Model Katie Price and Alex Reid, who she began dating shortly after she divorced Peter Andre last year, married in Las Vegas, her spokesman told the BBC.
The pair married in a "private, simple ceremony" Tuesday. "We are very much in love and look forward to the future together," they said in a statement.
In November, Price revealed that the two had broken up. She said then: "It's best that I'm on my own. I don't want a relationship... I'm not with him, no."
Price also apologized for her antics since her break-up with ex-husband Peter Andre, saying she had "acted like a right twit." The pair divorced last year.
Model Price - formerly known as Jordan - and Alex Reid, a cage fighter who won their nation's version of Big Brother Friday, are due back in the UK soon.
The couple said in a statement: "We can't wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes."

Naturally, this being Katie Price we're talking about, some people are skeptical as to whether this wedding is a good idea, or done for the right reasons.
On cue, a spokesman for the couple added: "Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other."
Perhaps we shouldn't be too shocked, either. Price said in a recent magazine interview that "This year I will marry Alex and I'm going to have his kids."
Look for her to be knocked up any day now.
Asked about the surprise development, Peter Andre said he had "no negative feelings" about the marriage of Price and Reid. "As long as there's a good influence to the kids, I'm happy. I don't have any negative feelings inside me. If they're happy, great."
What do you think? Will Jordan and Alex Reid last?

i completely agree with the above comment made by lisa grey. i think katie price is selfish and very heartless. i think she is a slag and should not be bringing different men in the her kids life it is not fair on them one bit! and im sure she would have plenty to say if things were the other way around . . . . and all this about her planning a fourth with alex well what are you thinking?! katie and alex have only been together a few months they are going though the honeymoon period as far as im concerned. How can she move her life on so quick and forget about the man that she was married to for 4years pfft makes me laugh ! just because she got all the money and shes famous people dont seem bothered about the fact that shes got kids by different men and is planning a fourth with another man, a man that shes only been with for 5mins but if it was a regular woman who was having kids by different men and wanting to have babies after babies they would b called a slag and all sorts of names and would b looked down on by others. . . well katie price ur fam doesnt hide the fact that ur a SLAG and i actually feel sorry for alex because once the honeymoon period is over and uv had you lil baby by him u will do exactly the same 2 alex as u did 2 pete! AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN ALEX'S LASTNAME BUT WHEN U AND PETE WAS MARRIED AND HE WANTED U 2 BE KATIE ANDRE U WOULDNT DO IT ! I PERSONALLY THINK THAT U R RUBBING PETES FACE IN IT PROBS TO GET BACK AT HIM FOR HAVING THE BALLS 2 LEAVE U! YOU KNOW WHAT U ARE DOING AND IT MAKES ME SICK! I JUST HOPE ALEX 1DAY OPENS HIS EYES AND SEES U FOR WHAT U ARE !

The only way to teach a chronic attention seeker such as Katie Price is to totally boycott her!! Katie who???

OH DON'T YOU JUST LOVE SAINT PETE 'I'M HAPPY FOR THEM' CRAP! NOT MUCH YOU COULD DO PETEY BOY IF YOU WEREN'T. I THINK HE IS A COLD HEARTED PRIG. IF HIS MARRIAGE WAS SO MUCH OF A SHAM WHY DID HE RENEW HIS VOWS WITH HER - A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE HE WALKED OUT ON HER, SO MUCH FOR BETTER AND FOR WORSE! AND YES US SUCKERS THOUGHT IT WAS ALL TRUE LOVE! HE WAS A ONE HIT WONDER AND LAUNCHED HIS CAREER (THATS A LAUGH!) OFF KATIES FAME. MYSTERIOUS GIRL, MORE LIKE UNMYSTERIOUS REASON FOR STAYING WITH SOMEONE FOR SO LONG CONNING THE ENTIRE PUBLIC! I WAS TEAM NEUTRAL BUT I AM THINK I'M ON TEAM REID NOW.

"Their nation's version of Big Brother" ?!?!? WE invented it!!
And it was Celebrity Big Brother, not the regular show.
But anyhoo, Alex is a bit of a ledge!! He's Jordan's newest money machine
