Katie Price and Alex Reid tie the knot
By Eleanor Young on Wednesday 3 February 2010
Katie Price and her cage fighter boyfriend Alex Reid married in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas yesterday.
Less than a year after her split from Peter Andre, and just two months after she dumped Alex on live television, Miss Price and her beau decided to tie the knot.

Rumours had been circulating that the former Mrs Andre would soon have a ring on her finger, after numerous hints Alex made to the press.
But the pair jetted off for a Las Vegas break following Alex's winning stint in the Big Brother house, and decided to exchange vows there and then.
And the couple issued a joint statement after the ceremony, confirming they had married.
‘We look forward to the future together. We can't wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who fully support our wishes,' they announced.
Just hours before the wedding in a chapel at the Wynn hotel, the couple were spotted shopping for wedding rings in a Las Vegas jewelers.
And it seems the only delay was finding the bride something to wear!
'They wanted to have the ceremony as soon as they got to Vegas, but the bridal stores weren't open so she couldn't get a dress,' an insider said.
'She had her fashion team trawling all over town for a gown. In the end she just had to make do.'

After the ceremony the newly-weds headed back to the famous Planet Hollywood hotel where they are reportedly staying in a $10,000 a night penthouse honeymoon suit.
But in a step away from tradition, there was no media present at the nuptials, just a single film crew in attendance from Katie's reality show.
‘Their decision to marry has not been made with any media deal in place. It is purely down to their love for each other,' said a rep for the pair.

I'm happy for them, a lot of negative people will have something nasty to say but at the end of the day they love each other and thats something to be celebrated. if not by the public then by them and there family's! i wish them the best of luck :)
Comment by Amy on February 03 10:01
I'm appalled. I used to be a "fan" , then became indifferent but now, all I feel is complete disgust! Most of all, I feel sorry for those poor kids, literally dragged through the dirt. It appears to be a case of "I'm happy so f-you Jack!" Poor Harvey will be the worst off. At least the other 2 have their father on the scene!
Comment by Bex on February 03 10:03
TOTALLY EXPECTED - WHAT AN ATTENSION SEEKING PAIR WE HAVE HERE THEN!!! LOL. GONE OFF THEM COMPLETELY, THEY ARE VERY SILLY AND ALMOST EVERYONE KNOWS THEY BOTH HAVE HIDDEN AJENDAS!!
Comment by karen on February 03 10:11
Hmmm.. I wonder if this might have been a very different story had Alex been booed out of the CBB house in last place?
Comment by Michelle on February 03 10:13
Disgraceful, insulting.All she cares is money..I bet we'll have a new show "katie and alex,chapter 1 of many" very soon
Comment by Cristina on February 03 12:35
"there was no media present at the nuptials, just a single film crew in attendance from Katie's reality show"
Glad to see that they kept it soooooo private.
Comment by Lynn on February 03 12:36
Couldn't give a monkey's!!!
Comment by Bassplonker on February 03 12:39
Who cares! They'll do anything for a bit of publicity!And I agree I bet it would be a different story if he had come last,I expect she voted millions of times for him to win after all she can afford too!
Comment by suzanne on February 03 12:43
I think KP knows full well that she is dispised, loathed and hated my the majority of the British public. Calculatingly she has used the fact that Alex Reid is currently liked and loved by the people who detest her, so once again has manipulated the situation to her own ends. I can see Alex being treated in exactly the same way as Peter Andre, when he over shadows her in the popularity stakes and starts to become famous in his own right. Hang on to you're hat Alex, is going to be a bumpy ride!!!!
Comment by Gill on February 03 12:46
It's funny how she dumped him on Live TV and now he's won the public around she suddenly realises her love and marries the guy. Nice!
Comment by Nic on February 03 12:47
how long will this one last, just so long as he does things her way i suppose. poor kids wont know if they are coming or going. I am totally bored with her and her attention seeking. like someone else said if he had been booed out of BB things would be different
Comment by barbara on February 03 12:49
Congratulations to Katie and Alex. It was no secret they were to wed, they just wed earlier and quietly. Whatever decision they made would have been wrong to most people. Both are adults and able to make a decision. Leave them alone to enjoy their life together.
Comment by poshpot on February 03 12:50
Let's hope this wedding last longer than her last one - but I doubt it somehow!! It's the kids I feel sorry for - can you imagine how you would feel if your Mum just ran off and got married in secret?
Comment by Trazza on February 03 12:50
Congratulations and good for them.
Life is too short, and with so much unhappiness in the world these days, if its made them happy then good for them. We all wish them well here, and are delighted for them.
And besides Alex seems a more down to Earth guy to us, a lot more genuine than stroppy Peter!
