Katie Price has finalised her divorce from Kieran Hayler after being separated from him for three years.
The former glamour model had previously thought that the legal proceedings were completed in March, however the decree absolute that finalises the divorce only came in this week.
This means that Katie, 43, is now able to marry her current partner Carl Woods as she is “legally single”.
A source revealed to The Sun: “Katie got mixed up back in March and thought that signing the papers meant she was ‘free’ of Kieran – she didn’t realise it would be another few months until she was legally single.”

Katie’s representation confirmed to The Sun: “This is correct. Katie believed the divorce had been finalised but this was in fact the decree nisi – not the absolute.
“The divorce was amicable – focus being on positive parenting relations for their children.
“Katie looks forward to planning her wonderful wedding to Carl Woods as she’s now officially single to proceed.”

Kieran, 33, went to the MailOnline to say: “As of July 12 we are now divorced. It took just over three years. We didn’t rush it; it was in the process for a long time and Covid-19 hit, which held up the courts. It wasn’t in our hands.”
He added: “I’m not even joking, it didn’t cost any more than £500, because there was no legal battle. We share custody of the children and we arranged that ourselves, and we do stick to it.

“I said to her, I will be the only person that doesn’t take any money from you because that’s not who I am, I don’t want her money.”
In 2013, the pair married after knowing each other for only two months, but they then split in 2018.
In March, Katie told The Sun: “The only good thing that came out of it was my children.
“I can now continue my life with all the badness behind me. All I can do is wish him luck. I can’t wait to continue my life with Carl.”
During their five year marriage, Kieran and Katie had two children together, Jett, seven, and Bunny, six.
Kieran had slept with the children’s nanny, Nikki Brown as well as Katie’s best pal of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and her friend Chrissy Thomas.
He is now engaged to Michelle Penticost who is pregnant with their child.
Kieran was Katie’s third marriage after Peter Andre in 2005 and Alex Reid in 2010.
Katie now has plans to marry Carl after claiming he’s “the one”.
