She`s absolutely unbelievable! The other day she was announcing that she was 6 months pregnant with baby number five, and how happy they were, she was planning to have several more babies, then today she`s saying that they`re getting divorced! Those poor kiddies of hers, they mustn`t know if they`re on the head or their elbow, or who their dads are.

Yes, I feel for the children - so many "daddies" they must be confused. She really knows how to pick 'em! Have to say I don't follow her life very closely - how many marriages is this?

Nelliemoser Wed 07-May-14 17:35:48

There's her and Kerry Katona who has just had baby #five by yet another hubby. (This I just discovered when picking up a celeb magazine in the hairdressers last week.)

What is so worrying is that these women seem so unable to choose decent men. Whether that is because they have never really had experience of a decent partner or their expectations have been distorted by celebrity mad media I do not know.

It's sad for them and their children. They seem unable to function as independent women without a man in tow.
There are some celebrities etc, who do have happy and stable marriages and raise well grounded children.

Like him or not, I think Peter Andre was (and probably still is) a good father to his own and her first-born child.

Ana Wed 07-May-14 17:57:12

I agree, and she was at her most stable and likeable (if that's possible!) during their marriage as well.

KatyK Wed 07-May-14 17:58:03

Apparently present hubby has been having a 7 month affair with her best friend. (I was a bit bored this afternoon that's the only reason I know honest)

Nelliemoser Wed 07-May-14 17:59:25

Peter Andre's child is not her first born son.

Katie Price's eldest child is Harvey who is about 12 now. His father is an ex-footballer Dwight Yorke.
Harvey is severely disabled with autism, blindness and Prader-Willi syndrome. So the poor woman is struggling with this very disabled child (or the Nanny is).

rosequartz Wed 07-May-14 18:04:50

I thought I said that, perhaps not. His two children with her and also her first-born son who was not his.

merlotgran Wed 07-May-14 18:05:20

I think rosesquartz said he was a good father to his children AND her first born son.

He's not my cup of tea but I think he's a good father. The best they're likely to get anyway.

rosequartz Wed 07-May-14 18:09:18

And, presumably, his latest child with his present partner.

Come on, keep up (if you want to!)

Don't worry, she will probably find someone else soon.
Poor, confused kids. Let's hope they keep the same nanny for some stability.

Peter Andre really cares for Harvey,but he once said that she doesn`t let him see Harvey as much as he`d like, because he isn`t his father, which is very unfair, seeing as his real father doesn`t want to know.

Nelliemoser Wed 07-May-14 18:34:40

Rosequartz Yes! sorry you did say that. I didn't read it quite right. blush

merlotgran Wed 07-May-14 18:45:20

Do you think she's doing it for extra child benefit?? grin

Deedaa Wed 07-May-14 21:52:21

Had caught up with the new pregnancy but not the latest divorce! She does seem to have a wonderful talent for picking men who will treat her as a commodity - and then complaining when they do. It's a pity she didn't stick with Peter Andre. He seemed to care about her and the children and tried to stop her taking herself too seriously

dorsetpennt Thu 08-May-14 09:55:05

Oh my god how does she do it. This nonentity, no talent, no brains woman has us talking about her. She is so publicity hungry she will do anything to stay in the public eye. Especially as she is getting older and there are other no brain publicity hungry women coming after her. Who cares about her stupid life when there are women with real problems .

annodomini Thu 08-May-14 10:47:54

Deeda, is it surprising that men treat her as a commodity? She has created herself as a commodity, by having those ridiculous breast enlargements and by flaunting them on Page 3.

janthea Thu 08-May-14 11:19:55

And the frightening thing is that some girls see her as a role model and want to be just like her - famous and rich - without having to do any work!! confused

KatyK Thu 08-May-14 14:13:42

I can't agree that she has no brains. I think she has been extremely clever to get what she wants out of life. I would imagine she is a multi-millionairess.
She comes up with an idea for a novel, gets someone else to write it and it sells big time. She has written several autobiographies (or someone else has)as well as clothing ranges, perfumes and the rest. I used to work with a young girl who really looked up to Katie and wanted to be like her. At the time I was horrified. Looking back, I sort of 'get it'. This particular girl was very overweight, in a low paid job, struggling with life and to her Katie had 'made it'. It's not the way I see it and I find it incredibly sad, but I can kind of see where they are coming from.

Deedaa Thu 08-May-14 22:38:29

That's the point anno isn't it? She turns herself into a glorified blow up doll and is then surprised that she attracts men who can't see past the size of the boobs.
It's a shame she can't see what a good role model she could be if she devoted herself to her business interests and "writing" and stopped continually bouncing from man to man.

Nonu Thu 08-May-14 23:05:51

I think the post of KATY 14.13
sums up what I feel about Katie Price.

Soutra Thu 08-May-14 23:30:07

It has taken me a wee while to work out who this is!("glamour " model formerly called Jordan?)
The one thing so many of these so called celebs have in common seems to be their enviable fertility. Big deal? I despair when I think of the potential for dysfunctional family life. Better to be an ordinary person with an ordinary mum and dad.

glammanana Fri 09-May-14 18:19:14

All the different partners and daddy's to children it surely can't be the "fathers" fault all the time in my opinion,the common dedominator here is Katie Price, I feel so sorry for the children they are getting so much older and will be well aware of her lifestyle all too soon.

petallus Fri 09-May-14 18:28:21

A few years' ago I watched a program about Katie Price.

She came over as intelligent, strong, and loving to her children.

Also an astute business woman.

Sorry!

nightowl Fri 09-May-14 18:29:32

I actually feel sorry for Katie Price. I think she is genuinely looking for a 'happily ever after' and convinces herself each time that she has found it. I think she has been a fantastic mother to Harvey and at least she does not thrust her children into the public eye to the extent that Peter Andre does. I really thought they were well suited but nothing seems to last in sleb world.

I think Katie was a very pretty girl who has ruined her looks and her body and I'm sure she has serious issues with her body image. Her mum always seems very normal and down to earth and I wonder what she makes of all this?

nightowl Fri 09-May-14 18:30:15

Crossed posts petallus! Not just me with a soft spot then!
