Katie Price and Peter Andre have issued a joint statement vowing never to speak about each other publicly again, ending 17 years of animosity that followed their split in 2009. The former couple, who co-parent children Junior and Princess, have lived their relationship in the public eye, from their I'm A Celebrity romance to a bitter break-up marred by infidelity accusations.
The truce comes after their most recent row, which began last summer when Price accused Andre and his management of preventing her from being involved in Princess's ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries. On her podcast, Price claimed she was 'very, very upset' at not being allowed to take part and criticised The CAN Group, who manage Princess's career despite previously representing Price before her split from Andre.
Price said she felt 'very disrespected' as a mother, alleging she had been excluded from photoshoots and signings. She appealed for a sit-down meeting with Andre and his team, stating: 'Life would be much more at peace.' Andre responded furiously on Instagram, saying he had stayed silent for 16 years out of respect for his children but that the latest comments about his children's management were 'the final straw.'
The CAN Group responded at the time, stating their duty of care to clients is paramount and they have never stopped anyone seeing their families. The argument escalated into legal action, leading to the joint statement released today, which confirms a permanent end to public hostilities between the pair.
Both parties have agreed to focus on co-parenting their children privately, marking a significant shift after nearly two decades of public disputes. The statement was welcomed by fans and is expected to bring a close to one of the most high-profile celebrity feuds in UK media.
