Panicked Jordan’s “desperate measures” to stop Kris leaving her

Fearing a repeat of her ex Kieran’s cheating antics, Jordan goes to drastic lengths to prevent toyboy Kris from being unfaithful – as she plots big-money deals to avoid bankruptcy

- By Daisy Mclure

She’s put on S a defiant front following the collapse of her marriage to cheating third husband Kieran Hayler, by jumping into a new romance with toyboy Kris Boyson and insisting she’s in a better place.

But insiders say that behind closed doors, Jordan, 40 – real name Katie Price – is struggling to cope with her ex’s betrayals and is going to extreme lengths to ensure Kris, 29, doesn’t stray.

And as a flurry of reports claimed last week that she was facing bankruptcy amid her third divorce battle and a series of legal cases, sources say she is clinging onto Kris in the hope of staging big-money publicity deals for the couple.

A source reveals, “Katie’s still scarred by Kieran’s cheating and, despite her best attempts to hide her pain, she’s now taking it out on Kris and snapping at him, which sometimes leads to rows. They’ve only been together for a few weeks, but the honeymoon period is over. She can’t help panicking that he could start straying like Kieran did, so she’s resorting to desperate measures to make sure he doesn’t think about leaving her for someone else. She’s even asked him to move in so she can keep tabs on him.”

TRACKING DEVICE

Jordan revealed how she discovered Kieran, 31, had been unfaithful with former best pal Jane Pountney in 2014, after she saw illicit texts while checking his phone. She also found out he’d cheated with her friend Chrissy Thomas.

She then admitted that she uncovered his year-long affair with their nanny, Nikki Brown, last year, by going through his emails. She later alleged he’d been unfaithful with a 19-yearold Co-op worker – after accessing his phone using his thumbprint while he slept.

And insiders say the mum of five – who has Harvey, 16, from a past relationsh­ip with Dwight Yorke, Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, from her first marriage to Peter Andre, and Jett, four, and Bunny, three with Kieran – has told friends she’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure Kris stays faithful. The source adds, “Katie’s talking about going back to her old ways – checking Kris’ phone and emails. She might even consider getting a tracking device for his car.”

Insiders say she’s become so worried the personal trainer will cheat, she doesn’t want him training female clients unless she vets them first.

The source says, “Katie doesn’t want him going near any women she doesn’t know. She’s worried about him working with female clients and has asked if she can meet them first. Kris understand­s she’s been through a lot, but told her it was unnecessar­y and that they were never going to last the distance if she couldn’t trust him.”

Insiders told Closer recently that Jordan had been left hurt by ex-husband Peter’s concerns for her “out of control behaviour”. He reportedly branded her “appalling” for her raunchy displays of affection with Kris, and last month Jordan confirmed Junior and Princess were living with him.

And the mum of five was hit by further criticism of her parenting last week when trolls hit out at her following reports that she’d left son Harvey – who was born blind and suffers from autism and Prader-willi syndrome, meaning he needs round-theclock care – with her neighbour while she holidayed with Kris in Thailand earlier this month. She was pictured cavorting naked on a beach during the trip.

One troll insisted, “Katie only bothers with her kids when she is looking for publicity,” while another added, “She doesn’t care about anyone but herself.”

IN A DARK PLACE

Jordan admitted last year that she was on antidepres­sants and in therapy as she struggled to cope with her crumbling marriage and

her mum Amy’s terminal lung disease diagnosis.

Opening up about her new romance alongside Kris on Loose Women earlier this month, Jordan admitted he had pulled her out of a dark place. And friends fear she is using guilt to keep Kris near.

The source adds, “Katie is laying it on thick and has told him she’d be lost without him and that she wouldn’t recover if he left. She’s told him she’s facing criticism from her exes and trolls over her parenting and needs him by her side. It’s as if she’s convinced that, by being as dramatic as possible, he’ll feel too guilty to walk.”

It was reported last week that the entreprene­ur – who was once said to be worth £40 million – is being forced to sell her Sussex mansion to pay off her mounting debts, with insiders claiming she was already house hunting with Kris for a place together.

Insiders tell Closer that she has assured Kris she’ll earn it all back with big-money deals. And, as Closer reported recently, she has even considered making a sex tape.

The source adds, “Katie has promised Kris that she’ll make him rich and says she’s got some huge endorsemen­t and TV deals in the pipeline. She feels like she’s more relevant when she’s part of a couple and that there’s more opportunit­y for success when she’s got a man to show off and tease the idea of marriage and babies with.

“Friends think she’s stretching the truth a bit, but she’s clinging onto anything she can to ensure he doesn’t leave her.”
