Katie Price has opened up about eldest son Harvey Price’s heartache over not having a relationship with his dad, and his “confusion” over his younger siblings seeing theirs regularly.

Katie split from Harvey’s dad, footballer Dwight Yorke, and his virtually non-existent relationship with his son has been a point of sadness for Katie ever since.

Conversely, the dads of Katie’s other four children, Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler, play a major role in their kids life and were the prime carers during Katie’s mental health crisis last year.

“Harvey's been let down like I have,” said Katie. “I mean majorly let down and you don't do it to kids.

"I'm an adult, it's not nice to let people down, but Harvey has seriously been let down by my serious relationships I've had.

"He doesn't understand why the kids go to see their dads and he doesn't. He doesn't understand."

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. Unfortunately for Katie, West End actor Gareth is now happily in a relationship with Corrie star Faye Brooke. In January 2019 it was reported that the pair were engaged.

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?

Peter 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.

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.

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.)

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."

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.

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.

And while Kieran and Peterand Katie’s most recent ex Kris Boyson have spoken about the special bond they had with Harv, it looks like he’s already developing a friendship with her current squeeze, Carl Woods.

"He's a teenager, he wants a father, when I say father, Carl's not here to be anyone's father, they've got their own dads, but Harvey likes male banter, he doesn't just want mum going, 'Do you want cuddles?'"

"He wants a bit of winding up. At the minute, I play the mum and dad role with him. When I do YouTube, he knows when men walk in and he'll go 'Alright, d**khead?' and stuff like that, because he just wants that banter with the guys.

Cuuute.

Telling a recent anecdote about his new bud to the Mirror, Carl added, “We got dinner and Kate was just drying her hair so I was sat at the table with Harvey, he said 'Harvey, Carl best friends?' I said, 'Of course we are'.

"Kate came in a minute later and he said to her, 'Mum, Harvey, Carl best friends'."
