Katie Price 'on hunt' for next boyfriend as Princess 'forced to intervene'
Katie Price 'on hunt' for next boyfriend as Princess intervenes

Katie Price is reportedly already looking for her next boyfriend just two weeks after confirming her split from fourth husband Lee Andrews, with insiders saying she is operating a strict 'toyboys only policy' for her next match.

The former glamour model, 48, who split from Andrews, 43, earlier this month, is said to be on the lookout for a much younger man. A source told the Mirror: "Kate hates being single, it's just the way she's wired. She's been burned by the situation with Lee but instead of staying on her own for a bit, she's on the prowl. She doesn't want someone older again, she jokes that wrinkles are the absolute turn off."

Princess Andre's concerns

However, insiders say Price's daughter, Princess Andre, is concerned about her mother dating again so soon after the marriage ended. In February, Princess, 19, called her mum 'crazy' following her whirlwind romance with Lee, but said: "If she's happy, I'm happy."

The source added: "All Princess wants is for her mum to be happy, but given that Kate is actively looking for a relationship, she felt the right thing was to say something. Out of love for her mum, she felt forced to intervene and warn her not to rush into anything too soon. She also tried to encourage her mum to think about the person not just their age, but how compatible they might be and what type of person they are."

History of younger partners

In June, Price's stepdad, Paul Price, spoke about her need to be in a relationship in a documentary for Sky. He said: "She can never be on her own. She's always got to have a man."

Before falling for Lee - who is currently in prison in Dubai for the second time this year - Price was in a relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 33, for two years. She has also previously had a three-year on/off relationship with Carl Woods, 37, and dated Kris Boyson, 37, and Charles Drury, 29.

Price has described her relationship with first husband, Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre, who is 16 years her senior, as "the best time of her life".

On the hunt

The source added: "There's always someone Kate is DM-ing or sending flirty messages to, but she's upped the ante and is on the hunt. She's a single woman now and thinks she deserves some happiness and fun, although she knows herself she falls in love fast. She's in contact with a few reality stars she's had flings with before and footballers - that's her ultimate goal - to date someone famous and younger."

The Mirror has approached a representative for Princess Andre for comment.
