After dumping the kids to jet off to Las Vegas it is now being reported that Katie Price and Alex Reid tied the knot in a ceremony in Las Vegas.

The wedding ceremony was a sharp contrast to Price’s marriage to Peter Andre which was all pink and doves and sparkles.

This seems to have been done in a heat of the moment instinct. It seems strange after all the ups and downs of the relationship of the couple for them to have married so quickly after Reid winner Big Brother that you can’t help but ask yourself if this is just another attempt by Price to keep in the public eye and Reid did say that he was maybe more famous than Reid now.

Reid and Price released a statement last night around midnight UK time saying “We are very much in love.”

“We look forward to the future together. We can’t wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who fully support our wishes.”

Price’s agent has said “Katie and Alex are delighted to announce they got married in a private, simple ceremony.”

The couple were seen shopping for a wedding ring just hours before the ceremony.

The newlyweds are staying at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Vegas where rooms can costs more than £6,000 a night.

They shared champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries before being driven 500 yards to the rose-strewn chapel.

But in true Katie Price style the wedding was being recorded

Price’s agent added “Their decision to marry has not been made with any media deal in place. It is purely down to their love for each other.”

If Andre was livid before who knows what he will be now?
