Split: Katie Price has split from boyfriend Leandro Penna days after he declared he wanted to marry her, according to reports


Just this week he gave an interview gushing about his love for her and revealing his hopes for marriage and a family.

But it seems Leandro Penna may have spoken too soon - as it emerged today that he and Katie Price have split.

The language barrier between the Brighton-raised reality star and Argentine model is one of the primary reasons for the split, according to reports.


Just yesterday an interview the 26-year-old toyboy gave was published in which he said: 'We have a project of a family.'

'She is the woman who I love and want to protect and care for her. I want to be at peace enjoying our lives.'

But according to the Sunday Mirror, the couple called time on their seven-month relationship this week over the phone.

'Katie knew in her heart that it was coming. She’s being very adult about the split and says she didn’t see it as a long-term relationship that would lead to marriage and kids,' a source told the Mirror.

'But she will miss him. The language barrier was ultimately the problem for them.'

According to reports, the couple were still having to use translators to understand each other seven months into the relationship.

The last time Miss Price, 33, mentioned her boyfriend over Twitter was at the start of September when she said she was missing him while he was in London with his family.

The couple previously tweeted each other constantly.

According to the Mirror, Penna travelled with his family to New York and extended his trip to Miami to visit his brother.

In his interview Leandro said he'd been in the US looking at work opportunities, however it appears as though he may have also been gaining some distance.

Meanwhile Katie has been enjoying nights out with close friends including Lauren Pope and her best friends Phil Turner and Gary Cockerill.

'(Leandro) doesn’t speak good English, she’s been busy on book and magazine ­signings across the country and he’s bored out of his mind. It’s sad – but it was for the best that he goes home,' a source told the Mirror.

Penna was certainly whistling a different tune when he discussed Katie in his interview, denying the ongoing rumours of trouble in paradise.

Brushing off reports he was seeking a £2million pre-nup before tying the knot, he added: 'If tomorrow we marry, it's because we feel right.'

He said their relationship was 'better than ever' and dismissed suggestions they had been rowing and the gifts he brought back for Katie from Miami were peace offerings.

'There's no problems at all, things are very well. The best we have ever been,' he insisted.

Katie and Leandro quickly sparked a relationship after meeting at Elton John's Oscars party in La in February, just weeks after her split from second husband Alex Reid.

She was previously married to Peter Andre, whom she has two children, Junior and Princess, with, and also has another son, Harvey, from her relationship with Dwight York.
