Katie Price and Alex Reid are calling it quits after less than a year of marriage. At least it sounds like she is, from this long-winded, tangential statement.
Whether Alex is aware of or willing to acknowledge the split is unclear.
The supermodel and the cross-dressing cage fighter got together shortly after her divorce from Peter Andre. She then married Alex Reid early in 2010.
Things fell apart shortly thereafter. For a LONG explanation of why, and a synopsis of where things stand right now, we turn it over to Katie herself ...
"However, Alex changed from the man I fell in love with and some of his behaviour became difficult for me to understand and caused issues. I've tried to help Alex with these issues but they have put a considerable strain on our relationship."
"Our difficulties were also not helped by Alex becoming fascinated by life in the media eye. Obviously I cannot be critical of someone wanting to do this."
"Originally I tried to help him by getting him contracts with my production company. If Alex wants to honour those contracts, the production company is more than happy to do so."
"However, Alex’s desire to promote himself caused a change in the dynamic of our relationship and contributed to our alienation."
"Alex and I have spent many hours discussing our relationship and trying to make it work but the issues between us are too deep rooted. I had hoped that we could end our relationship amicably and without a war of words in the media."
"I appreciate that there are those that will not believe that but I had agreed I would say nothing more than the statement we had jointly prepared. This was not because I am concerned what Alex may truthfully disclose but to give him comfort that I would not discuss the issues that so strained our relationship."
"I had hoped that Alex and I could remain friends but I am not sure if that is possible given events since last Sunday when we were on the verge of releasing a statement. Alex asked that we did not release any statement because he wanted more time to think."
"The intervening period has, however, seen a number of false stories appear and photographs of Alex with my son Junior in the gym which it is absolutely clear were posed for. Alex is fully aware that I have sought to remove my children from the public eye now they are of an age to understand and be affected by media coverage of them."
"I feel incredibly let down that he did this while asking me for more time to discuss our relationship and just hope that the stories circulating that he sold those pictures are not true."
"It is true that I have asked Alex to leave the family home and that he will not do so. I would leave myself but the house is equipped for Harvey’s needs. Alex would like to portray himself as honourable and I hope he acts that way."
'Contrary to some reports I have not discussed financial matters with my divorce lawyers. I would like to make clear that the allegations that I have been dragging out any announcement so that my film crew can capture on film Alex’s upset are complete fabrication."
"I am deeply upset that my relationship with Alex has failed but I know it is the right thing for my children and I that we separate. My children are my absolute priority in this and they are being shielded from what is happening."
So basically, there is no divorce, officially, because the lawyers are not involved and he refuses to move out. But she's so over him, at least for today.
Stay tuned ...

MOSTLY SPLIT UP: Katie Price and Alex Reid are over ... at least she thinks so. It's a little confusing, especially by the end of her manifesto on the subject.
"Alex and I have had a number of difficulties over the past few months," she writes. "I accept that these were in part caused by my marrying too quickly.""However, Alex changed from the man I fell in love with and some of his behaviour became difficult for me to understand and caused issues. I've tried to help Alex with these issues but they have put a considerable strain on our relationship."
