Peter Andre has asked his ex-wife Katie Price if she is ‘genuinely happy’ as he weighed in on her marriage to Lee Andrews.
The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans when she married the so-called businessman, 42, in Dubai in January within 10 days of meeting him.
Now her ex-husband Peter, who she has finally called a truce on a bitter 16-year feud with, has shared his thoughts on the new marriage.
Peter and Katie married in 2005, little more than a year after meeting as campmates on the third series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and went on to welcome two children, Junior, now 20, and Princess, 18, before announcing their abrupt separation and subsequent divorce in 2009.
Speaking to The Sun, when asked what he makes of the marriage, Peter said: ‘So my thing to Kate is, “Are you genuinely happy? And if you are, then that’s great”.
‘Who am I to tell someone what they should or shouldn’t be doing? Or even giving an opinion about it? I want her to be happy.’
Katie recently revealed that Lee has already met Peter as the former couple spoke for the first time in nine years.
Despite her family sharing their concerns about her marriage to Lee, several of his ex-partners making bombshell accusations and a slew of his claims about his finances, business acumen and celebrity links being revealed as false – Katie is certain that he is the real deal.
She even took the step of introducing him to her former husband Peter, 53, with the two men speaking over FaceTime.
Katie told The Sun last month: ‘It was time. Ironically I was FaceTiming Princess the other day when she was with Pete, so she put me onto him. It was the first time in nine years I’ve seen him.
‘I was having dinner with Lee at the time and it was surreal – I was like “oh hello ex-husband, welcome to my new husband!”
‘They had a nice chat. I was like “what the f*** is going on here?!”‘
In the interview, Katie said she has only been in love three times in her life – Peter, her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers and now Lee.
She was also married to Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012 and Kieran Hayler from 2013 to 2021 who she did not name.
Katie and Peter’s surprise reunion comes after they followed each other on Instagram after confirming they’d finally called a truce on their bitter 16-year feud.
Katie is said to have stopped following Peter on the platform in 2021 after he reportedly called in a lawyer over claims she made in her memoir Harvey & Me.
She wrote that the Mysterious Girl hitmaker had no interest in keeping in touch with his former stepson Harvey, 23, following their split.
But eagle-eyed fans spotted last month that the pair followed each other on social media, a week after they shared a joint statement about ‘moving on positively’.
Friends claimed their children are the reason Katie and Peter resolved the acrimony that followed their divorce.
‘Pete’s team have been begging Katie to end this for good for months. As far back as November, they were calling Katie and her family to try to end the row.
‘She was resolute she wouldn’t make peace with him. It was the children who made her realise she needed to draw a line in the sand. Katie has done this for them’, a source told The Sun.
Katie and Peter revealed the acrimony that followed their divorce has been resolved.
The announcement marks their first interaction in 16 years, with the former couple insisting they now intend to ‘close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect’.
They added: ‘We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children.
‘We have reached a mutual agreement, both legally and personally confirming that neither of us will speak negatively about the other going forward.
‘This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability. We want to stand united for our children.
‘We are hoping this is a start of a positive relationship. We ask for understanding and support from both the media and the public as we move ahead.’
