Katie Price's former husband Kieran Hayler has said that he is hopeful her new relationship will be "long-term" for the sake of their children.

The 42-year-old has been dating car salesman Carl Woods, 31, since June and recently declared that she would be with him for the rest of her life.

Hayler, 33, is Price's third and most recent husband and they share two children together, Jett and Bunny, who live with Price and her three other children.

Talking about new man Woods to New magazine, Hayler said: "It would be great for them to have a stable man on that side – or no man.

"One of the two. Either no man or a long-term man. I just want the kids to be happy and I want them to go there and for it to be nice.

"It can affect the kids with different people in and out of their lives. I'm hoping that Carl is here to stay."

Since her split from Hayler, Price had a serious relationship with personal trainer Kris Boyson as well as a brief fling with 22-year-old builder Charles Drury.
