Katie Price and Peter Andre are currently embroiled in a very public war of words – and it’s not the first time the former couple have clashed with each other
Former lovebirds Katie Price and Peter Andre are once again embroiled in a feud, but it’s not their first public spat – with Peter’s current wife Emily Andre even finding herself caught up in the drama back in 2022.
In an unusual move, Peter took to Instagram this evening to make a scathing remark about his ex-wife, asserting that their two children, Junior and Princess Andre, have been under his care since 2018 “for their safety”. He openly dismissed Katie’s plea for peace.
Katie was quick to hit back, with her representatives insisting that the mother of five “will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was” and that the issue is “now in her lawyers hands.”
Rewinding to 2022, Katie previously lashed out at Emily, who has three children with Peter. She posted a magazine cover featuring Emily on her Instagram Stories, labelling her ex’s new wife a “disgusting person”.
“My mouth has been shut for so long but I’ve had enough of people selling stories on me and particularly this so called woman @dr_emily_official,” Katie vented in the now-deleted Instagram Story, reports the Mirror.
“Always said I don’t want to be famous yet doesn’t do too bad to stay away from media and TV and now trying to make a career out of it. So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children’s faces up!”.
Katie, who was penning her thoughts one year after her drug-drive collision, then levelled accusations at the doctor of “being jealous” of the bond she shares with her eldest daughter.
“She claims to be a doctor who clearly doesn’t have a clue about mental health,” the mother-of-five went on in her social media rant.
“Oh and stopped my daughter from visiting me at The Priory when she wanted to see her mum. She is so jealous of my relationship I have with Princess and puts me down. Emily you are not and never will be my kids’ parent so mind your own business, your so two faced and definitely not the person you portray to the public. I think your a disgusting person so stop trying to interfere in my life.”
Peter, 52, and Katie, 47, brought their first child into the world back in June 2005, when Katie delivered her second son – Junior Andre.
Before their split in 2009, the former pair also welcomed daughter Princess Tiaamii Andre into the world on 29 June 2007.
Peter discovered love once more with then medical student Emily MacDonagh – tying the knot on 11 July 2015 near Exeter at Mamhead House.
The blissful pair share three children together, Ameila, Theodore James, and Arabella Rose.
Peter’s statement posted on Instagram on Thursday night declared: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.
“The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.
“In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”
