Katie Price has revealed that her ill-fated marriage to Kieran Hayler has finally come to an official end, as they signed divorce papers three years after their split.
The 42-year-old glamour model has revealed to The Sun that she and Kieran, 33, became officially divorced just days ago, paving the way for her to make Carl Woods, 31, husband number four.
She told the publication: 'Finally, we've signed the divorce papers. I'm so happy that I'm free from that marriage. The only good thing that came out of it was my children.

'I can now continue my life with all the badness behind me. All I can do is wish him luck. I can't wait to continue my life with Carl.'
Katie and her ex-husband, who share two children, separated in March 2018 after five years of marriage and had been waiting two years for a divorce.

Over the course of their tumultuous marriage, Katie accused Kieran of cheating with her best friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, as well as sleeping with her close pal Chrissy Thomas.
In August 2017, she famously claimed Kieran had cheated on her for a third time with their nanny Nikki Brown, resulting in the breakdown of their union.
Moved on: The divorce now leaves Katie free to tie the knot with her new boyfriend Carl Woods
Katie spilled the beans in an Instagram post in which she wished her ex a 'happy future' and admitted that she'll never give up on her 'fairtytale ending'.
In a heartfelt post shared with her followers, the star praised her ex for 'not wanting anything' from their divorce as she explained their split has been 'amicable'.
She penned last year: 'Finally me and Kieran will be divorced in next few days and how amicable it has been and respect he is the first man not wanting anything from our divorce and wish him a happy future with Michelle.
'And now I'm free and will never give up that happy fairytale ending of one day getting married and having my family unit I desire (sic).'

The divorce is Katie's third: She was wed to Peter Andre, 47, from 2005 to 2009 and cage fighter Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012.
Katie shares two children – her son Jett, seven, and daughter Bunny, six – with former stripper Kieran.
She is also a mother to son Junior, 15, and daughter Princess, 13, with her ex-husband, singer and TV personality Peter. She is also the mother to 18-year-old Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke, 49.
While Katie is hoping to tie the knot with car dealer Carl when he pops the question, Kieran is now engaged to his fiancée Michelle Penticost.
The Real Husbands of Katie Price
In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here's a look at the trio with whom she exchanged 'I dos'... and 'I don'ts':
PETER ANDRE (2005 - 2009)
The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.
ALEX REID (2010 - 2012)
Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party at London's Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex 'too soon', she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.
KIERAN HAYLER (2013 - 2021)
Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie's world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their 'amicable' divorce was finalised in early 2021.
It was reported last year that Carl spent £10,000 on an engagement ring for Katie in October and asked her eldest son Junior for his permission to marry her.
Over the Christmas holiday, Katie revealed that she hoped to enter the New Year 'with a baby on the way and a ring on my finger' as she is not getting 'any younger'.
The former Loose Women star admitted that she knows Carl is 'the one' and cannot wait for him to pop the big question.
Katie has been utterly inseparable from her new beau Carl Woods since they went public with their romance in July.

At the time, she told The Sun that Carl did not propose at Christmas as it is 'too cliché' but that her boyfriend does have big plans to propose in 2021.
Carl also bragged that when they finally do marry it will be like 'nothing ever done before' and plans to send her into floods of tears with his proposal.
Speaking about her festive celebrations this year, Katie admitted she has had her first sober Christmas and said it makes her 'sick' thinking back on her past decisions.
Katie recently opened up about her decision to seek professional help and become an inpatient at The Priory - which she described as 'the best thing she's ever done'.
She bravely admitted that she got to 'breaking point' where she felt she 'couldn't cope', but thankfully had a wake-up call and put herself into rehab.
