It was announced last week that the court date for a legal battle that has been ongoing for three years has been postponed again until January 2016.
The pair – who have two children together, Junior, nine, and Princess, seven, and split six years ago after four years of marriage – have been embroiled in a very public court battle since 2012. Jordan, 37, is seeking damages from Pete, 42, and her ex-manager Claire Powell – who still represents Pete – alleging they orchestrated a smear campaign against her by selling private information about her, which they deny.
With the court date pushed back once again until early next year, sources say the stress is taking its toll on both Jordan – real name Katie Price – who is now married to third husband Kieran Hayler, and Peter, who’s engaged to 25-year-old Emily MacDonagh.
A source says: “The court case has become a source of major tension in both households. Emily and Kieran just want it all to be settled and move on with their lives but neither Katie nor Pete are willing to back down. They feel they have come too far. Katie is desperate to show everyone what ‘Saint Peter’ is really like, and destroy the ‘perfect’ image everyone has of him."
