Kieran Hayler and Michelle Penticost have officially called it quits after seven years together.
The former couple, who got engaged in 2020, have reportedly parted ways on good terms and remain focused on co-parenting their son, Apollo Phoenix.
According to The Sun, Kieran, 37, and Michelle, 42, have maintained a friendly relationship despite their breakup.
A representative for Kieran confirmed the split, stating, “The couple separated on good terms and remain close, with their focus first on their son Apollo.”
A Long-Term Relationship Comes to an End
Kieran and Michelle first met in 2018 and quickly formed a strong bond.
Their relationship took a serious turn when Kieran proposed during a romantic trip to the Maldives in 2020. The couple later welcomed their son, Apollo, in August 2021.
Beyond their own child, Kieran played a significant role in Michelle’s son Valentino’s life, acting as a stepfather to the now 14-year-old. Similarly, Michelle was involved in the lives of Kieran’s children from his previous marriage to Katie Price—Bunny, 10, and Jett, 11.
While the couple’s split marks the end of their romantic journey, they remain committed to ensuring Apollo’s well-being as they navigate co-parenting.
Michelle’s Legal History with Katie Price
Michelle’s connection to Kieran also brought her into conflict with his ex-wife, Katie Price. The two women had a well-documented feud that resulted in Michelle obtaining a restraining order against Katie in 2019. The order stemmed from a heated altercation at a school playground, during which Katie reportedly directed abusive language at Michelle.
Despite the legal order, tensions flared again in 2022 when Katie breached the restraining order by sending an explicit text message to Kieran about Michelle. The message, which referred to Michelle in derogatory terms, led to a court hearing.
During the trial, Michelle expressed the emotional toll the incident had on her, stating, “The impact of what Katie has done is very upsetting. I feel threatened and intimidated. The language used made me feel scared.”
Although Katie admitted to the breach, she avoided jail time and was instead sentenced to 170 hours of community service and ordered to pay £1,500 in legal costs.
Kieran’s Complicated Romantic Past
Kieran’s personal life has been marred by past controversies, particularly during his marriage to Katie Price. The couple, who wed in 2013, faced multiple infidelity scandals that eventually led to their divorce.
Over the years, Katie accused Kieran of cheating on her with multiple women, including her close friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas. In 2017, she further alleged that Kieran had an affair with their nanny, Nikki Brown. These revelations contributed to the breakdown of their marriage, and the pair officially ended their relationship in 2020.
Despite their rocky history, Katie acknowledged their amicable divorce in a 2020 Instagram post. She praised Kieran for not seeking anything financially from their split and wished him well with Michelle, adding, “Now I’m free and will never give up on my fairytale ending of one day getting married and having the family unit I desire.”
Moving Forward
While Kieran and Michelle’s split marks the end of their engagement, their ability to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship suggests that their priority remains their family. Neither has publicly commented on the reasons for the breakup, but sources suggest that the decision was mutual and without hostility.
As both Kieran and Michelle adjust to life post-breakup, they continue to focus on providing a stable and supportive environment for their son, Apollo. Whether they eventually find their way back to romance or move forward separately, their commitment to co-parenting remains steadfast.