Comment by Dee on February 03 12:51
Michelle....your's is a moot point. The fact is, Alex won. And maybe his time in CBB just re-inforced for Ms Price what SHE already new & what the rest of us discovered....that Alex Reid may be a bit of a 'dillon' sometimes, but actually, he's a really decent guy who obviously loves his partner to bits. No hidden agenda to him (unlike the truly dreadful bully-boy, Vinnie) & actually just a normal guy, with faults like the rest of us, who just wants to be liked for the person he really is.
Good luck to them, I say. If anything, the children may now have more stability than in recent months, as mum will hopefully settle down.
Comment by Tina on February 03 12:54
I used to like Katie Price but her whole life has turned into a complete joke. I don't believe for a second she really loves Alex, it's all done for media attention just like everything else. I feel sorry for the children where are they when she is jetting off to get married? They are never going to get the stability they need while she seems to be going through this early mid life crisis!
Comment by Sharon on February 03 12:55
Not surprised, quite frankly. I see this as a case of cashing in on the 'fame' that Alex has now that he's won CBB. I find myself agreeing with Michelle - different outcome had he not won?
And leaving the kids with the nannies was a little desperate, methinks.
Comment by Karina on February 03 12:56
Definitely. If he hadn't won then she would not have married him. She DUMPED HIM LIVE ON TV!!! She clearly can't feel that much for him!
Comment by Michelle on February 03 12:57
So silly...Im quite sure she would not have married him if he had not won Big Brother. She dumped him live on TV a couple of months ago...not something a woman in love would do. He quite obviously is smitten with her, but she just has a hidden agenda. She wants to up her popularity and she thinks she can do that now that Alex won. Awful!
Comment by fi on February 03 12:58
Does anyone wonder why Katie had kids in the 1st place? Since pete she still wants the life of a single woman with no ties.....you never see the kids out with her hardley, and then she gets married, to which you would think if she was so in love she would want her kids to share the special moment, and low and behold there not there! I hope a child isnt en route!
Comment by Lauren on February 03 13:01
She is seeking to boost her popularity on the back of Alex winning CBB. And it all smacks of being on the rebound from Pete. KP is making a mockery of marriage. I give it 6 months
Comment by Pat on February 03 13:04
Isn't it getting a bit boring now?!!!!!! Think every one has worked out she just likes to see herself in the press in any way shape or form....I used to think she was good now I think her head is so far up her own .That she doesnt care about her fans....what goes up must come down ......
Comment by Ann on February 03 13:09
Oh how ridiculous ... I mean come on!!!
I accept that they might be a nice couple and that they are falling for eachother etc but to just rush off and get married is not only a stupid decision publicity wise but also it's thoughtless where the children are concerned! - when they split up (which they will)the children will have to endure losing yet another father figure because their mother can't stand to be alone for a few months.
I'll give her some credit though ... she does know how to weedle every penny out of her non-relationship with Alex Reid ... poor guy actually seemed all right!!!
Comment by Holly on February 03 13:11
Funny how they swan off and get hitched just after he won BB, wonder what would have happened if Dane won??? lol
Comment by nicoletta on February 03 13:17
Its a joke! SHe's so transparent and Alex is being sucked in! It won't last, she just wants the money and her popularity back. Very sad!
Comment by Wendy Humphrey on February 03 13:21
The poor woman is so taken by her own publicity it's frightening. She is fundamentally unbalanced and unstable and growing ever more so, and the more the media fawn all over her, the more unstable she will become - she is a sad travesty created by the modern media and the crushing need for celebrity - tragic. By the time she is in her dotage doubtless she will have had many more C list hubbies, who will, as someone else so rightly said, only last for as long as they do things HER way. Heaven help the kids and any more (bets on a pregnancy before summer's here?) they deserve better but will not get it from her. It is NOT normal for a mother to behave in the way she does - no harm in a night out but in the parlance of my young colleagues - PURLEEEES!!!
Comment by Sal on February 03 13:24
I agree with Michelle above, I wondered too if ALex had not won CBB if she would have wanted to marry him. He's hoping that he will raise her profile to positive. She's a media hog and can't stand it if someone is getting more press than her. She's a nasty piece of work. Alex is fame hungry, but that's not a bad thing. We wouldn't have actors and musicians if people weren't hungry for fame. I just hope he does it well and stays respectful. My opinions of Alex did change in the house, he seems fun and a truly nice guy.
Comment by Tracy on February 03 13:25
I think that they are well suited because they both have egos bigger than their IQ. It just makes me feel sorry for the kids
Comment by Lucie on February 03 13:27
I think good luck to them. She's just a girl in love and alex is a lovely man. I'm glad he won BB - he deserved it for all the jibes he took in such good humour.
