When Katie Price caught her husband Kieran Hayler allegedly cheating on her with their kids’ nanny, she vowed their marriage was over and there was no going back.
But according to a new report, the mother of five is having second thoughts about dumping Kieran despite his betrayal.
The reason? Well, apparently it’s because Kieran is the one who keeps the household running smoothly – and Katie would be lost without him.
The Sun claims that Katie, 39, is reluctant to give Kieran, 30, the boot because of how much he does around the house for both her and the kids.
A source alleged: “Katie needs Kieran around – he cooks for the kids, he feeds the animals, he does the school run and he looks after Harvey.
“He’s basically unpaid help, so if she kicked him out, things would be chaos.
“However much she hates him for cheating on her, she can’t cope without him.”
In an emotional interview with The Sun on Sunday, she raged: “I was gutted. For a year I was basically paying her to [BLEEP] my husband.
“They had sex everywhere except in our bedroom, they even did it in the kids’ bathroom.”
“It’s all just a complete lie,” Nikki told MailOnline, adding, “It’s a little story that comes from her head.
“I’m going to clear my name. I’m not going to be just somebody else that she’s disposed of and thought, ‘do you know what, I’m going to use her.’
“It’s not going to happen. She’s vile.”
One second she claimed to be joining a dating app, while the next Kieran was spotted supporting her from the audience of her tour – which seemed a little odd for a guy who had been dumped by his wife for cheating on her.
Although Kieran’s rep insisted they weren’t back together, Katie herself suggested she was thawing over Kieran, who has claimed to battle sex addiction, when she told the crowd at one show: “Kieran has an addiction and he has gone back to therapy, I’ll tell you that.
“He knows he’s got problems, he knows he’s got issues, now he’s sorting it.”
She made Kieran stand up, telling him: “[Bleep]? Yeah he is a [bleep]! Stand up Kieran and take it.”
Fans have also noticed Kieran is still living in the family home as he’s shared photos from the marital bed and kitchen since Katie made his cheating ways public.
Katie had said in August she was allowing Kieran to stay at the house to maintain a civil relationship for the kids.
They share son Jett, four, and daughter Bunny, three, while Katie is also mum to sons Harvey, 15, Junior, 12, and daughter Princess, ten, from previous relationships.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “I don’t want all this hatred and I want us to maintain a civil relationship for the sake of the kids.
“That’s why he is in a separate room at the house. The plan is that he will move out gradually, for a few nights at first.”
But will that ever happen? Or will Katie allow Kieran to stay for good?
Only time (or Katie, ’cause, let’s face it, she does love to share!) will tell…
