Here's a look at the tumultuous relationship between Katie Price and Peter Andre

"I wouldn't do this to Pete and deprive him and his newborn from seeing the kids for its 1st Christmas." Even though Katie did not hold her breathe for a second when it came to bringing Peter down, he decided to do the contrary. 

Peter did not comment on his relationship with Katie until he appeared in an interview with Piers Morgan. “Something big happened, which I won’t reveal as I don’t want my kids reading it. But when I tell them, I’ll come on your show and reveal what actually happened. Katie knows 100 percent the reason why I left her and I am 100 percent sure that what happened definitely did happen," he said, as reported by Closer at that time. 

Meanwhile, to make it loud and clear that she had no plans of rekindling her romance with Peter, Katie went on to get a black cross tattoed over her inking of Peter’s name. However, in 2009, Katie hinted that she might have had a change of heart when she went back to the jungle of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" She was the first person to come back on the show for the second time but Katie insisted there was a bigger meaning for her to come back on the show. 

The reality star said that she wanted to return to the show in order to get a closure on her relationship with Peter. After all, it was the place where they fell in love. Some speculated if this was the reason for her going on the show, there were chances that the two might repair their relationship in the future.

However, things did not change between the pair. In 2011, while appearing on This Morning, Peter revealed he’d had the tattoo of Katie’s name removed from his ring finger. Despite refraining from commenting about the relationship, Peter did make a statement about wanting to be friends with the reality star. 

“If someone has done something to me, I never go back. And I never have. I just wanted to try and work together for the kids’ sake. I held out an olive branch. I thought, ‘How can we hate each other when we spent so much time loving each other’," he said in an interview with Heat Magazine, as reported by Mirror. But becoming friends was also a long wait for the couple as the next year Katie filed a court case against Peter which claimed he had leaked details about her private life. The court documents stated that Katie was suing for ‘misuse of private information’ and ‘suffering serious distress’. Peter hit back at this time by stating that Katie had an affair while the two were together. However, Katie has always denied this claim. 

But things seemed to take a sudden turn around 2015 when it appeared like the pair had finally moved on and worked on their differences. The pair would often tweet about each other. While appearing on ITV’s Lorraine, Peter confessed he was surprised to see how Katie and he were able to work things out. 

“It’s really strange even with things that have happened in the past, me and Kate we’re ok now," he said at that time. Things happened to be going so well for the pair that in February 2016 they even spoke about plans of having a family photo taken. 

The pair often spoke about what it was like to co-parent two kids. While appearing on the Day Time talk show Peter admitted that he was aware how Katie and he held different views but insisted that they tried to work around it. "I'm very strict on lots of things but I also want them to know I can talk to them about anything. You've got to gain that trust," he said at that time. Peter even claimed that he met with Katie's son Harvey even though he and she were not in a relationship. 

Fast forward to 2018, when everyone thought things between Katie and Peter would have finally settled, reports about Peter banning Katie from seeing the kids come to light. While Peter did not directly address these claims, he did admit the kids were staying with him. "[Junior and Princess] have gone, and will go through tough times in their lives. But no matter what, Emily and I will always provide a stable home for them. People can read into that how they like," he wrote in his column for New Magazine. 

A representative of Katie came forward and revealed that the kids were, in fact, staying with Peter but only because she was trying to be emotionally fine after her recent split from husband, Kieran Hayler.  "What is important [is] that the focus is on what is best for the children during tough times as Peter has acknowledged," the spokesperson told Mirror adding that the kids are excited to be reunited with their mother soon.

While it is still uncertain of how Katie and Peter decide to take their relationship further, one thing is for sure that the couple will always puts their kids on top. The two have been trying to do what is best for their kids and they seem to be succeeding in that.
