Kieran Hayler has opened up about his relationship with Katie Prices son Harvey, and claims the teen is told to call each of her boyfriends daddy.

Katie, 40, and Kieran, 31, separated earlier this year after five years of marriage but are yet to divorce.

During their marriage, Kieran developed a close relationship with 16-year-old Harvey, who reportedly has no contact with his biological father Dwight Yorke.

Kieran also shares his own biological children with Katie – son Jett, five, and daughter Bunny, four.

Speaking to The Mirror at Tulleys Farm on Friday, which he attended with his new girlfriend Michelle Pentecost, Kieran said of Harvey: I was very close with him. The thing with Harvey is you have to be very careful with the way you introduce people and the way you leave him.

Since birth, Harvey has been diagnosed with various conditions including Prader-Willi syndrome, and is legally blind.

Referring to Katies ex-boyfriend Kris Boyson, Kieran continued: Problem is with me, is when I left that situation he was already calling Kris Daddy Kris and the only reason he would have done that is because someones prompted him to do that.

Of course [he called me daddy], but then he was calling Kris daddy, and now its Alex [Adderson] so itll be daddy Alex, and theres somebody telling him to do that because you can manipulate him like that, which isnt fair.

Kieran revealed he is still in contact with Junior, 12, and Princess, 11 – the children Katie shares with ex-husband Peter Andre, and saw them last weekend.

The former stripper added: It just is what it is, its a sad situation and Im trying to make the best out of it.

Jett and Bunny were thought to be living with Kieran while Katie continues treatment at London rehab clinic, The Priory, but it was revealed the model is a day patient and spends time with her children in the evenings.
