Katie Price is divorcing 3rd hubby after surprise pregnancy announcement

Katie Price

This is a photo of glamour model Katie “Jordan” Price departing the house of her third husband’s married lover after having a “showdown.” That’s a weird intro to a story, right? Katie’s garter tattoo gets me every time, but I would have liked to hear that conversation. The woman in question is Jane Pountey, who has been Katie’s best friend for two decades. Oh, the weave pulling.

Things are complicated for Katie. She has been married for a year to Kieran Hayler, who takes it off for a living. He’s a “dancer.” Katie discovered last week that she is six months pregnant with her fifth child (and second baby with Kieran). Katie had no idea that she was preggers. We’ve all heard stories about women who are startled to go into labor because they didn’t realize their pregnancies. Katie’s been pregnant many times, so it’s strange that she didn’t suspect something was happening inside her body: “‘I had some really bad stomach pains. I didn’t feel pregnant, though.” Maybe she thought she had gas?

The bliss of Katie’s surprise pregnancy news didn’t last long. She announced on Twitter yesterday that she is divorcing Kieran:

Katie Price

This story is a huge mess. Jane Pountey’s husband swears there was no affair and that Kieran and Jane only shared “a drunken kiss.” Katie insists that she caught the cheaters in the act. I do feel bad for anyone who is six months pregnant and heading towards divorce (again). Buuuuut … marrying an exotic dancer and expecting eternal love and fidelity was a stretch.

Katie also recently talked some trash about her first husband, Peter Andre. She’ll never talk to him again: “I never wanted a divorce from Peter. That was his decision, not mine.” Katie also said Peter never gave her a reason for the divorce. My guess? Girlfriend is addicted to the drama, and Peter couldn’t take it anymore.

    Only 3 times? I’m not sure why I thought it was more. That sucks.

    • Stef Leppard says:

      Yeah, I thought she already had five kids, too. How does she support all of these babies…?

      • Clever hand says:

        She’s worth a surprisingly large amount.

      • blue marie says:

        @ Clever hand .. what does she actually do? I’m not trying to knock her, I just know very little about her.

      • MonicaQ says:

        Imagine British Kim Kardashian. And that is an insult to Katie Price because Katie Price used to be a model (still sorta is) and was “ghostwritten” into a few NYT Best Sellers. So she’s actually more talented besides getting peed on but she is papped on a consistent basis.

      • Clever hand says:

        I read a story in the guardian about it yesterday. Most of her money comes from her books (ugh) she also had several reality shows, clothing lines, perfume, commercials for large retailers. They estimated her fortune at 20 million pounds.

      • blue marie says:

        *snickers* thank you MonicaQ (for the laugh and explanation) and Clever hand, I had no clue.

      • eliza says:

        She is worth close to $80 million.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        Hey, as long as she’s supporting her own kids, I can’t knock her. Plus I remember reading that she’s a hands-on mom, so that’s a plus in my book.

      • Bridget says:

        @MonicaQ: she was a “glamour model” which means she was famous for cheesy topless photos. However, her fame skyrocketed after the birth of her eldest child Harvey, who was born with special needs, and Harvey’s dad (a soccer player) pretty much ditched them. That brought on the first book, which was a massive success, and allowed her to branch out – reality tv and the like, which was where she met Andre. For someone who started outtaking her top off she’s a massive success: books, perfume, at one point she had an equestrian line; but when she never really gave up the tacky, and when she and Andrew’s marriage fell apart she pretty much embraced being utterly trashy again. I have to admit I find her interesting, but she’s not exactly someone I would ever want to be around, or have my children emulate.

      • SK says:

        I’m sorry; but this drives me crazy. I can’t stand the Kardashians; but I’ve actually seen Kim’s sex tape and she does not get peed on. Nothing even close. This is an urban myth. Have any of you seen this footage? No ? We’ll stop mentioning it then. It’s not true. The truth is bad enough without needless, mean – spirited embellishment.

      • Nina W says:

        SK, the rumor is that PMK edited the pee out, it maybe urban legend but it’s a persistent rumor.

      • Carebearvancouver says:

        Can someone please fill me in about Kim k getting pee’d on? Like what!!!

    • Bridget says:

      I don’t think she was married to Harvey’s father, and I think she was ‘only’ engaged to one or two of her pieces after Peter. So amazingly, only 3.

    • Decloo says:

      1. Who is that woman?
      2. What is a “Glamour Model”? Is that, like, code for trashy model wannabe?
      3. Does nobody use birth control anymore?

  2. Tapioca says:

    If there’s a lesson to be learnt here it is not to marry someone a month after you meet them, on the advice of an tarot card reader who said you’re next husband’s name will “begin with a K” and then immediately try for a baby.

