Hold onto your seats, folks - the saga of Alex Reid and Katie Price is heating up again! The former cage fighter, now 50, has promised to 'reveal the truth' about his ex, glamour icon Katie Price, 47, after their short-lived marriage that started in 2010. The duo tied the knot after just seven months of dating, only to call it quits less than a year later in a split that’s still making waves.
Fresh off her divorce from Peter Andre, Katie met Alex at a birthday bash for Michelle Heaton at Cafe De Paris in London. Within weeks, sparks flew, and six months later, they jetted off to Las Vegas for a quickie wedding - planned by Katie and her crew while Alex was busy in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Talk about a Sin City surprise!
But the fairytale didn’t last. Katie later admitted they 'married too soon,' and now, years after their split, Alex is stirring the pot with leaked footage of the OnlyFans star seemingly counting cash during bankruptcy, paired with threats to spill more tea.
The drama dialed up recently when Alex leaked a video of Katie appearing to handle stacks of cash amidst her bankruptcy woes. He’s doubled down, accusing her of unpaid debts from past legal rulings and promising more revelations. Katie’s reps, however, insist the money in the clip wasn’t hers, leaving fans buzzing about what’s next in this explosive chain of events.
'This isn’t just about me anymore - it’s about standing up for my family after years of abuse,' Alex told sources close to the situation.
Back in 2020, Alex sued Katie for allegedly sharing private, explicit content of him on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side in 2018, claiming it violated his privacy. A court ordered her to pay £250,000 five years ago, but Alex says he’s still waiting on the funds as of last year. In January 2024, he vented to the Mirror about verbal threats from Katie, calling the court ruling a 'landmark' decision against public humiliation by a celebrity.
Their last-minute Vegas wedding didn’t just shock fans - it caused a rift with Alex’s family. Katie surprised him at the airport with the spontaneous plan, leaving no time to invite his parents. 'My whole family was gutted,' Alex confessed to the Mirror, admitting he barely managed a quick call to his mom before jetting off.
He’s since described the marriage as a whirlwind that left him feeling like a 'lamb to the slaughter.' Speaking on GB News with Nigel Farage, Alex reflected on being swept into Katie’s high-profile world, saying he didn’t know 'what planet I was on' during their chaotic union.
The fallout wasn’t just personal. Alex has accused Katie of being 'addicted to the press,' claiming to The Sun that she’ll do anything for headlines, regardless of the consequences. 'I’m down as her shortest marriage, and I’m glad I got out,' he said, though he hasn’t escaped what he calls years of bitterness and abuse.
Katie didn’t hold back in her autobiography, slamming Alex’s alleged 'weird and kinky' fetishes with jaw-dropping detail. She wrote that what she witnessed was beyond disturbing, multiplied by ten. It’s a claim that’s added fuel to their already fiery feud.
In response, Alex accused Katie of outing his alter-ego, Roxanne, as a transvestite for her own financial gain back in 2009. He debuted Roxanne publicly at Katie’s book launch for 'Standing Out,' but later claimed to The Sun that Katie forced the reveal and shaped a version of Roxanne for her own benefit. 'She’s the one who keeps talking about her,' he fumed.
Alex hasn’t minced words about their time together, dubbing his marriage to Katie his 'prostitute years' in a 2017 interview with The Sun. 'It’s a crappy life having to sell your soul,' he said, thrilled to step away from the celebrity spotlight that he feels Katie thrives in. For him, it’s about reclaiming self-worth over fame.
Katie, meanwhile, has reflected on their rushed nuptials, admitting post-split that jumping into marriage so quickly was a mistake. It’s one of many regrets in a relationship Alex once likened to an 'LSD trip' - not literal, but a metaphor for the surreal, disorienting chaos of their time together, especially under constant media scrutiny during his Celebrity Big Brother stint.
