KIERAN Hayler has taken a thinly veiled swipe at ex Katie Price in a gushing birthday post to fiancée Michelle Penticost.

Kieran, who has son Jett, eight, and daughter Bunny, seven with Katie, shared a photo of Michelle as he praised her on her 40th birdathy.
He penned: "Happy birthday to my absolute world. 40 years old and not looking a day past 30 yes I am bloody lucky.
"Yes I may not be perfect, and my life comes with many ups and down but having the perfect side kick to stand by me no matter what life throws at us is all I can ask for.
"Michelle you are my best friend, my soul mate, and my rock. You stand by me no matter what in every decision I take. You are the perfect role model for my/our children, I asked you to be my fiancée because I want to grow old with you and continue our laughs and life together. I hope you enjoy all I have in store for you and your big day. I love you and I am the luckiest man alive."
He melted hearts with his posts, as one said: "Happy birthday beautiful lady, can't believe she's 40 I honestly thought she was in her mid late 20s, your a beautiful family ❤♥💕💖💗💜 "
Another said: "Well said a natural beauty and that’s what having kids is all about putting them first in a relationship and living a family life happy together glad kids have u both love seeing uz happy xx"
And one more wrote: "Happy birthday Hun, Kieron is right you are the perfect role model xx"

Her exes are allegedly furious that the kids haven't had a say in the matter, with friends branding her decision "selfish".
A source said: "Kieran and Peter are livid Katie hasn't taken the children's feelings into consideration and has gone completely behind everybody's back.
"Pete has already sent legal letters today. Kieran feels she is putting Carl first and is a very selfish mother and has done this because all she cares about is her relationship with him."
Katie addressed the claims on Instagram last night.
She accused both her exes of having a negative impact on her mental health, adding: "I'm asking you both kindly to leave me alone now and stop making money from my name and using it for headlines involving our kids. Using kids as a pawn is not fair."
The former glamour model has been married three times.
She walked down the aisle with pop star Peter, 48, in 2005 after meeting on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Their relationship was documented by TV cameras and they had two children, son Junior, 16, and 14-year-old daughter Princess.
