Having remained in England to prepare for a bout while his wife holidays in Portugal with her three children, the cage-fighter admits he is enjoying the peace at home.
Alex Reid is glad to be apart from
Katie Price. The cage-fighter, who married the former glamor model in Las Vegas in February, has remained in England to prepare for a bout while his spouse holidays in Portugal with her three children and admits he is enjoying the peace at home.
"It's been great that the missus has been away," he explained to the Daily Star newspaper. "Because I get a better night's sleep with no kids in the house! I had a day off from training and I was going to do a bit of shopping and maybe watch a movie with a friend. I didn't do anything. I spent the whole day on the sofa in my pants watching old films. You can't top that, it was great. I felt recharged!"
Meanwhile, Katie, who has Harvey, eight, Junior, five, and Princess Tiaamii, three, from previous relationships, had blasted her critics, claiming she is portrayed as a "bad mum".
She told Wonderland magazine, "People always try to make out that I am f***ed up in the head because I've had surgery. They just want to say that I'm a bad mum, a party animal, a surgery freak, losing the plot. The paparazzi treat me like a product, an animal."
