‘I’m vulnerable and needy’
In the midst of her drugs scandal and wild partying, the star gave a revealing interview on the back of her new reality show
She was forced to put on a S brave face last week as she promoted the latest series of her reality show, My Crazy Life, just days after a newspaper’s revelation that she’d confessed to friends about taking cocaine. And it was clear to Closer that Jordan was struggling.
The mum-of-five told the assembled journalists, “People think I’m strong and I am gutsy – but I’m also soft and vulnerable and needy and just want to be loved... There have been mornings when I don’t even want to get out of bed – I just wanted to sleep. I’ve been having mental health issues, but no one knows because I hide it well.”
Jordan, 40 – real name Katie Price – has endured a testing few months, and revealed that in the wake of her recent marriage split, she’s been plagued with loneliness.SADNESS
Giving an insight into her secret heartache, she revealed, “The sad thing about my break-ups is that it always ends up just being me and Harvey. My exes never want to know Harvey – they don’t ring to see how he is. They don’t want to see him – no matter what they portray. Obviously, I split the kids and share, so it always ends up being me and Harvey in the house in the evenings – but he goes to bed at 6.30pm, so I sit there and I’m like, ‘Oh’. It’s boring.”
The former glamour model married former stripper Kieran after just a month of dating in 2013 and the family dynamic meant that while Jordan was out working, Kieran became a house husband. She later said he’d turned from “a stripper into Farmer Giles”.
VALUABLE LESSONS
Now, the newly-single mum maintains it was in fact Kieran who created all the stress. She said, “He did nothing around the house. What did he do all day?! Shagged people, that’s what.”
Just weeks after parting ways with Kieran, Jordan – who has also been married to Peter Andre and Alex Reid – dived headlong into her new romance with personal trainer Kris Boyson. But despite him joking on social media about a “wedding rehearsal”, amid reports he’s set to become husband number four, Jordan insists she’s learned some valuable lessons in love.
COMMITMENT
She said, “I’ve learned never to get married quick, don’t just have babies, get to know someone first, enjoy your life, never leave your friends out, don’t be with toxic people.”
But after the interview, the big question was, can Jordan ever really learn from her past mistakes?
Psychologist Emma Kenny says, “Katie has said she isn’t going to rush into relationships – and yet she’s already moved on with a new man weeks after splitting with Kieran. However, the fact that she is aware of her previous mistakes and has publicly insisted that she isn’t going to rush into marriage and babies again is heartening. It’s a powerful commitment. The best thing for her right now is to be on her own – but if she wants to date Kris, she should take things slow, make no commitments and take time to grieve her past relationships and move forward.”