    Urgh, total mess…

    • gg says:

      ah yes now I remember. She digs deeper and stupider each time she gets a quick divorce and remarries. She really knows how to pick em. She understands how to work PR to make money but with zero class or intellect. She’s like Paris Hilton on turbo. Slow down Katie, damn. This is what happens when you treat marriage so flippantly.

  3. Snowpea says:

    Awww I have a real soft spot for Katie plus I, too, have been on the receiving end of my best friend shacking up with my hubby. It really is a very painful experience because the two people you would normally turn to for support have now become the enemy.

    Having said that, Katie seems like a sweet, hardworking gal but maybe a little daft. So many kids and husbands – she needs to slow down. Best of luck to her.

    • Vera says:

      Yeah. She probably needs to take her time going into another relationship.

    • Nicolette says:

      I can’t even imagine the feeling of betrayal coming from a so-called friend sleeping with your husband. Finding out you’ve been cheated on is painful enough, let alone finding out it was with someone you trusted. So sorry you had to go through that. 🙁

  4. Jen says:

    Is it wrong to feel really sorry for this woman? She keeps rushing into relationships with people who are clearly rotten work. I get the feeling that she’s so desperate for love, any love, and so petrified that she’s not worthy of it, that the second somebody offers it to her she holds on for dear life.

    • MonicaQ says:

      Or she keeps trying to fix them/trying to save them. “Captain Save-a-ho” syndrome my lady friends call it.

    • Diana says:

      I feel badly for her, too. I wish she would take some time off from the marriage/baby roulette wheel to take a breather and work on her issues.

      But… That’s probably not going to happen.

  5. Vera says:

    That’s gotta be painful. Despite her penchant, bad fashion, sketchy men, and drama, she seems like a sweet person and a good mom.

  6. Samigirl says:

    Well, I for one am SHOCKED her most recent bad decision to get married to someone she barely knew didn’t work out.

  7. Mark says:

    Terrible human being, I really don’t feel sorry for her.

  8. Kiddo says:

    I keep seeing her name everywhere and yet I have no idea who she is, but I’m aware that she is often the butt of jokes.

    • Hiddles forever says:

      @Kiddo

      Kind of British Kardashian. I can’t stand her, she lives in a drama all time, and no I can’t even bring myself to be sorry for her, she looks for trouble at every corner.
      I am only sorry for her children.

      • Ag says:

        yeah, she comes off like a huge mess from the stories i see about her on here (and dlisted). i feel bad for her kids, having to be dragged into all of her self-created melodrama. ugh.

      • paola says:

        one big difference though… She really cares about her children. All of them.

      • Hiddles forever says:

        @paola

        No she doesn’t. When you are so self-absorbed in your drama all the bloody time, with the heck you care about your children. She can’t avoid relationships, if she really cared for these children she wouldn’t make a fool out of herself continuously. I live in UK and I have been sick to see her around since I arrived to the country, is that possible? She is tabloid’s favourite here, she gets coverage 52 weeks out of 52 (and when she doesn’t, she calls the paps).
        Worst British fame-h-o ever.

      • paola says:

        Mags love her because she is trashy, she really has no judgement and she puts everything out there for photographers. She is bad but i still believe she loves her children and takes good care of them. I find her harmless honestly and she built an empire from nothing.
        Who I really can’t stand is Kerry Katona.

      • Hiddles forever says:

        @paola

        Loves them: yes
        Takes care of them: no
        She wouldn’t be all over the globe romancing her partners or out clubbing late at night if she didn’t have nannies who took care of her children. Mind you, she is a millionaire so I guess she has full custody of all four (nearly 5 now….)

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Right, I never heard of her. I think women who get tattoos around their upper thighs are…optimistic.

    • minime says:

      same here…and i’m always reading that she is a “glamour model”…so what the heck is a glamour model and why doesn’t it involve to have actual glamour????

      • Clever hand says:

        Glamour model is the Brit word for lady who takes her top off/goes in playboy.

      • minime says:

        LOL Thank you so much @Clever hand…that’s a very posh name for such an activity 😉

      • Size Does Matter says:

        That photo of her in the boots, blue shorts, and pink top just screams glamour model to me. Must be her day off.

  9. Loopy says:

    Messy relationships and getting pregnant have made her a huge fortune in the British media for over a decade now but people were losing interest, it’s not far fetched to think this was to invite more magazine inches and a new show on sky tv.

