Katie Price and Kieran Hayler's close pal George Kay lifts the lid on what REALLY ended their relationship - and sensationally claims that the serial cheat wasn't addicted to sex
It was just over a year ago that Katie Price and Kieran Hayler finally called time on their tumultuous four-year marriage, during which it emerged he’d repeatedly been unfaithful.
Scandal first erupted in 2014 when Katie revealed he’d cheated with her two best friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas, and he was at it again in 2017 when it was claimed he’d cheated with their nanny, Nikki Brown – something she later confirmed.

Warren appeared on This Morning last year to speak about "crashing back down to the real world" after Gladiators ended in the late 90s. He is also a born again Christian, and exclusively told Closer, "I feel God is saying to me, 'Warren, Katie might listen'. She's caught up in materialistic things."

Katie began dating Another Level (remember them?) singer Dane Bowers during her Jordan days in 1998. Katie has since spoken about how devasated she was after the pair split in 2000.

After his smash hit 'Out of Your Mind' with Victoria Beckham (who Katie reportedly had a feud with) Dane went a bit quiet on the music scene. Fast forward to 2013 and he reformed with Another Level for The Big Reunion. More recently, Dane has been linked to Love Island star Laura Anderson, who he apparently ended up cheating on. He must have been out of his mind #sorrynotsorry

Gareth went on to star in The Big Reunion with another one of Katie's exes, Dane Bowers. Awkward. Katie has also said that she would totally go back 'there' with Gareth.

Matt married an actress and model called Rachael in 2016. Bizarrely, his photos have also been used in quite a few catfishing incidents. But Katie recently started following Matt on Instagram - what can this mean?
11 of 21Peter Andre 2004 - 2009
The nation watched Peter Andre fall for Katie's charms on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. The pair then starred in a string of reality TV shows documenting their life after a fairytale wedding. They even released an album of duets, which we'd all rather just forget about. Katie and Peter had two children together, Junior and Princess, during their five years of marriage.
12 of 21Peter Andre
Things between Pricey and Peter have soured in the years following their split, after he blasted Katie for her 'wild' behaviour. Peter is now married to Emily MacDonagh, who Junior and Princess see as an older sister figure. Pete also landed himself a role in the next Thomas The Tank Engine film.
13 of 21Alex Reid 2009 - 2011
Katie married cage fighter Alex Reid less than seven months after splitting from Peter Andre. Their wedding was filmed for a TV show, but their marriage only lasted for 11 months. Katie has since admitted that it happened too soon after Peter.

Alex went on the star in Celebrity Big Brother and he continues to fight. He's been married to Nikki Manashe since 2013. Most recently, he has been involved in a sex tape allegation - claiming that Katie showed a group of people a video of him performing a sex act. Will the drama ever end? (We hope not.)
15 of 21Leandro Penna- 2011-2012
Katie got engaged to Leandro after a whirlwind romance shortly after splitting from Alex Reid - despite the couple barely being able to communicate thanks to his limited English and Katie's non-existent Spanish (former model Leandro hails from Argentina). Leo said of their split, "Katie's brain is not wired right, or the wires don't connect properly. I don't know what's wrong with her. I was thinking it over recently and one day decided to pack my bags and leave. There was nothing else I could do. She was driving me insane."

Since splitting with KP, Leandro has quit fame to return to his native South America and now runs a successful avocado farm and business. Launching in October 2021 he said, "I present my new avocado venture @paltasroyal. Thanks to all the businesses that gave us confidence, to all the avocado-loving customers and to those merchants who have not yet bought them, do not hesitate."
17 of 21Kieran Hayler 2012 - 2018
It looked like Katie had a good thing going with Kieran Hayler and their two kids, Jett and Bunny. But Kieran had to go and ruin it by cheating on Katie with her nanny, two best friends (while she was pregnant), then again with a 19-year-old shop assistant. Katie kept taking him backbut she FINALLY called it quits in May 2018.

Kieran is now engaged to Michelle Pentecost, who he met at the school gates, and is a great dad to Jett and Bunny and Michelle's son from a previous relationship.
19 of 21Kris Boyson
Katie started dating personal trainer Kris Boyson within weeks of splitting from Kieran. She celebrated her 40th birthday with him and her family are said to have approved of him. Their relationship lasted a year before split rumours started to circulate, and the pair have been on and off-ing since September 2019.

Kris is still posting insanely buff topless selfies (keep 'em coming, Kris) and his personal training business is thriving. After his split from Katie, he began dating Katie's former pal Bianca Gascoigne, much to Katie's dismay. The couple moved in together within days due to lockdown but split after nearly a year together, citing their hectic work schedules.
21 of 21Carl Woods - 2020
Could it be fourth time lucky? After months of speculation, Katie and Carl confirmed their engagement in April 2021.
At the time, Katie claimed former stripper Kieran, 32, was a sex addict for which he was having treatment, though in an interview published last week he revealed he’d never cheat on his current girlfriend, Michelle Pentecost, saying, "There must have been reasons why I did it [cheated on Katie].
"There’s not a chance in hell I would ever cheat on Michelle. I’m happy with her."
Kieran’s comments came just a week after Jordan – real name Katie Price – was handed a five-year restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle, 36, after admitting calling her a "f-----g c--t" in a row outside the school which the former couple’s children Jett, five, and Bunny, four, attend.
Someone who saw first-hand how their doomed marriage played out is their mutual pal George Kay – who was married to Katie's close friend Kerry Katona from 2014 to 2017.
And while George, 38, says he "absolutely loves Katie", he believes she was the source of the issues in their relationship.
He exclusively tells Closer, "There’s only one story being told. She could have done 20 million things wrong, but the only thing that people get to hear about the marriage is how he slept with her friends. The truth is covered up so Katie can carry on with her career.
"Kieran was genuinely a good guy. All the reports about him having sex addiction – to me, that’s a lie. The only story you get to hear are all the bad things that he’s done.
"Kieran served his purpose in their relationship – he was a doormat. He used to be a stripper, he was a young lad and his life completely changed.
"He used to thrive off attention and suddenly he was getting none. To have all that taken away and all of a sudden you’re in charge of these kids and your role is to be a doormat.”
During her marriage to Kieran, Jordan was linked to DJ Tom Zanetti, Geordie Shore’s Scotty T and Love Island’s Chris Hughes – with sources saying she was also in contact with Amir Khan, too.
George adds, "By the end of their marriage I think he’d just had enough. Don’t forget that by that point, every week, Katie was being pictured in the magazines at PAs with a different bloke.
"I don’t believe she cheated on him, but something had to give and I think his affairs were a result of his pent-up frustration."
Former professional rugby player George – who shares Dylan-Jorge, four, with Kerry – made regular visits with her to see Jordan and Kieran, popping into each other’s houses and going on days out with their kids.
He believes Kieran’s role as house-husband and carer for Jordan’s five kids eventually became too much. Jordan never held back on mocking Kieran, previously dubbing him "farmer Giles" and saying that he had "a one-pack instead of a six-pack."

George says, "Kieran had a role in the family – the childminder, the cleaner and the taxi. That’s all he did and I could see how it was.
"When we were with them, they were very rarely in the same room together. They rarely interacted really. If we went to theirs, Kieran would be off out of the house, doing chores, doing something in the yard or stables – anywhere but in the house. I’d go out with him and we’d have lad chats.
"She would be inside on the sofa, eating, drinking, chatting. When they came to ours, he would always be looking after the children and she’d always be in a separate room.
"I never saw them being lovey-dovey. Somewhere along the line, he got downtrodden. They should have gone their separate ways the first time he cheated."
