Is Katie Price engaged again? A look at her eight failed engagements (original) (raw)
Katie Price has sparked conversation that she was engaged for the ninth time.
The former glamour model, who was declared bankrupt for the second time in March this year, was seen flashing her sparkling diamond ring set in a gold band while sunning herself on holiday in Turkey earlier this month with her love and Married At First Sight star JJ Slater. Pictures first emerged of the reality star, 46, when published by MailOnline on Friday. In Turkey, she also got her sixth face lift.
Price and Slater's six-month romance has been fast-moving and something of a whirlwind after they went public with their relationship in February earlier this year. There has been talk of marriage and babies too, so Price's latest diamond ring display may not come as a huge surprise. Yahoo reached out to Katie Price's representatives for further comment.
As there could be wedding bells on the horizon, we take a look back at Price's eight failed engagements and three divorces over the years while the reality TV star has made her name in the spotlight and showbiz world.

Her engagements include Carl Woods, Kris Boyson, Kieran Hayler, Leandro Penna, Alex Reid, Peter Andre, Scott Sullivan and Warren Furman (Ace). Out of her eight engagements, Price walked down the aisle three times. We take a look at her engagement history.

Price and Love Island contestant Carl Woods had a rocky romance that played out in the headlines for three years after it begun in 2020. They had talked excitedly about getting married and a future of having children together, however it didn't pan out as they had hoped.
When they got engaged, Price defended her choice to get engaged for the eighth time. She told Good Morning Britain in 2021: "I know so many people out there are like, ‘Oh yeah, we’ve heard this before.' Yeah, because I’ve rushed into things so much, made wrong choices but my head wasn’t right. My head is so right now, I’m a different person."
It only come to light recently that Price had a miscarriage during their romance. The couple had spoken about having IVF at the time but they didn't reveal their secret miscarriage heartbreak until Price's new book hit shelves earlier this year.
In her most confessional memoir yet This is Me: The High Life. The Dark Days. The FULL Story, she shone a light on the heartbreaking story for the first time. She wrote: "Carl and I went through rounds of IVF and I did fall pregnant, but I miscarried quite early on. That was fate too. But having failed IVF and then having IVF only to miscarry is very horrific."

Price set her heart on Kris Boyson when she had separated from her third husband Hayler, although they were still married. After a year of dating, they decided to put a ring on their romance as Price shocked the Loose Women panel with their happy news. "Can't you see!" Price happily told the panel while flashing the ring.
It was back in July 2019, she showed off a huge diamond engagement ring on her wedding finger. She said on the show: "So Kris bought the ring, for that finger, so there you go... I’ve got love in my life. The show (My Crazy Life) is going really well, it’s the highest-rating show, so everything’s going really well."
However, the couple never made any wedding plans public. Boyson had starred on her reality series My Crazy Life, in which he apologised to her for cheating. They split in September 2019, reunited again but it was all over by the November. At the same time, Price was declared bankrupt for the first time.
Kieran Hayler
Price and Hayler signed the divorce papers in 2021, three years after their split to pave the way for her to marry Woods - although they never made it down the aisle. She told The Sun at the time: "Finally, we've signed the divorce papers. I'm so happy that I'm free from that marriage. The only good thing that came out of it was my children."
The couple were married in the Bahamas in January 2013, making it Price's third marriage. It was spontaneous, with Hayler only popping the question to Price on Christmas Day the month before. They have two children together, Price's youngest of her five kids, Jett and Bunny.

Their marriage was never meant to last though, with Price accusing Hayler of cheating on her multiple times but it was his year-long affair with the nanny that ended things for good. Hayler told The Sun: "This wasn’t a big love affair, I didn’t fancy Nikki. I’m a sex addict and needed a thrill. If our nanny had been 80 I’d probably have tried to manipulate her into having sex too."
Leandro Penna
Just months before Price would marry for the third times, she called it quits on her romance with model Leandro Penna. Sparks flew when they met on a TV show in Argentina. They had decided they would get married with Price announcing on Twitter in April 2012: "No date for the wedding has been announced. Woooo hoooo so excited."

By October, they decided to part ways amicably. Price revealed the reasons behind the split included the "pressures of work on different continents and natural demands of family ties". There was never any bad blood between the pair. "Accordingly we've mutually decided to call it a day, but we really wish each other nothing but the very best," she added.
Alex Reid
Seven months into their romance, Price and Alex Reid got married in Las Vegas in February 2010. Their marriage was over within a year. Their romance had featured on reality TV shows What Katie Did Next and Katie & Alex: For Better for Worse.
Reid is one of Price's creditors. She was declared bankrupt for the second time in March this year. In 2023, a High Court judge ordered Price to pay her second ex-husband £25,000 for misusing private information about his sex life.

In July this year, Reid told the court during one of Price's bankruptcy hearings that she was a "calculated, cold person" and her creditors were "not just owed money, they are owed peace of mind". He continued: "I myself have suffered not only financial loss but the wellbeing of my family and my own mental health have suffered at the hands of Price."
Peter Andre
Arguably Price's most famous romance was her headline-grabbing romance with singer Andre. Cameras were rolling when they fell in love on hit ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in 2004. They would go onto become one of the hottest couples in the TV world.
They were married in 2005 and had two children together, Junior and Princess who now are forging their own careers in the spotlight after their famous parents. However, their romance wasn't made to last with it all coming to an end in 2009.

Price said she was pushed to breaking point when their marriage was over. Her new autobiography This is Me: The High Life. The Dark Days. The FULL Story detailed some of her biggest regrets including the time she wished she spoke up more during her divorce and while it played out in the headlines. The media played Price against Andre, with people even being able to buy 'Team Kate' or 'Team Pete' T-shirts and hats.
She wrote in her book: "People made a fortune from a devastating time in my life. There was no ‘team’, it wasn’t a game. It was a sad situation, it was a marriage break-up and yet it was treated with mockery and amusement by the press, and sadly, also by people I trusted, who saw me at breaking point and, despite that, continued over and over again to keep pushing me down."

Scott Sullivan had proposed to Price before she headed into the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here jungle that would change her life forever. They had been dating from 2002 but their romance came to a dramatic end when Price fell in love with Andre on the ITV show.
Watching the show back home, Sullivan was furious and threatened to "punch his lights out" before flying to Australia where it was filmed. It spelled the end of their engagment.
Warren Furman

Warren Furman, who was Ace from The Gladiators TV show, was the first man to get engaged to Price in 1997. The TV star asked her to marry him with a £3000 ring. Now he has swapped his TV career for becoming a vicar and prays for his ex.
While he made some bitter comments about his ex in the past, the vicar has moved on from that and he has said he admires her. He told The Sun in January this year: "I have great admiration for her. I know how difficult it is being a parent."
He added: "If I see a picture of her in the papers and magazines, I pray that she would know God as I do and realise that her identity doesn’t have to be in altering her body or having operations. God loves who she is."
