London, Oct 15 (IANS): English glamour model Chantelle Houghton says that her ex-fiance Alex Reid is still in love with his previous wife Katie Price and that was one of the reasons of her split.

"I do still love Alex now. I was totally in love with him 100 per cent. But I finally got to the point where I had to get out, and I could never go back. Now I don't believe that he never loved me," dailymail.co.uk quoted Houghton as saying.

Price' 11-month marriage to the cage fighter ended in divorce in February last year, just a few months before he met Houghton.

And the glamour model has admitted that their short-lived romance was always overshadowed by Reid's close male friends and his feelings for Price.

"There was always a third person in our relationship. I would say he definitely still loves her(Price) even now," she said.

"Alex brings people into his life, random people. He goes through phases of being super-close with them. It's like they're having a relationship and what's stopping them is me," she added.