Comment by Janine on February 03 13:30
I agree with Michelle, I think once again Miss Price has been very clever. Her ratings were low with the public so why not hitch yourself to someone who is popular (at the moment!)in the hope that some of it will rub off on her. I think he seems a decent bloke as were her previous two. So we will see how long it will be before she finds him too nice and walks all over him.
Comment by Linda on February 03 13:31
She dumped him when she left the jungle and wanted Peter back,now Peter won't have her back and Alex won Big brother she's suddenly "madly in love" it would have been different if Alex had been booed when he left,she's just an attention seeker and I feel sorry for the kids,it won't last!!
Comment by Glenda on February 03 13:42
I am really pleased for them both and think that the course of true love does not run smoothly especially when your "Katie Price". It is better to experience love than not at all and if they both feel it is the right thing to do, I say yeah go for it and long may it last ;-)
Comment by Inez on February 03 13:43
Can we stop giving this person the oxygen of publicity, she has not had an original thought or deed during her so-called "career". She is neither a feminist icon nor a role model, she produces vapid, pointless rubbish. I neither know nor care what happens next!!!
Comment by Amanda on February 03 13:44
Fully expected it after i found out he had won BB.
Is there any of her life which is not on one of her reality tv shows, couldn't she have run off and done it without a member of the film crew.
Takes away all the spontanaity and excitement of getting married in vegas!!
All planned for money and press on both sides!!
Comment by Hayley Trindade on February 03 13:44
katie and peter THE END ... the next story.. katie and alex THE WEDDING... THE NEW BABY... THE SPLIT.... it is all a little predictable.
Comment by angie on February 03 13:50
Hope its genuine but really...think ..this Ones for Peter!!!
Der de de derr derrrrr....
Really hope its differnt tho..she never learns..otherwise.
Comment by anon on February 03 14:05
prepared to take a bet on it that they are divorced within 5 years, she is probably pregnant or will have another child with him and then there will be more children from broken homes.
She only does things for ££££££
Comment by annette on February 03 14:07
Another ploy to try and get her rapidly failing career back on track, what next a t.v series Alex & Katie, don't buy that they love each other, one thing is for sure it will be a case of who can attract the most attention, they both think they are something they are not, ie: celebrities.
Comment by Joan Cary on February 03 14:09
would we be seeing these headlines if he hadnt of won???...me thinks not!!! Money grabbing selfish ???....who marries without their kids with them.......some shrink is going to have a lifetime job looking after those kids mentlly!!
Comment by sharon hume on February 03 14:15
I bet she would not have married him if he had not won CBB. She is so so shallow and everything she does has an agenda!!!!!!!! Its all related to publicity and making money. I only hope her kids dont inherit their mother´s falseness. o amount of money will make her into a lady of good manners. She is and will always been common as muck......
Comment by susan berry on February 03 14:25
Cheer up KP.
Comment by Eve on February 03 14:30
All I can say is I feel sorry for her children. I hope Alex takes her for half of her worth in a couple of years and Pete gets the kids, will serve her right!
Comment by H on February 03 14:40
He must be desperate for money!
Comment by sue on February 03 14:42
Pathetic! Insecure bimbo who cares about nobody but ME ME ME. If she were a REAL mother she'd put her children before herself.
Comment by Vikki on February 03 14:49
I hope they will both be happy. Peter Andre is ruled by his management and will always have a chip on his shoulder, he looks for approval constantly (especially saying to the kids 'say you love me' ALL the time) to boost ego. Alex is a lovely man and Katie is complex but good hearted.
Comment by Bren on February 03 14:58
I think they are well suited to each other. Vain, money orientate and attention seeking. It is all so contrived, even for them.
Comment by Jo on February 03 15:24
Call me cynical, but could it be that Peter Andre's story was coming out last Sunday in the News of the World and she wanted to get Alex away from the revelations that her riding instructor had been 'snowed in' saying at her home while Alex was in the BB house??
Comment by Dyan on February 03 15:39
I think she is just using poor naive Alex.. Hes a dopey thing. Does he not get when he's being made a fool of?! It won't last. Im all for a good love story and happy ending. Does anyone recall while he was in the house she apparently dumped him again, for being embarrassing.. and what now he suddenly amazing?.. PAH-LEASE!! lol..
But they are going to make some serious money.. whats its all about for most in showbiz land!!! They're clever!! won't knock them for that!!
Just wondering if anyone has thought of the kids?.. Sad!!! :(
Comment by Sirina on February 03 15:40
I can't understand why Social Services have not been involved in this family. Some observations should be done and assessment of the emotional repercussions are going to have on these poor kids in the future. One selfish woman.
Comment by Abby on February 03 16:23
No surprise...she can't be alone for 2 seconds...now the children will only suffer because of her! She is doing this all for publicity and soon people will see her for who she truly is! A LOSER!!!!
