A New Chapter for Peter Andre and Katie Price
Peter Andre, the former husband of Katie Price, has recently reached out to his ex-wife to ask if she is genuinely happy with her new marriage to Lee Andrews. This comes after a long and bitter 16-year feud between the two celebrities.
Katie Price, now 47, made headlines when she married Lee Andrews, a so-called businessman, in Dubai just 10 days after meeting him in January. The couple’s quick marriage shocked many fans, especially given the circumstances of their relationship.
Peter and Katie first met on the third series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2005 and quickly fell in love. They had two children together, Junior and Princess, before their divorce in 2009. Despite the separation, they have finally found a way to move past their differences and are now on better terms.
In an interview with The Sun, Peter shared his thoughts on Katie’s new marriage:
“So my thing to Kate is, ‘Are you genuinely happy? And if you are, then that’s great’.
Who am I to tell someone what they should or shouldn’t be doing? Or even giving an opinion about it? I want her to be happy.“
Katie recently revealed that Lee has already met Peter, as the former couple spoke for the first time in nine years. Despite concerns from her family and accusations from Lee’s previous partners, Katie remains confident that Lee is the real deal. She even introduced him to Peter via FaceTime, which was a surreal moment for both.
Katie told The Sun last month:
“It was time. Ironically I was FaceTiming Princess the other day when she was with Pete, so she put me onto him. It was the first time in nine years I’ve seen him.
I was having dinner with Lee at the time and it was surreal – I was like ‘oh hello ex-husband, welcome to my new husband!’
They had a nice chat. I was like ‘what the f is going on here?’*”
In the same interview, Katie mentioned that she has only been in love three times in her life — with Peter, her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers, and now Lee. She was also married to Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012 and Kieran Hayler from 2013 to 2021, though she did not name him publicly.
Katie and Peter’s surprise reunion comes after they followed each other on Instagram following their truce on the 16-year feud. However, Katie stopped following Peter on the platform in 2021 after he reportedly called in a lawyer over claims she made in her memoir Harvey & Me. In the book, she wrote that Peter had no interest in keeping in touch with his stepson Harvey, 23, after their split.
Despite this, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the pair followed each other on social media a week after they shared a joint statement about “moving on positively.” Friends claim that their children were the reason behind the resolution of their acrimony.
A source told The Sun:
“Pete’s team have been begging Katie to end this for good for months. As far back as November, they were calling Katie and her family to try to end the row.
She was resolute she wouldn’t make peace with him. It was the children who made her realise she needed to draw a line in the sand. Katie has done this for them.“
Katie and Peter revealed that the acrimony following their divorce has been resolved. Their announcement marks their first interaction in 16 years, with the former couple insisting they now intend to “close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect.”
They added:
“We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children.
We have reached a mutual agreement, both legally and personally confirming that neither of us will speak negatively about the other going forward.
This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability. We want to stand united for our children.
We are hoping this is a start of a positive relationship. We ask for understanding and support from both the media and the public as we move ahead.“
