighter and actor Alex Reid. They married in February 2010 in a private ceremony at Wynn Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The couple separated in January 2011 and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. This divorce was particularly costly, with Katie reportedly paying a £1 million settlement and accruing £500,000 in legal fees in a single year.
Kieran Hayler
In January 2013, Katie married her third husband, Kieran Hayler, at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa in the Bahamas, after Hayler proposed on Christmas Day 2012. The couple had two children together – Jett and Bunny. In May 2014, Katie accused her then-husband of having an extramarital affair and announced she was beginning divorce proceedings. They reconciled at that time and renewed their vows several times. Then, in May 2018, Katie announced she was starting divorce proceedings once more. Speaking about the costs, Hayler told the press: “We did it all online. We used an online divorce company, so I found them, I paid for it, got it all set up and all Katie had to do was sign the paperwork, and send it back. If I was to ever recommend any couple that is amicable, get a divorce online because it saves you thousands! I’m not even joking, it didn’t cost any more than £500, because there was no legal battle. We share custody of the children and we arranged that ourselves, and we do stick to it. I said to her, I will be the only person that doesn’t take any money from you because that’s not who I am, I don’t want her money.”
