Kieran Hayler doesn’t think Katie Price ever got over ex-husband Peter Andre.
The 31-year-old former stripper claimed his estranged wife talked about the ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer, who she married in 2005, every day during their marriage, making him think her first husband was the true “love of her life”, even though they split less than four years after tying the knot.
Kieran – who has Jett, five, and four-year-old Bunny with Katie – told The Sun newspaper: “There is not a day that went by in five years that I was married to Kate that she didn’t mention his name.

“Not saying in a positive way because it pretty much was never positive.
“But, for somebody to talk about their ex-husband so much, it almost makes you think that maybe he was the love of her life and she never got over that.”
He did acknowledge, though, that as Katie and Peter share two children – Junior, 13, and 11-year-old Princess – he understood in a way why Peter’s name would come up in conversation, although the frequency still made him question her lingering feelings for Peter.
Peter has since married again and has two children – Amelia, four, and one-year-old Theo – with doctor wife Emily.
Katie was also married to Alex Reid and engaged to Leandro Penna before she met Kieran.
She has a 16-year-old son, Harvey, with ex Dwight Yorke.
ED! has contacted Katie’s rep for comment
Kieran and Katie married in January 2013 in the Bahamas after a whirlwind romance, but their relationship experienced several rocky patches before they split for good in May this year.
Former plasterer and stripper Kieran cheated on a pregnant Katie with her best friend in 2014. A further allegation of infidelity surfaced earlier this year, when Katie accused Kieran of getting close to a 19-year-old shop worker.
Kieran’s comments come after Kris Boyson, who dated Katie, 40, for a few months earlier this year, recently claimed the ‘Loose Women’ star had been left “damaged” by the end of her marriage to Peter.
He said: “She had such a hard time after Pete, I reckon she has really struggled from that. I think that was really mentally hard for her and I think that damaged her the most.”
Katie is taking a break from the spotlight right now to seek treatment in rehab for post-traumatic stress disorder.

It’s been a difficult year for Katie with beloved mum Amy being diagnosed with a terminal lung condition, her marriage to third husband Kieran breaking down, and a romance with boyfriend Kris Boyson recently ending.
She’s also faced headlines about her financial situation, the state of her mansion and allegations of wild partying, including a video clip filmed during a hen do in Majorca showing her appearing to rap “I love coke”.
