Katie Price’s ex-husband, Kieran Hayler, has made headlines recently after being charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.

Sussex Police confirmed that the alleged offences took place between June and October 2016, while Hayler was married to the former glamour model and TV personality.

A spokesperson for Sussex Police told Metro: ‘We can confirm Kieran Hayler, 38, of Northchapel in West Sussex, has been charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.’

Hayler’s legal representative said on Monday according to MailOnline: ‘Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in their entirety.

‘Mr Hayler is fully engaged and has been co-operating with the police throughout the investigation and will continue to do so. He looks forward to his name being cleared, believing in the judicial system to do so.’

Hayler, 38, a personal trainer and former stripper, was married to Price, 47, from 2013 until their split in 2018. They had two children together Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, and divorced in 2021.

Kieran Hayler’s relationship with Katie Price

Hayler, who has worked as an actor, stripper and reality star, first met Katie in 2012 when he was around 25 and she was 34.

He proposed on Christmas Day of that year, and they married weeks later at the Sandals Royal Bahamian luxury resort in the Bahamas in January 2013. 

This was followed by a wedding blessing ceremony at the Rookery Manor Hotel in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, in March a few months later with the couple then honeymooning in the Maldives. 

Katie gave birth to her first child with Hayler, Jett Riviera, in August 2013, before they welcomed their daughter Bunny a year later.

Why did Katie Price and Kieran Hayler split?

The couple’s relationship was frequently in the headlines during their five-year marriage, which was marked by multiple public scandals.

Price discovered Hayler had been unfaithful with her best friend Jane Pountney in 2014 while pregnant with their second child, Bunny. He later admitted to another affair with one of Price’s friends, Chrissy Thomas.

Despite the infidelities, the couple reconciled twice, renewing their wedding vows in 2015 and again in 2017.

However, the relationship broke down for good the following year after Hayler was accused of another affair, this time with their nanny, Nikki Brown.

Their marriage broke down in 2018 after Hayler’s affair with Brown, with their divorce finalised in 2021.

Hayler’s representative told MailOnline: ‘The couple separated on good terms and remain close with their focus first on their son Apollo.’ 

Michelle took a restraining order out against Price while with Hayler. This happened in February 2019, when Michelle reported Katie to the police following an incident in the school playground, where she accused Katie of being ‘verbally abusive’ to her.

Since February, Hayler hasn’t introduced his followers to a new love interest on his social media. He is presumed single at present.
