Katie Price lashes out at ex Dwight Yorke as she reveals the last time they saw each other before he ‘disowned’ their son Harvey
Katie Price has hit out at ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke for the way he behaved as she welcomed their son Harvey into the world.
The glamor model, 45, and the former Premier League footballer, 51, briefly romanced in 2001 and split shortly after Katie became pregnant with her eldest child Harvey, now 21.
When Katie first became pregnant with Harvey, Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity.
He is believed to have no contact with their son, who has autism, partial blindness and Prader-Willi syndrome.
In her latest podcast about the moment she gave birth to Harvey in 2002, she explained: ‘Dwight showed up at the last minute but he didn’t want to come into the room or cut the cord, so daddy did it, he cut the cord. ‘

Katie continued, “And by the way, I remember Dwight saying, ‘Oh, there’s a bruise,’ and I was like, ‘Don’t insult me.’
‘That was the last time I saw Dwight, I didn’t see him much after that.
“I found it (the mark) and it’s called a Mongolian blue spot, it eventually fades.”
It comes after Katie’s mum Amy has revealed that ‘womanizer’ Dwight is her favorite of her daughter’s former partners.
She made the surprising admission in her upcoming autobiography, The Last Word, as she recounted Katie’s ill-fated relationship with the footballer.
However, Amy revealed that despite this, he still holds a special place in her heart.
An excerpt from her book, published in The sun, read: ‘When Kate told me she was dating Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, my heart sank. He had a reputation as a womanizer.
“But of all the men Kate has had in her life, Dwight will – perhaps surprisingly – always be my favorite because he gave us this incredible child.”
Amy told how Dwight wouldn’t show up for scans or baby classes with her and ‘told her his friends thought she was just keeping the baby to get his money.”
As the athlete showed up for the birth, Amy revealed that his agent told him not to register the birth with Katie before getting a DNA test, noting: ‘wWhat should have been a beautiful memory was spoiled by this cynicism.’

Katie’s 2021 memoir, Katie Price: Harvey and Me, details the model how Dwight apparently refused to see Harvey after the child asked to see his father at a meal in the Cheshire village of Alderley Edge.
Katie wrote: ‘I walked up to him and he didn’t really say much – it was so awkward. He didn’t even buy me a drink! But that was typical Dwight.’
She claimed that after her arrival he said he didn’t want to see the couple anymore.
The book said, “Even after he said that, I still tried to be persistent. I wanted Harvey to have his father in his life, but he just wasn’t interested in that. ‘This isn’t about me. This is your son and your flesh and blood,’
“But he just didn’t care. There’s only so much you can try before you realize you’re flogging a dead horse. I got up and left and that was the last time I saw him. I haven’t heard from him since.’
Dwight previously lambasted Katie in his own book Born To Score in 2009 after claiming she didn’t let him see Harvey.
He wrote: ‘From the moment I saw the little guy, I have loved my son like I never thought possible. “I’m not going to hear anymore that I didn’t care about Harvey, or have any understanding of his needs, or that I wasn’t interested in his well-being.”

Katie Price’s real husbands
In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and very likely endured – a decidedly busy love life, walking down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here’s a look at the trio she exchanged “I dos”… and “I don’ts” with:
PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)

The flying sparks soon turned into marriage, with blushing bride Katie and her former pop hunk.

Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 after 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.

However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the couple announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.
ALEX REID (2010 – 2012)
Katie quickly changed her romantic allegiance from a former belly-carrying pop heartthrob to muscular 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, just so he could win her back and the pair went from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering on her husband for a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (which also featured none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie headed to Las Vegas to tie the knot in February 2010. steps with her new partner. just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. After their stay in Sin City, the couple returned to their native Britain, where they held a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just eleven months of marriage, the couple announced their separation and their divorce was finalized in March 2012. While Katie stated at the time that she married Alex ‘too early’, she would later reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.
KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)
Showing she was a true woman of the time, Katie struck up a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after changing the paths of their lives via that thumb- After tapping out fateful opening messages, the pair would exchange weddings in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to an excited Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later the pair would be pronounced man and wife on January 16, 2013 on the idyllic coast of the Bahamas. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed it looked like 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 Kieran had cheated on her with her good friend of twenty years, Jane Pountney, and had an affair with another of her friends, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-enemies), Katie seemed determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But unfortunately that would not turn out to be the case. Third time lucky for Katie, as the couple split in 2018 amid yet more cheating allegations.
