‌
Their 2009 split shocked fans and triggered a years-long saga of public rows, barbed interviews and court battles. Now, with Peter hitting out at his ex-wife in a new bombshell statement, their decades-long feud has ramped up again.

From that first shock announcement to the most recent legal showdown, here's how the once-golden couple's love story unravelled in front of the world's eyes. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

Split announcement - 2009
Following a rocky romance after meeting on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, Katie and Peter split in 2009. The TV couple had been married for four years, and had welcomed children Junior and Princess.
A statement from the couple's management company, Can Associates Limited, said at the time: " Peter Andre and Katie Price are separating after four-and-a-half years of marriage... They have both requested that the media respect their families' privacy at this difficult time."
The joint statement marked the last time the exes would ever put on a united front. Katie and Peter, who remained with Can Associates Limited, embarked on multiple public spats as they moved on.
Katie pays Peter libel damages - 2011
Two years after their split, Katie issued a public apology to her ex-husband, admitting she had been wrong to suggest he had cheated and been insincere about his feelings during their marriage.
‌
Peter had launched defamation proceedings in 2009, soon after their break-up, in response to remarks Katie made during interviews with Heat magazine and on The Graham Norton Show.
She agreed to pay "substantial" damages, which Peter's solicitor confirmed would be placed into a trust fund for Harvey Price - Katie's eldest son from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.
Social media spat - 2013
During Christmas 2013, Katie appeared to take a swipe at Peter in a series of tweets. She wrote: "What kind of Dad doesn't let their children see their mum not even 1 day over Christmas when the children want 2 c their mum #fakefamilyman."
‌
In another message to a follower, she reportedly added: "From Xmas Eve am to NYE am. I had them last Xmas Day, he had them in the eve onwards. So selfish. Can someone remind him he has a son called Harvey that calls him dad or was that just for show too."
Katie brands Peter's new wife Emily 'disgusting' - 2022
At the start of 2022, Katie sparked controversy with a quickly-deleted Instagram Story in which she launched an apparent unprovoked attack on her ex-husband's wife, Dr Emily Andre, who he started dating in 2012.
‌
Sharing a magazine cover featuring the mother-of-three, Katie branded her 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 began.
She went on to accuse Emily of courting the media despite claiming she didn't want to be famous, adding: "So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children's faces up!"
‌
Writing a year on from her drug-drive crash, Katie also claimed Emily was "jealous" of her relationship with her eldest daughter, Princess.
"She claims to be a doctor who clearly doesn't have a clue about mental health," Katie alleged, further accusing Emily of stopping Princess from visiting her at The Priory.
The mum-of-five ended the post by saying: "Emily you are not and never will be my kids' parent so mind your own business, you're so two-faced and definitely not the person you portray to the public. I think you're a disgusting person so stop trying to interfere in my life."
‌
'Pete was a nobody' - 2024
Katie reignited tensions with her ex during an appearance on the podcast Anything Goes with James English, where she claimed Peter's career had been reignited by their relationship.
"When we did jobs together I'd always get more money, make sure we had separate contracts," she told the host, suggesting Peter "found that a bit hard."
‌
"I was like, well hang on, you've just turned up in the jungle, I've already got a career going on. You had a song like, how many years ago? You need to earn it. This is the truth, I don't care what anyone says - I made Pete again. I made him," she continued.
Doubling down on her comments, Katie said: "He was no one before he went in the jungle and that's the truth, that's not me being a b****. He done that one hit, like 10 years ago, and I think he forgets where he came from."
'Don't speak to him' - 2024
During an appearance on the Louis Theroux Podcast in an episode released last year, Katie once again took aim at her ex-husband Peter. She claimed she had been "worth more" than him when they married and explained that the pair had always insisted on separate contracts.
‌
Reflecting on his career before I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, Katie remarked: "Who was he? I was already established. He met me and it was his lucky day. So we always had separate contracts. There's no way I'm splitting half and half - no thanks."
When asked about their relationship today, she told Louis: "[I] don't speak to him." Pressed further on why, she replied: "Just don't. It's all through legals."
She also alleged that Peter "was quite jealous" of her work commitments during their marriage.
‌
Princess Andre speaks out - 2025
Princess Andre has unveiled her very own ITV2 series, The Princess Diaries, chronicling her step into adulthood, exploring the worlds of fashion, beauty, and life under the spotlight.
The fly-on-the-wall series includes footage of her modeling debut in Ibiza and offers a candid look into her personal journey toward independence. Alongside her father Peter Andre, sister Junior, and stepmother Emily, the documentary follows Princess as she carves out her identity in the industry.
‌
Katie has been noticeably absent from the series - something she described as upsetting and hurtful in posts on her podcast and social media.
She alleges her exclusion wasn't a personal choice, but enforced by producers aiming to preserve Princess's independent branding and "middle-class influencer" image.
Despite speculation of a feud, Princess herself has pushed back on these rumours, insisting: "The show is not actually about any of my parents. It is about me." She also clarified that Katie is featured via a voice note in the premiere episode, although filming restrictions kept her out of on-camera appearances.
‌
Bombshell statements - 2025
Just hours after Katie Price appeared to extend an olive branch to her ex-husband by suggesting a ceasefire in their years-long public disputes, Peter Andre responded with a blistering statement that left little doubt he has no interest in reconciliation.
Posting on Instagram, the father-of-five broke what he described as 16 years of silence, writing: "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."
In response to the statement, a spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit-for-tat comments, but more importantly, she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers' hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was..."
