Katie Price: I hope Peter Andre is happy with his 'new girl'
Last updated at 13:06pm on 03.09.09Katie Price said today that she would be able to handle seeing her estranged husband Peter Andre with a new partner.
Speaking on ITV1's This Morning, Price said she believed Andre, 36, was already seeing someone else.
Getting over Peter Andre: Katie Price has moved on
She said: "He is seeing another girl, it hasn't come out yet but it's slowly coming out because I've read it. And I just hope he's happy."
She said she would be "absolutely" OK if she saw Andre with someone else.
"As long as they're good to the children, that's all I can ask, because it's going to happen one day, I've got no hard feelings, I just hope everyone gets on.
"I'm happy and I'm all right with it."
Speaking on Saturday at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, Andre said he did not think he would go out with someone else in showbusiness.
He said he was sure he would meet somebody "at some point".
Speaking about revelations in her OK! magazine column this week that she has been raped more than once when she was younger, Price told This Morning: "I don't ask for sympathy, everyone has dramas in their life."
Asked if the incidents had affected her attitude towards men, the 31-year-old said: "No, because that was all in the past and it's like, no ... everyone's lives are mapped out to what they're meant to be.
"I'm really happy. What I am right now, you learn from your past, you've got to go up and down ... things have got to happen to make you the person you are today."
Agreeing she did not come across as sad about her marriage break-up, she said: "I got hurt in the past, I can't help that I'm so strong and I have to switch off.
"People have got to realise that Pete has not wanted to meet up with me.
"He doesn't want to talk to me on the phone. What am I supposed to do? It's been four months ...
"You have to move on and anyone out there who has a break-up, if a guy's not interested, don't sit around and mope, get on with your life."
Asked what she would do if Andre phoned her and suggested getting back together, Price replied: "It will never happen because people don't know what's going on behind the scenes, trust me.
"I think Pete's got more hatred for me than anything, especially because of what's gone on because I've met Alex (Reid, Price's current boyfriend).
Asked why she thought Andre hated her, Price said: "If I'm honest I think it backfired on him ... he probably thought we would have got back together but the media got involved and it got worse and worse. I don't know.
"I'm quite happy to meet him, even though he dumped me. So he must have feelings or something, because he can't meet me, he can't face me."
Asked if she loved Reid, she said: "That's quite a strong word ... But I'm very much involved with him, he's brilliant with the kids, he's not this person they make out in the papers ...
"I suppose anyone I go with they're going to batter them or try and find bad in them and I love it that he's had a past and I know everything about him.
"And there's more surprises to come out about him, which no one knows ...
"They've painted this picture that he's some brute, he's into this, he's into that.
"Big deal, I like him, he's very good with the kids."
She described her relationship with Reid as "definitely not just a quick little thing ...
It's either all or nothing with anyone I meet."
Price also dismissed reports that she had recently encountered an angry mob.
She said: "They weren't chanting (for) Pete, they were chanting (for) me."
The glamour model said of her estranged husband: "I hope he does well, there's room for everyone. I think people are just so into this Team Pete, Team Price, or whatever the devil I am, whatever they want to say."
Asked if she felt she was being painted as the devil, Price replied: "Well of course, you know.
"But at the end of the day I'm living my life the way it is and I'm not going to change just because people are saying: 'Oh, you should calm down, you should do this'.
"So what? I do what I want to do. I've always done what I want to do."
She described Andre as "a loveable guy, he really is, that's why I was with him so long".
She said: "This isn't a game, this is my life. I'm a human being and so is Pete.
"And I so don't want to go down that road, who's liked more and who's not ... there's room for us all."

Katie Price/Jordan......... Whats the difference? one. she is foul mouthed, has no feminine characteristics at all and I really don't know what Peter saw in her anyway. (Oh yes except one thing maybe) I hope Peter finds someone who will appreciate him for the warm, kind, caring man he seems to be and the record/magazine deals all come his way because I wouldn't pay for a magazine to read anything that remotely mentions Katie Price (who hates needles so much, she has to have botox etc etc etc every three months!). I would like to know when we can see more of Pete's TV show?
- Gail Cracknell, Tiverton Devon
Those kids are just a photo opportunity for her to portray the good single mummy act!! She has the nanny's for all the hard work.
Best decision Peter's ever made leaving that trash behind. Hope he gets the kids.

I could care less about her.....why she is famous again???

@ Karly - really there are better women to have as role models, even if the criteria is Heat fame, pneumatic breasts and pots of cash. Jeez, even Jade Goody had more integrity and commanded more respect. She had the class to apologise for her poppadom gaffe. Although she did have worse taste in men if you look at her pissed up little Jack.
- David, London
For an attractive woman she really does have a foul mouth, evil ways of going about things and loads of personal problems!! Saying Peter has another girlfriend is a shot in the dark in order to justify her disgusting behaviour. She needs therapy urgently. Her attitude(s) are scum rock bottom.

Am very worried for both Pete and Katie, they use to make wanna get married and be on the spot light as they are but right now am beginning to hate Katie for hurting Pete so badly and thinks is ok. Pete is being trying to make everything seem ok but Katie?????? what is it with that Alex guy? can't she wait a bit ? Am disappoint in Katie. Pete i think will be better off without Katie

If she does not care about Pete, why does she talk about it???!!.. And why talk about Pete's new lady when he is not! back off Jordan!
- Claire, Rutland
If it's not Jabba-Jaw Broon, Tony "My parents need a few quid" McNulty, Boris the Bumbling Mayor, Tessa "£2billion was a guestimate" Jowell, Regents Park Mandy, Address Flipping Darling or Ed "Please someone kick him in the" Balls.... then it's this Pink Princess...
Dr Conrad Murray, please take me away...

Jordan/Katie Price whatever - used to like her, now I don't - she dont care so I dont care either - its about respecting herself and her family something she don't seem to get. Not much of a role model!!
- Caroline, S. London
Does anyone really care what the Queen of British white trash thinks?
- Neil, London
Jordan. Jordan. JORDAN!!!!
- Stephen W, Camberwell
She is just so sad trying desperately to plug her ITV 2 show at every inopportune moment this morning on TV. She knows the viewing public are disinclined to watch her trash
- Keith Price, Luton England
Jordan is so good at manipulating the media that she should get a medal.Today she is the all forgiving, lets get together,woman.
Her cageman boyfriend is pushing his luck by stating that he loves her which he probably thought would put her on the spot to respond positively.What a stupid statement to make with the turmoil that is going on with her life at the moment,only thinking of himself.He is handy to have around at the moment.
I wonder who she will be tomorrow?

Please go away. We do not want to know.
- Jon, London
Yeah right, now she says it, now she is so far down the ladder of popularity, its no longer a contest. If she g anymore vile, she will resemble a cartoon character because she is becoming more and more distorted by the day.