  10. paola says:

    How she can not know about being 6 months pregnant is beyond me.
    Missing your period for at least 5 times should be a clue, no?
    I never believe these stories about ‘Oh yeah i didn’t know i was pregnant until i went to the hospital for some weird and painful bowel movement and i just delivered a baby.’
    shocking. NOT.

    She is as old as me and she looks waaaaay older then her age. She looks like a 40 somrhting year old former prostitute.

    • Oceansoul89 says:

      I thought it was weird too. But I have know at least one woman who still had slight periods while she was pregnant.

      But I agree with you. Don’t babies move around alot? Surely she would feel something. I think she is doing this for attention.

      • Delta Juliet says:

        I am not sticking up for her in anyway, but I actually bled off and on throughout my pregnancies. Scary but somewhat “normal” I guess.

        However, I DID know I was pregnant. I know it happens, but I really don’t know how you can miss something like that.

    • Hiddles forever says:

      Her older appearance is due to her getting plastic surgery so many times. If she keeps doing it, she will get to Donatella Versace’s level soon.

      I really don’t get it because she was totally stunning:

    • MonicaQ says:

      I can go a year without having a cycle. Just my body is messed up which is why I take birth control.

    • Happyhat says:

      I imagine she doesn’t get her periods that much. I have no facts to go on, I have no idea if she has an eating disorder. But it wouldn’t surprise me if she did. Either way, she strikes me as someone that unhealthy that her periods are very erratic.

    • Loopy says:

      She is also in love with sun beds,isn’t easier to just spray tan these days.

    • Nicolette says:

      SMH. Totally agree. I’ve never understood those women myself. It’s not just a matter of not getting your period, which by the way is a big hint, but what about all the other things that change during pregnancy. It’s a lot, and let’s not forget that you feel the baby moving. Being that far along, or going full term and not knowing is just incomprehensible to me.

    • Gia says:

      She is full of sh-t. I remember reading she was sick around Christmas and had multiple scans and tests done. Everyone knows the first test they do to a woman is a pregnancy test so dr’s not harm the fetus with further testing. Nothing this chick says is true. And as far as ‘she’s a good mother. At least she’s not collecting welfare. She loves her kids’. Give me a break. If parenting was only about financial support and loving them, Charlie Sheen would be a good parent. It’s about making life decisions that benefit your family and self sacrifice…something she knows zero about. F-ck her.

    • Nina W says:

      Fifth pregnancy, and she didn’t know until six months? That is unbelievable, who is that out of touch with their body?

  11. Erinn says:

    Wait – is there not a bump visible on her stomach in the first shot? It might be the lighting or something, but it looks like she has a baby belly going – how could she have only found out a week ago?

    I know some women just legitimately don’t know they’re pregnant … but six months in on someone as tiny as she is?

    • eliza says:

      Apparently she thought it was baby weight from her last child and hormone fluctuations. She just had a baby 7 months ago.

      • Erinn says:

        Ahhhh, well at least that makes a little more sense then.

      • Size Does Matter says:

        If she’s nursing that would also explain why she wouldn’t have a period. You can still ovulate while nursing, too.

  12. TG says:

    Reading that twitter feed was hilarious. I know it is always best to keep it classy and take the high road but I just love human beings who go for it. What would we have to laugh at if it wasn’t for all the tacky people in the world.

  13. MsAubra says:

    I wish she would stop with these quickie marriages! I still like her

  14. GeeMoney says:

    She is a total hot mess… but what really gets me is the amount of guys that just line up to be with her. I’ll never understand…

    But I will say that she seems like a good mom. She has an autistic son, and I know that taking care of him must not be easy. She does seem to care for him a lot.

    Anyhoo, I had a co-worker who was pregnant with her second child and didn’t know it. She said that she thought that she was pregnant, but interestingly enough didn’t have any symptoms. Plus, her son barely moved around in her stomach, and she barely showed (she was pretty hefty after her first baby, so you really couldn’t tell). She didn’t find out until she took a pee test at the 6 month mark. Hard to believe, I know (she was shocked as well), but it happens.

    PS – Her son was born healthy, and is doing just fine 🙂

  15. Sam says:

    I have felt bad for her ever since she wrote a piece for some British newspaper defending her oldest son Harvey (that’s the one wearing the headphones in the picture). He has multiple disabilities and some people have made fun of him pretty publicly for it (mostly because of who his mother is). Her defense of her son was shockingly well-reasoned and articulate (not what you’d really expect from her). She is a strong advocate for her son, which I give her a ton of credit for. Personally, her issues with men and marriage speak to some really deep wounds that probably go back a long time. She doesn’t need a husband, she needs a therapist.

  16. Mandy says:

    Wowzers, what a hot mess!

