A spokesperson for Kieran Hayler has announced his split with fiancée, Michelle Penticost, but some fans aren't convinced by the timing. The pair, who share their son Apollo Phoenix, three, have mutually decided to part ways, according to the representative, who says they remain on good terms for the sake of their young son. Fans are lead to believe that the break-up between Kieran, 37, and Michelle, 42, is fresh, however after doing some digging on Instagram, they're not so sure. The former stripper, who shares son, Jett, and daughter, Bunny, with his ex, Katie Price, hasn't posted a photo with Michelle on the platform since August 2024.
He also made a cryptic comment in December about how "children will always be your best friends", sharing a photo of little Apollo with the caption: "When your best friend is your three-year old. Your children will always be your best friends. Unbreakable bond forever.". Moreover, when one of Kieran's fans wished him and Michelle a happy Valentine's Day last week, he simply responded: "Just looking in the distance to my new business venture. Let's go!".
Kieran and Michelle started dating back in 2018 after striking up a romance at the school gates. Kieran's children with Katie, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, attended the same school as Michelle's son, Valentino. Just two years after their first meeting, Kieran got down on one knee during a romantic break to the Maldives. But a spokesperson for the former stripper has now confirmed the relationship is finally over.
"The couple separated on good terms and remain close with their focus first on their son Apollo," a spokesperson for Kieran told The Sun. Despite their split, Kieran once said Michelle was the "perfect match" for him. The Pricey's ex was a step-father to Michelle's oldest son, while she was a step mum to his two children from his relationship with Katie. Back in 2023, they even sparked more pregnancy rumours as they put on a loved-up display in a snap in which Michelle was seen wearing a figure-hugging white dress, while Kieran, rested his hand on her stomach. Many fans took this as a suggestion that Michelle was expecting, but it later transpired that this was just social media speculation.
Despite the loved-up snaps, their time together wasn't without its drama, and Michelle had a volatile relationship with Katie. The former glamour girl dodged jail in 2022 for breaking a restraining order when she called Michelle a “gutter s**g” in a text. The five-year restraining order against Michelle was issued in 2019 for calling her rival a "f*****g c**t" and "fat" at the school gates in front of kids, parents and a teacher.
