After more than a decade and a half of bitterness, accusations and public fallout, Katie Price and Peter Andre have finally drawn a line under one of Britain’s most infamous celebrity feuds.
In a surprise joint statement, the former couple confirmed they have agreed to end their long-running war of words and commit to a more peaceful future — marking their first direct communication in 16 years.
The move comes after years of public clashes following their explosive divorce, and months after Katie accused Peter of “using their daughter to become famous”.
A Joint Statement That No One Expected
Katie, 47, and Peter, 52, said they have reached a “mutual agreement, both legally and personally,” confirming that neither will speak negatively about the other going forward.
The pair stressed their focus is now firmly on their children, adding they want to “close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect.”
They continued:
“We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children. This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability.”
For fans who have followed their turbulent history, the announcement represents a dramatic shift — and one few believed would ever happen.
From Jungle Romance to Bitter Divorce
Katie and Peter married in 2005, just over a year after meeting as campmates on the third series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
They went on to welcome two children — Junior, now 20, and Princess, 18 — before announcing their abrupt separation in 2009.
What followed was years of legal battles, public accusations and bitter interviews that kept their split firmly in the spotlight.
Why Now?
The truce comes amid significant changes in both their lives. Katie recently confirmed a surprise fourth marriage to businessman Lee Andrews, tying the knot in January.
Peter, meanwhile, has previously spoken of the toll the years of silence took on him. In a 2025 Instagram statement, he admitted staying quiet had been “incredibly frustrating”, claiming he had endured repeated lies for the sake of his children.
He also revealed that Junior and Princess lived with him from 2018 “for their safety”, following a legally binding family court order issued in 2019 — something he said he had never made public out of respect for them.
A History That Still Hurts
Despite the truce, the past remains deeply complex.
Katie has previously insisted their split was not mutual, claiming Peter ended the marriage after convincing himself she was having an affair — something she has always denied.
Appearing on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, she said:
“Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it. It was all through lawyers. If we’d spoken, we probably would’ve sorted it.”
She has also claimed Peter struggled with her success outshining his at the height of their fame — comments that once reignited tensions between them.
Adding further fuel, Katie’s late mother Amy previously accused Peter of using her daughter to revive his career — claims Peter has always disputed.
Children at the Heart of the Truce
Crucially, both sides now appear united on one thing: protecting Junior and Princess.
The former couple have asked for understanding from the media and public, saying they hope this marks the beginning of a healthier relationship moving forward.
Whether this fragile peace will last remains to be seen — but after 16 years of silence, lawyers and headlines, even a ceasefire feels seismic.
For now, the war is over.
And Britain is watching to see what happens next.
