After her shock reunion with ex Dwight Yorke last week, Jordan has stunned friends by telling them she wants him to become a “permanent fixture” in her and her son Harvey’s lives.
The pair, who were spotted having lunch at Panacea in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, have barely been on speaking terms since their son’s birth in 2002.
While footballer Dwight, 41, is Harvey’s biological dad, the model – real name Katie Price – has insisted in the past that ex-husband Peter Andre will always be his father.
'Katie says she wants Dwight to become a permanent fixture in their lives for Harvey’s sake, as he is Harvey’s real dad, not Pete'
But Jordan, 34, has now told pals she is keen to rebuild her relationship with Dwight so that Harvey, 10, can have a “real dad” – and even hinted last week that she wouldn’t rule out rekindling their romance.
A source says: “Katie says she wants Dwight to become a permanent fixture in their lives for Harvey’s sake, as he is Harvey’s real dad, not Pete. And she says Dwight is keen to make up for missed time.”
Jordan and Dwight dated for over a year in 2001, but they’d ended their “stormy” relationship by the time Harvey was born.
A source adds: “Dwight got in contact with Katie a few weeks ago for the first time in years. She’s convinced he’s serious, as he’s started paying maintenance costs. Katie’s so happy, she’s even invited him for Christmas. She’s been saying: ‘Harvey deserves to have his real dad in his life.’”
But Dwight’s reappearance is sure to infuriate Pete, 39, who has always viewed himself as Harvey’s dad. At one point, the singer was even looking into adopting him.
Back in 2008, Jordan told a magazine Dwight hadn’t seen much of Harvey, saying: “He should be ashamed…”
And just last year Jordan claimed that Dwight hadn’t seen Harvey for three years – not since the former Man United star described Jordan as “vain and infuriating” and admitted cheating on her. She said: “I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to see Harvey. Although Pete is his dad – he always will be.”
Pete has stayed close to his stepson, who he says still calls him “Daddy”
Since Jordan and Peter ended their five-year relationship in 2009, Pete has stayed close to his stepson, who he says still calls him “Daddy.” But Jordan – who has son Junior, seven, and daughter Princess, five, with Peter – insists Dwight is ready to be a good dad.
A source says: “Katie has been saying that none of this is to do with Pete and that she’s trying to do what’s best for Harvey.”
When Jordan met Dwight last week, she was wearing ripped leggings and a see-through vest that showed off her chest – she recently had a sixth boob job that boosted her cleavage to an E-cup.
And according to pals, Jordan’s revealing outfit was deliberate. Afterwards, Jordan even joked to pals: “Dwight was flirting with me and he’s been sending me naughty messages. The attraction is still there – I always go for bad boys!
We joked about marrying and how much that would f**k with everyone’s heads. Maybe I’ll have another baby with him!”
Jordan’s reunion with Dwight comes as she is still struggling to deal with her bitter split with fiancé Leandro Penna.
The Argentinian model, 27, had flown to Miami after their break-up last month, but last week he turned up at TOWIE star Chloe Sims’ book launch in Essex.
And in a move that’s left Jordan fuming, Leo spent the evening flirting with TOWIE’s Lauren Pope, who is not only Jordan’s friend, but is also signed to her management company. A pal says: “Katie knew nothing about Lauren meeting up with Leo. She was furious. She messaged her to ask if she was sleeping with him.”
Although insiders say Lauren called to reassure her it was an “accidental meeting,” paranoid Jordan is convinced that Leo – who she says isn’t replying to her messages – is using Lauren to hurt her. She told pals: “Leo will be using her to get back at me, but it won’t work. I don’t want to be in the same room as him again.”
But while Jordan is putting on a brave face, pals fear she’s heading for heartbreak. A source says: “I wouldn’t put it past Katie to start seeing Dwight again, as she always seems to stay in love with her ex-boyfriends. But everyone’s worried it will end in tears.”
