Will Katie Price spend Christmas without her children? Kieran Hayler hopes to spend festive period with Jett and Bunny

Kieran Hayler has told how he is optimistic he will get to have his children, who he shares with Katie Price, for the Christmas holidays.

The 31-year-old, who split from Price earlier this year, said he is yet to work out the arrangements regarding four-year-old daughter Bunny and five-year-old son Jett for the festive period.

“I'm with the kids now, so it [Christmas] will be with the kids,” he told Now! Magazine.

“It's any parent's dream to have the kids on Christmas morning – it would be good to have them on Christmas Eve too.

“I'll split it with Kate but we've got to work all that stuff out, it would be lovely to have them for Christmas, fingers crossed.”

The mother-of-five will also reportedly be without Junior and Princess, who she shares with former beau Pete Andre, this Christmas.

A source told the Sun: “Katie won’t have the kids at Christmas.

"They’ll be with Pete. Katie has a lot going on at the moment and so it’s best this way.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Price for comment.

Earlier this year, Price admitted that 13-year-old Junior and 10-year-old Princess were living with Andre.

A spokesperson for Price at the time said: “What is important [is] that the focus is on what is best for the children during tough times as Peter has acknowledged.”

Price has had a tempestuous few months following the breakdown of her marriage to Hayler and the start of her on-off relationship with reality star Kris Boyson.
