KATIE Price’s ditched hubby Kieran Hayler has emerged for the first time since
The Sun revealed she had known for weeks that he was bedding her best pal
Jane Pountney.
The part-time stripper was stoney-faced as he was seen today, following a
showdown with Katie, Jane and Jane’s husband Derrick yesterday.
Kieran was spotted driving a Land Rover Defender down a country lane.
Furious model Katie, 35, announced
yesterday she was divorcing “disgusting” plasterer Kieran, 27 — after
accusing him of a seven-month affair.
Katie — who
announced this week she was expecting a second baby with Kieran —
revealed in a blistering online rant how their 16-month marriage was over.
She tweeted: “Sorry to say me and Kieran are divorcing. Him and my best friend
Jane Pountney been having a full-blown sexual affair for seven months.
“Kieran is a disgusting human being doing this after I’ve just had a baby and
still doing it till I caught them.
“No human being deserves this, especially being six months pregnant. Worst
pain in the world.”
She also branded married Jane, 49 — who she has known since she was 15 — a
“clone”, a “whore” and a “homewrecker slut” before the two couples had talks
in the afternoon.
Last night Jane’s tyre firm boss hubby revealed neither marriage may survive,
but claimed: “There has not been a ‘full blown’ affair going on, it was more
like a drunken kiss.”
A close pal last night revealed Katie had suspected for weeks that her husband
— who she wed in January after a whirlwind romance — was having an affair.
The friend said: “Katie was concerned the spark seemed to have gone and had
her suspicions something was going on. But when she confronted Kieran he
always told her that she was mad or crazy.”
The pal claimed that Kieran had been sniping at pregnant Katie, mum to their
nine-month-old son Jett, adding: “Over the last few months Kieran was making
snide comments about how she doesn’t make an effort.
“He was moaning how she could be rude and coarse with him. It was obvious that
the honeymoon period was over.”
Katie confided to a very small circle of pals how she began to suspect Jane —
bridesmaid for two of her weddings — but did not believe Kieran would sink
so low.
The source added: “Initially, she was more concerned about the friend. She
never believed Kieran would actually go through with anything. But the
evidence started to build up.”
Katie yesterday met Kieran, former air hostess Jane and Derrick at the
Pountneys’ £800,000 home near Horsham, West Sussex.
Katie arrived just after 3pm and stormed through the front door without
knocking. Minutes later Kieran turned up in a car with Derrick, 51, and a
third man.
Inside, Kieran is believed to have begged for one more chance but Katie,
previously wed to Peter Andre and Alex Reid, refused.
The pal said: “There’s no going back. This is divorce as far as she’s
concerned. She’s absolutely determined he is not going to get any of her
money either.”
Kieran left after an hour and Katie stayed inside for another two before she
was driven home.
Later Katie “made no apologies” for her earlier rant, which was “a sign of my
heart breaking”. She added: “That he was doing it with a close friend of
nearly 20 years is hard to understand.
“I am appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in
this way.”
Last night Derrick, who had been acting as “peacemaker”, said: “There were
tears shed here today, all sorts went on.
“But Katie and Jane talked, they have been friends a long time and they are OK
now.
“A lot of this drama has been a storm in a teacup and there are a lot of
misunderstandings to sort out.
“Will Katie and Kieran break up, or could they get back together? I don’t
really know.
“As for Jane and I working things out… again, I don’t know. This
‘affair’ has not really happened like it has been portrayed. I’ve known
about it for about four weeks myself.
“All four of us are good friends, but things between Kieran and Jane just went
a bit far.”
Katie, who cancelled her scheduled appearance on ITV chat show Loose Women,
had also been warned about how much she was spending on Kieran, who once
appeared as a stripper on EastEnders.
A pal explained: “When she met Kieran she thought that he was a shy, sweet guy
who wasn’t interested in her fame or money. That didn’t change.
“But her family and some others around her were concerned that he lived in her
house and she funded their holidays and most of their lifestyle.”
However, friends said she is now struggling to cope after the news of her
husband’s betrayal.
The pal added: “She’s completely and utterly devastated. She might sound
angry, but she’s heartbroken and can’t stop crying.
“She’s said she hasn’t felt this sort of pain since her split from Pete. Her
view is that there’s nobody left who she can trust.”
It comes days after the star revealed in The Sun on Sunday she was six months
pregnant with her fifth child. And in a magazine interview this week she
also told of her love for Kieran, who she wed in the Bahamas before the
marriage was blessed in Somerset.
She said: “He’s the right man for me. I’m happy. We’re happy. I’ve never been
this happy before.”
But a few weeks earlier, she revealed how she felt about cheating.
She said: “People have affairs for all sorts of reasons — because they’re
bored, crave taking a risk or want to inject some spice into their life.
“Some can be short-lived, some are secrets taken to the grave and others
become the beginnings of a new relationship. These things can and do happen
and they’ll continue to happen.”
Katie was married to Peter Andre for four years from 2005, and they had two
kids — Junior, nine, and Princess, seven.
She then married cross-dressing cage fighter Alex Reid in February 2010 but
split 11 months later.
Katie, who has son Harvey, 12, from a relationship with ex-footballer Dwight
Yorke, was also engaged to Argentine model Leandro Penna, 29, before they
finished in 2012.
Her statement
“I APPRECIATE most people will have seen my tweets on the subject of my
marriage to Kieran. I make no apologies for them though it will be
appreciated that, sending them immediately after Kieran confirmed to me what
he had been doing for the last seven months, those tweets were a sign of my
heart breaking.
“That he was doing it with a close friend of nearly 20 years is hard to
understand. This statement however is from my head, not my heart. I am
appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in this
way.
“If he had so little respect for our relationship I would have hoped he
would have thought about our child or the one that we have on the way.
“That he did not means he will no longer be part of my life. I will do
all I can to ensure he maintains a relationship with his children should he
want that. I am so grateful for the love of my children and family at this
time.”
