Aussie singer Peter Andre has allegedly blocked ex-wife Katie Price from messaging and calling him any old time she feels like it in a bid to keep her contact with him as limited as possible.
It comes after newly single Katie, 39, made several comments about her marriage to Pete, 44, during her one-woman tour this month.
Dad-of-four Pete is reportedly making his marriage to Emily MacDonagh a main priority and will only contact Katie for the sake of their two children, Junior, 12, and Princess, 10.

An insider told Reveal magazine: “Pete’s put a block on his phone to moderate when Katie can call and message, so she can’t just randomly get in touch when she feels like it.
“He’s essentially ‘blocking’ her from how much involvement she has in his life and keeping her contact limited to only when it’s absolutely necessary.”
The source continued: “It means the friendship that took them so long to rebuild is being put on the back-burner by Pete.
“Katie is an all-or-nothing kind of girl, and he can’t have the luxury of having a friendship with a very vocal ex-wife and keeping focused on Emily.”
Pete and Katie married in 2005 but split in 2009.
The pair then engaged in a bitter nine-year-long feud but finally put their differences aside for the sake of their children.
Since then reality star Pete has happily moved on with wife Emily, who he married in 2015, and they share two gorgeous children.
Meanwhile Katie married her third husband Kieran Hayler in 2013 but recently split last month after she discovered he had been cheating with their children’s nanny.
The insider went on to explain that Pete apparently wants to make Emily and their family his main priority.
They told the mag: “He has a wife and two other children [Amelia, three, and Theo, ten-months] and he has to take a step back from Katie for their well-being.
“It’s not that Pete bears any bad feeling towards Katie, but he feels he has to show Emily that their family is his priority.”
But it’s reportedly not sitting too well with Pricey.
“She’s taking the ban very personally and saying it’s another example of how men who she used to be closed to end up betraying her,” they added.
Loose Women star Katie has been very vocal about her romance with Pete and even made a few swipes at her ex during her tour this month.
Katie is currently touring the UK for her one-woman show – An Audience With Katie Price.
In her recent show in Stevenage at the weekend Katie spilled all on her relationships with her exes – even going as far to rate each one of how good they are in the sack!
Speaking about Aussie heartthrob Pete, Katie said: “They said ‘once you’ve had Greek you’ve hit your peak’. Well I didn’t.”
Hmmm… she then appeared to contradict herself by suggesting once again that Peter was the love of her life, reportedly saying: “Pete was the love of my life, but he was short. I thought he was fit but so short.”

The star then moved on to cage fighter ex Alex, who she was married to from 2010 to 2012.
She said: “You got it right.
“I don’t want to [bleep] a woman I want to [bleep] a man. I didn’t know [he was a cross-dresser] before I married him.”
Meanwhile Peter and Emily appear to keep themselves to themselves and have kept a dignified silence on Katie.
The loved-up couple have been enjoying life with their two children together as well as taking romantic breaks away to keep their romance going strong.
With Emily soon returning to work as a junior doctor next month and Pete flying out to the States to start his Hollywood film career, it seems everything is going well for these two.
