This week, glamor model Katie Price has stunned her fans with an announcement on Twitter that she would be divorcing her husband Kieran Hayler after she caught him involved in a seven-month-long affair with her best friend Jane Pountney.

As the mystery case of the unfaithful husband unraveled, it was widely believed that Katie was exaggerating, and those involved dismissed the story as “a storm in a tea cup” and “more like a drunken kiss.”

Hoever, Katie stuck to her guns, and today we have confirmation via The Mirror from the parties involved that her suspicions were correct and Kieran and Jane were indeed having an affair behind her back.

Jane Pountney, 49, has released a joint statement with her husband of 11 years, Derrick, in which they confirm the cheating scandal with “deep regret.” The mother-of-two has been best friends for a long time with Katie and has known her since her teens, sticking by her side through the years.

Her statement is about her regret in this matter: “This is something that Jane deeply regrets and we will not provide any more details about it,” her husband Derrick says in the statement and adds “It is true that Kate found out about this affair yesterday.”

A furious Katie Price immediately took measures after she found out Kieran was cheating on her and soon after she tweeted “Sorry to say me and kieran are divorcing him and my best friend jane pountney bee[n] having a full blown [intimate] affair for 7 months (sic),” it was reported that she threw him out of the house.

Kieran, a part-time exotic dancer, was forced to sleep in a log cabin built by Katie on her property for her son, Harvey, when he will be older. After the scandal broke out, he called upon Derrick, Jane's husband, to talk to Katie and try to calm her down.

At the time, Derrick talked with the press and maintained that both couples were still together and that the talks of an affair were “exaggerated.” Today, he confessed that “Current reports regarding this being a storm in a teacup and the affair being a drunken kiss do not accurately reflect the situation. Those remarks should not be used to undermine Kate's account which we accept is accurate.”

The statement is concluded by their intention to not refer to this matter in the future: “We are going to spend some time together deciding what our future holds and would appreciate now being left alone to do that.”

As for Katie, she did mention that she would not be sharing anything from her thirty-million-pound fortune with her husband in the event of a divorce. This information she shared in an interview prior to the affair, when their love story was still going on.
