Katie Price’s ex-husband Kieran Hayler splits from ‘soul mate’ fiancee
Kieran Hayler has split from fiancee Michelle Pentecost after seven years together despite calling her his ‘soulmate’.
The pair got together in 2018, shortly after he split from Katie Price, 46, although their divorce was yet to be finalised at the time.
He and Michelle, 42, share their son Apollo Phoenix, three, who they are reportedly continuing to co-parent amicably.
Kieran, 37, also has two children Bunny, 10, and Jett, 11, with his glamour model ex and was the stepfather to Michelle’s son Valentino, 14.
They have called it quits after getting engaged on a romantic holiday to the Maldives five years ago, while still in the middle of divorce proceedings with Katie.
‘The couple separated on good terms and remain close with their focus first on their son Apollo,’ a representative told The Sun.
Kieran would regularly post loved-up snaps of Michelle, who he met in the playground of his kids’ school, on Instagram.
In a heartfelt Valentine’s Day post in 2020, he wrote: ‘My valentine!!!! My best friend, my rock and my soul mate. Yu have completed me and I am the happiest I have ever been.’
He also called Michelle his ‘perfect match’ and a source previously told The Sun that he had been planning to propose ‘for a long time’.
‘He’s known he wanted to do this for ages, but wanted to wait for the perfect moment,’ they revealed at the time.
Their relationship has not been easy though with a few infamous run-ins with Katie dotted over the years, including one which resulted in a restraining order.
In February 2019, Michelle reported Katie to the police following an incident in the school playground, where she accused Katie of being ‘verbally abusive’ to her.
The Mucky Mansion star was banned from contacting Michelle directly or indirectly for five years and avoided jail time after breaching this in 2022.
Kieran and Katie married in 2013 but five years later Katie learned he had cheated on her again with their children’s nanny and called things off.
Over the years, the exes have had plenty of public clashes, particularly surrounding raising their children.
Kieran has not shared a picture of Michelle on his Instagram since July 2024 but has posted plenty of snaps with Apollo in the meantime.
