Pete married Katia, who performs in his band, in a private ceremony at a lavish French retreat in September 2021 – just two days after confirming their engagement.
Doing well: Pete has been clean of heroin for three and a half years, has settled down with his Puta Madres bandmate Katia in France after ditching his bad boy lifestyle
The couple wed at the Domaine Saint Clair hotel in the French city of Etretat – their home for the last three years – while The Libertines and the couple’s band Puta Madres provided music.
Pete has been clean of heroin for three and a half years, has settled down with his Puta Madres bandmate Katia in France after ditching his bad boy lifestyle.
He shot to fame in the mid-2000s as the frontman for indie band The Libertines, but found nationwide attention when he dated supermodel Kate Moss.
The pair met at her 31st birthday bash in January 2005, and he declared soon after that he’d ‘really found love.’
Their turbulent romance briefly ended when Pete failed to complete a stint in rehab in Arizona, USA, with Kate saying at the time she has ‘various personal issues I need to address.’

He even drew a portrait of himself and Kate using crayons and his own blood in 2005.
Pete also famously scrawled ‘I love Kate 4 eva’ on the windscreen of his Jaguar after leaving court following a drug-related offence.
He and Kate eventually reunited and attended rehab together, but they were seen in many public rows before they finally split in July 2007 after getting engaged.

Pete then famously branded her a ‘nasty old rag’ in an interview with Metro after they split for good in 2007, which came months after he proposed to her.
Pete has a son, Astile, 19, from his relationship with Lisa Moorish, and it was reported in 2009 that the singer was once-banned from seeing his son because of his drug habit.
But after going to rehab and getting clean, he became a much more hands-on dad.
Lisa told Metro in 2009: ‘Peter has on-and-off problems with his recovery so it was a really difficult decision to make.
‘But when he came out of rehab last year, and started to get his life in order I thought the time was right. I want Astile to have a dad.’

A week after Linda shared the news, Pete said: ‘The little girl was two months premature. I said I’d try to be there for the birth… Yeah, she’s mine.’
While his most famous relationship was with Kate, Pete also had a fling with the late singer Amy Winehouse before her death in 2011.
Speaking to The Mail On Sunday in 2012, he said: ‘Amy and I were lovers. I loved her then and, well, I still do today.

‘But towards the end, as only lovers can, she became quite mean and cruel to me. She didn’t suffer fools… and believe me, she had a mean right hook.’
In the past, Pete has pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine.
In 2012, he was thrown out of a luxury rehab clinic in Thailand after claims he was a bad influence on other patients and did not try hard enough to kick his heroin habit.
Peter said earlier last year, that he has been doing a lot of sleeping, eating French cheese and drinking water following his move to Normandy.
He is generally enjoying a much slower pace of life these days and has reportedly taken to the bowls-style sport, pétanque.