Comment by Chris on February 03 16:27
How about we all don't get involved and have opinions about them, as all this interest is what feeds their media domination. Without our feedback they would have nothing. So lets not be interested anymore!
Comment by fi on February 03 17:04
ahh poor girl could find a dress, she could have borrowed one from Alex or done her usual and worn almost sweet F.A.....so she dumps him less than two months ago and now they are married. She is an attention seeker and I think personally she has done it because people liked Alex from his stint in CBB that they will like her also, I doubt this will be the case. She is awful, she looks like a man in drag. It would be really good if she went into hiding for a few months (years!! meow) and let the storm calm as well as getting her priorities right.
Comment by Debbie on February 03 17:12
Right then Alex, keep your mouth shut, do as your told, don`t ask any questions, DONT BECOME MORE POPULAR THAN K.P. (Although at the moment you are, but she`s milking that for all its worth). You might last longer than 5 minutes, but watch the serpent, it`ll be a slippery ride! Best of luck to you mate, you seem like a genuine guy, shame you had to get cught up with the "BLACK WIDOW".
Comment by CLAY on February 03 17:12
Well, who couldn't see this happening???
Quite truely, he is what she deserves!
She is nowhere close to where Peter stands as a partner or father or a soulmate. Good for you Kate.
Comment by gabs on February 03 17:34
It is just impossible for me to think that isn't all money orientated, but it would be nice if there were some genuine feelings going around and not just 'thoughts of dollar signs'. mind you it's so easy for Katie and any man she is with to cash in, why shouldn't they ?
Comment by Caroline Thom on February 03 17:39
She really is a revolting piece of work. Two minutes after a divorce she can remarry without any consideration of the impact on her children or ex husband. I wonder if she has any real joy in her life except counting her money, because I doubt any of her relationships have truly been for love.
Comment by Anne on February 03 18:15
Katie Price makes a mockery of marriage. What a sad world where children are starving and this talentless woman can spend £10000 a night for a hotel room!
Comment by Angela on February 03 18:46
I think Alex and Katie are really suited to each other. Their just down to earth people who happen to be in the public eye. Good Luck to them both and I hope they are really happy together. It must be hard for Katie at times with all the media attention and hateful comments people make about her. Give the girl a break, she is a good mother and deserves happiness just like everyone else.
Comment by Elaine on February 03 19:23
I would imagine the only reason there wasn't more media present is because her contract with the reality show would forbid the infringement. Also, does the American public care about who she is, or even know her at all for that matter?
Comment by Laura on February 03 22:03
KATIE PRICE - just found her next paycheck. I give it 14 months tops. Katie you are 1 conniving individual. Step down and think of your kids.
Comment by amadarling on February 03 22:28
Do you really think he would have been in big brother if he wasn't with her? No one would have heard of him but as soon as a nobody gets with someone famous and rich they suddenly become "famous" and rich in their own right. Thought she had more brain. Hope he takes her for millions the silly girl. O and I give it a year.
Comment by Shazzan on February 03 23:23
I am very happy for them - If nothing else they are savvie enough to know that they should earn the money while they can - Peter needs to stop with the TV and Crying thing and get back to OZ - Katie Rules!!
Comment by Michelle on February 04 10:25
why am I not surprised the woman has lost the plot her life is a constand round of deperatly trying to be aa "Celebrity2 and in the public eye. Soes she not realise that the public or the real celebrities are laughing at her sympathising with her ex husband and worrying about her children what kind of life do the have with her as their mother thank god their father has his feet firmly on the ground.
I give this marriage 3 months if that what a farce
Comment by catgirl on February 04 10:26
OMG what a disgrace Katie Price is, its all about the money for her lets see how long it is until she has another baby and another big payday then it will be bye bye Alex
Comment by Trish on February 04 10:52
she is nothing but a man eating and think nothing but money money money, she thinks she is so god damn looking but all she looks like is a tranny best suited with alex me thinks, they will be fighting over each others clothes and those poor kids, sooner a social worker is involved the better and Dwight about time you did your bit as a father ur all low lifes, peter is the only decent one
Comment by vanessa on February 04 10:54
Oh dear what has Alex done. I grew to like the guy when he was in the Big Brother house and both my husband and I thought that the best thing he could do was dump Jordan when he left the house. It does appear that he loves her but, does she love him? I agree with Michelle - would this marriage have happened if Alex had been evicted earlier and booed big time on his way out? Jordan is trying to use his popularity to raise her profile which, quite frankly, I don't think is possible. Watch out Alex I think you are going to get your finders burned.
Comment by Deborah on February 04 12:49
I think it is a joke. She calls herself a mother, what mother would want their children around a man who dresses like a woman. What do they do share make up tips? She had a real man Peter why does she and the male cross dresser go to a desert island together she will not be missed!
