Peter Andre was ‘destroyed’ by Katie Price divorce that ‘broke his heart’

GMB: Katie Price reveals Peter Andre was her WORST husband

Peter Andre has been happily married to his wife Emily since 2015 but back in 2009, he was broken after separating from Katie Price.

The couple are already parents to nine-year-old Amelia and Theo, six, and their latest bundle of joy will make the 50-year-old a father of five as he also shares two children with ex-wife Katie Price.

While he has found happiness with Emily, who is 16 years his junior, in the wake of his divorce from Katie he was devastated.

He fled to Cyprus in the aftermath of the separation while Katie took their two children, the then 23-month-old Princess and three-year-old Junior, and her other son Harvey who was then six, to the same Maldives villa where the couple had spent their honeymoon.

It was all too much for Peter who collapsed into his brother’s arms when he was confronted by the pictures.

“Being apart from my kids is just breaking my heart,” he cried to the Daily Star in an unearthed interview from the time. “It’s destroying me – I’m absolutely gutted.”

Katie and Peter famously met in the Australian jungle when they both took part in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here in 2004,

They married in a lavish ceremony just 19 months later and Katie famously arrived in a fairytale carriage and wore a bubblegum pink wedding gown.

Although they welcomed two children and Peter became a father figure, they split acrimoniously four and a half years later.

Their last few days as a couple were captured at the time on their ITV reality show, Katie And Peter: Stateside and the cracks were already visible.

One episode showed them having a blazing row and Peter admitted there were times when he “hated” his wife.

“I get it all the time on and off – but I love that girl,” he said on the show, which was recorded three months before they split.

“I love her incredibly but when I hate her, I hate her. Hate’s a bad word – when I’m not happy, I’m very not happy,” he confessed at the time.

Katie’s first marriage after the split was to cage fighter Alex Reid who she wed a year later, before splitting in 2012. Peter and Emily got married in 2015.
