‘JORDAN RISKS LOSING HER KIDS’

After Jordan misses Bunny’s first day of school to party abroad, a top psychotherapist says she could do irreversible damage

She raised S eyebrows when she was pictured partying with new toyboy Alex Adderson in Spain last week, just days after her sudden split from Kris Boyson. But Jordan faced a barrage of online abuse when she appeared to miss her four-year-old daughter Bunny’s first day of school, seemingly leaving her with estranged husband Kieran Hayler, who uploaded a photo of their daughter in her school uniform alongside her brother Jett, five.

Trolls were quick to blast the mum of five – real name Katie Price – with one branding her “a horrible mother”, while another posted, “She clearly cares more about her toyboys than her children”.

To add to the drama, while former glamour model Jordan, 40, was snapped gyrating against Alex, 25, in a Majorcan beach club, Kieran, 31, was photographed taking Bunny and Jett to school. Reports even claimed he’d tried Facetiming Jordan three times, without success, so that she could be a part of the special moment.

Meanwhile, Jordan’s children with ex Peter Andre – Junior, 13, and Princess, 11 – have been staying with their dad this summer, and last week he posted a shot of them in their school uniform to Instagram. The whereabouts of her son Harvey, 16, was unclear, but sources tell Closer that Jordan’s terminally ill mum, Amy, has stepped in to look after him.

Last week, Jordan shared a screenshot from her phone where it appeared she’d called Princess when she’d returned from Majorca and shared an Instagram Story revealing she was taking Jett to school the following day.

UNAVAILABLE

However, psychotherapist Anna Williamson says Jordan could risk distancing herself from her kids emotionally if she remains largely unavailable and continues to prioritise partying over quality family time.

Anna says, “Katie has previously opened up about how important her kids are to her, but she needs to remember her role as a mother, no matter what is going on with her personally. A parent will always be held accountable by their children. They are less forgiving and won’t think, ‘My parent was absent due to this…’ – but instead will just remember the fact their parent was absent. Resentment can build up, so if Katie is constantly unavailable and unreliable, she risks losing her kids emotionally.”

Jordan has said having children was her biggest achievement, and in her 2010 autobiography You Only Live Once, she slammed Pete, 45, for missing Junior’s first day of school. She said, “My greatest concern was always that all my children should feel loved, protected and safe. Sadly that didn’t happen and Pete missed out on a real milestone in Junior’s life, which I think was a shame.”

WILD BEHAVIOUR

This isn’t the first drama Jordan’s been embroiled in over the past few months. Earlier this year, she split from third husband Kieran after his sex addiction resulted in multiple affairs. And since their break-up, Jordan’s been hitting the headlines for her raucous behaviour, including accusations of being “so drunk she couldn’t stand up” on wild nights out and reportedly turning to cocaine to mask her heartache. Last month, the star was also threatened with bankruptcy over her spiraling debts.

In the aftermath of her marriage breakdown, she quickly moved on with personal trainer Kris, 29 – who was often snapped with Jett and Bunny – before she was linked to businessman Alex last month.

And Jordan has admitted to feeling low in recent months, saying that she’s often left alone in the evenings. She said, “I’ve had the worst six months of my life… And the sad thing about it all is that it always ends up just being me and Harvey… It’s always me and Harvey, because obviously I split the kids and share. It’s boring, because he goes to bed at half six. So I sit

there and I’m like, ‘Oh…’”

And Anna believes that it’s unlikely to get better for Jordan if she continues this behaviour – and that her kids may even end up favouring their dads if she isn’t being available.

“Children naturally gravitate towards a family environment that is safe, stable and consistent,” says Anna. “If Junior, Princess, Jett and Bunny are spending their time with their dads, and those family households fulfill their needs more than Katie’s, they may prefer to favour that household.

“If one parent is unreliable or unavailable, the child is likely to favour the other parent and Katie risks this if she chooses partying over spending time with her children.”
