Katie Price had reached out to her ex-husband Peter Andre on his 45th birthday, praising the singer and presenter as a “great dad.”

The former glamour model, 40, shared a photo of Andre with their two children, Princess, 11, and Junior, 13, on her Instagram Story to mark the occasion.

“Happy birthday to @peterandre. Thank you for always being a great dad to Princess and Junior,” she wrote.

Andre and Price married in 2005 after meeting on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, but announced their separation in 2009.

The model and reality star went on to tie the knot with MMA fighter Alex Reid in 2010 before splitting the following year; she then married Keiran Hayler in 2013, but the pair parted ways in 2018.

Last month, Hayler claimed that Andre was “the love of [Price’s] live,” and said that he could never “compete” with the singer.

“She always said if it wasn’t for her celeb lifestyle, the reality shows and stuff, her and Peter probably would’ve lasted,” he told New! magazine.

“He was the love of her life and no one can compete with that.”

In December, Price claimed that she thought that she “would’ve been with [Andre] forever” in the Christmas special of her reality show My Crazy Life, and claimed that the “magazine and TV-based” nature of their relationship made things difficult.

“Mine and Pete’s relationship was very magazine and TV-based,” she said. “We weren’t really left alone to enjoy our relationship. Everything was documented.

“But the best thing that come [sic] out of it was Junior and Princess.

“I would say, in a nutshell, Pete was the perfect one, then. I actually thought I would’ve been with him forever.”

The couple appeared in several ITV2 series throughout their marriage, including When Jordan Met Peter and Katie & Peter.
