Katie Price's ex-husband Kieran Hayler splits from fiancée after seven years

Kieran Hayler and Michelle Penticost

Kieran Hayler has split from his fiancée Michelle Penticost.

The 37-year-old dancer and the 42-year-old former flight attendant - who have one son together called Apollo Phoenix, three - have gone their separate ways after seven years together, and they remain on good terms.

A representative for Kieran - who was previously married to Katie Price - told The Sun: "The couple separated on good terms and remain close with their focus first on their son Apollo."

Their split comes four years after Kieran - who met Michelle in the primary school their children attended in 2018 - asked her to marry him while on a lavish holiday in the Maldives.

Kieran was a stepdad to her 14-year-old son Valentino, and she was a stepmother to his two kids - 10-year-old Bunny and 11-year-old Jett, who he had with glamour model Katie, 46.

In December 2012, Katie and Kieran fell head over heels for each other on the now-defunct online chat service, Blackberry Messenger. The couple married in January 2013 but split in May 2014 after Katie discovered that Kieran was having an affair with her friend Jane Pountney. They then reconciled on the basis that Kieran would get treatment for sex addiction.

In August 2017, Katie discovered Kieran was having an affair with their nanny Nikki Brown. In May 2018, Price began divorce proceedings.

Katie and Michelle did not see eye-to-eye.

Price - who is in a relationship with 31-year-old boyfriend JJ Slater, who appeared in 'Married at First Sight UK' in 2023 - was slapped with a five-year restraining order in 2019 after insulting Michelle and commenting on her weight at the school gates.

Katie avoided prison in 2022 and got 170-hours of community service and was ordered to cough up £1,500 costs after breaking the restraining order to go on a foul-mouthed rant about Michelle in a text message.

Michelle said at the time: "I feel like there's no deterrent, that's what I'm worried about.

"You never want anyone to go to prison, but you do need to have consequences for your actions. What kind of example is it setting?

"The message this has sent out is, you can break a restraining order and get just a fine and community service.

"Especially to the youth - there's people who idolise her who'll think if she can get away with it, why can't I?

"I'm a strong woman, I have two children, so we have to hopefully put this behind us."
