Andre vows to emerge 'better man'
Sunday 2 August 2009
The 36-year-old singer said he was not ready to enter a new relationship despite reports of his estranged wife cavorting with a string of men since the split, including a cage fighter.
'I wish was stronger. The one thing about Katie is that she can just move on. I can't do that. Well, not yet anyway,' he told News Of The World's magazine Fabulous.
Insisting he had always been faithful to Price, aka glamour model Jordan, Andre said: 'I never cheated on her, from the moment that I met her until, well, I still haven't.'
He also revealed he had not told his children, Junior, four, Princess, two, and stepson Harvey, seven, that his three-and-a-half-year marriage to their mother was over, because he wanted to protect them.
'The kids don't actually know we've split up. When I leave them with Katie, I just say that Daddy has to go to work so I can buy them toys. And when Katie hands them over to me, I just tell them Mummy is working,' he said.
Andre recalled breaking down while on a shopping trip after being hit with the 'realisation that the family unit was smashed to pieces'.
Andre, who met Price on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, added: 'I'm still in a tunnel and can't see the light yet, but I know it's there. I know I'll get there and come out a stronger man - a better man.'
This week, he was awarded substantial undisclosed libel damages over a newspaper claim that he made inappropriate sexual advances to Jordan lookalike Shira Jones while still with his wife.
