A surprising announcement rippled through the tabloids today: Katie Price and Peter Andre, former husband and wife, have issued a joint statement. The move comes just days after Price’s recent, and somewhat unexpected, marriage to Lee Andrews, immediately sparking speculation about the motivations behind this unified front.
At the heart of this apparent truce lie their two children, Junior, now twenty, and Princess, eighteen. The statement, shared simultaneously on both of their Instagram accounts, signals a deliberate attempt to reshape their dynamic, prioritizing the well-being of their family above past grievances.
“We have decided to close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect,” the statement declared. It outlined a mutual agreement, both legally and personally, to refrain from negative public commentary about one another – a significant shift given their often-turbulent history.
This isn’t simply a polite gesture; it’s a commitment to stability. Both Price and Andre emphasized their shared focus on cultivating a calm and supportive environment for their children, suggesting a desire to shield them from the fallout of their previous, often public, disagreements.
Their relationship began with the whirlwind romance on the reality show *I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!*, culminating in a highly publicized wedding in 2005. The marriage lasted four years, followed by a period marked by strained relations and public disputes as they both navigated new relationships.
Andre found lasting happiness with Emily Andre, an NHS doctor, whom he married in 2015. Together they have three children, building a life far removed from the spotlight of his early fame. Price’s path, however, has been considerably more complex.
Following her split from Andre, Price embarked on a series of relationships, marrying Alex Reid in 2010, Kieran Hayler in 2013, and most recently, Lee Andrews. Each union ended in separation, adding layers of complexity to her personal life and fueling ongoing media scrutiny.
Beyond Andre and her three husbands, Price also shares her eldest son, Harvey, with Dwight Yorke, and has experienced a string of broken engagements with Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson, and Carl Woods. The recent breakup with JJ Slater, just weeks before her fourth wedding, only intensified the public’s fascination with her romantic life.
The statement concludes with a plea for understanding and support from the media and the public. It’s a hopeful message, suggesting a genuine desire to forge a more positive co-parenting relationship and prioritize the needs of their children above all else. This unexpected alliance marks a potentially pivotal moment for both Price and Andre, and for their family.