  17. eliza says:

    She should just get back with Peter Andre and call it a day.

    The woman is a baby making machine. Good grief, four kids, one on the way and I believe one miscarriage and an abortion (NOT judging). Talk about being fertile!

    • Andrea says:

      I think sadly that ship has sailed. I loved them on their reality show until it became nasty. He is pretty annoying and evil. I wish I knew why Peter left Katie.

  18. Racer says:

    What a selfish, messy female. Why cant she just focus on her children and be a good mum. Is her life terribly incomplete without a man! I dont feel sorry for her, maybe after the first marriage…possibly the second, but now she’s just gross.

    • Annie says:

      She does jump from man to man way too fast and seems to be lacking a douche-radar but I genuinely feel sorry for Katie this time. So apparently he was fucking around on her during the previous pregnancy, then obviously she forgave him and gave him a second chance, and now he’s doing it again while she’s 6 months with their second kid? I’d probably say some regrettable stuff on twitter if that happened to me. Seems like he’s the selfish one here.

      But I agree with what Sam says above – she really needs to take a break from husbands for a while and get some therapy, she seems like a wounded person.

      • Racer says:

        Very true Annie, and I didnt know she caught him cheating once before. You know what they say…first time shame on you, second time shame on me.

  19. eliza says:

    P.S I love Harvey! Peter Andre was always so good to him! ( Hey blame MK @ dlisted for my knowledge of all things Katie!).

  20. LAK says:

    I couldn’t believe this when I saw it at my newsagent. This is such a high level of drama queen-ness, it needs a new word.

  21. littlestar says:

    I wonder if this supposed affair really did happen or if Katie made it up because she lives for drama. What an exhausting life she must have. Oh well, just means more drama/gossip for us.

  22. Noinin says:

    The husband before this one was a cross-dressing cage fighter (cannot invent that sh*t!). She shotgun married this one because she was preggers and because a fortune teller told her her soulmate’s name is Kevin- and since his name starts with a K, she thought it could be him. Anyway, I think she is pulling a Tori Spelling and faking this whole thing.

  23. JenniferJustice says:

    I dont’ believe women who claim to have become pregnant while on birth control (specifically the pill). The changes of that happening are so slim, that 3/4 of the people making that claim are lying. So, either she got pregnant on purpose or was simply careless – both are gross and non-excuses.

    • Gia says:

      She is very open about never using contraception. Ever. She’s an idiot.

    • Bridget says:

      I have no idea about Katie Prince’s business, but in general birth control pills only have about a 95 percent effective rate – meaning 1 out of every 20 women on the pill still end up pregnant.

    • Snowpea says:

      I fell pregnant while on the pill – and I am a sane, intelligent, healthy person (most of the time) 😉

    • Ange says:

      You have to take into account the extreme sensitivity the pill has to even minor fluctuations in your body though and how you have to take it super regularly at the same time every day. I think a lot of people just aren’t educated on these things and end up pregnant. I also think there are a decent portion of babies out there whose mothers claim are a pill mishap but were very much planned for whatever reason.

  24. P.J. says:

    Uhhh…So the missing periods for several months in succession weren’t a HUGE sign?? Ok. Sure. (I would almost be able to get on board with Katie “not knowing” that she was pregnant again because her little guy with Kieran is only 8 months old and if she were nursing it usually holds off your periods until you stop but Katie has been incredibly vocal about the fact that breastfeeding is not at all for her-which is totally fine-but it immediately threw that theory I was thinking out the window. Who knows? This chick tells so many lies even she probably doesn’t know whether what comes out of her mouth is honest or complete BS anymore…)

    P.S. Does anyone else remember that complete train wreck of a ‘reality’ show starring Katie and Peter when they were married that aired here in the States almost 10 years ago when they were convinced they would be huge stars here?! I think it aired on E! (of course) and was so deliciously tacky, gaudy and over the top that I LOVED it 😂 I think it was called something amazingly absurd like “Katie & Peter Forever” (LOL)

  25. Jenn12 says:

    This woman needs to pull herself together. Five kids, three husbands, countless fiancés and boyfriends and she can’t take care of herself or the kids. Peter Andre was her rock and she treated him like crap and likely cheated on him. There are a million young women who want to glamour model and model and she’s not young anymore and keeps marrying these losers and popping out kids she doesn’t want to raise. She’s ridiculous and I feel terrible for her kids. Instead of focusing on the kids she has and getting herself together, she finds any form of life with Y chromosomes and clings to them and marries them after a month or two.

    • Jenn12 says:

      And she bluntly says she doesn’t use or believe in contraception. There’s a link in the post that goes right to it.
