Katie Price reveals real reason for Peter Andre split and makes jaw-dropping claim

Katie Price revealed the real reason for the demise of her relationship with Peter Andre. The duo fell head over heels for each other on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004 and viewers watched as the duo flirted, wrestled and fall in love with one another. After leaving the jungle, the two were inseparable and secretly got engaged in May of the same year.

They tied the knot in September 2005 and welcomed Junior and Princess Andre. Their whirlwind romance soon fell apart and they divorced in 2009. In a new chat with Paul Brunson for his podcast, We Need To Talk, Katie revealed the real reason their relationship came to a shock end.

Peter believed she had an affair with her dressage rider

According to the Mucky Mansion star, Peter believed she had an affair with her dressage rider. She shut down the claims and told Celebs Go Dating expert Paul: “I’ve never slept with him.

“I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married. But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, that’s it. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. It got to a point where I went well f**king divorce me. And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids.

“That day, I’m at the airport, it’s all on Sky News, it wasn’t mutual at all. And then I redone a statement saying I don’t want to split with Pete, it’s Pete that’s splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.”

At the time of their split, Peter claimed he was “absolutely gutted” after Katie took their kids back to the Maldives villa where they’d spent their 2005 honeymoon.

“Being apart from my kids is just breaking my heart,” he cried to the Daily Star at the time. “It’s destroying me – I’m absolutely gutted.”

And while speaking to Paul, former glamour model Katie revealed they manage the kids via lawyers. “I’ve never sat down with him, we probably would’ve sorted it out but we were kept apart,” she explained.

Katie said it’s ‘the most difficult thing’ to co-parent as she added: “But I realised you get to know what people are really like, and I’ve had it tough. But yeah, it is sad.”

Before the break-up, both parties confessed to having jealous rows, making no secret of their marital bickering on their reality TV show. However, few fans were convinced it was enough to derail them.

Meanwhile, Katie has previously admitted that the separation hadn’t been her choice. “Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together, and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me as I married him for life,” Katie told The Mirror at the time.
