His wife Katie Price presented him with a very lavish birthday gift, an Audi R8, around this time last year.
But, just days after it was reported the pair have split once again, Kieran Hayler looks to have traded in his flashy car for a much more modest (and cheaper) model as he was pictured driving a Hyundai ix35 this week.
The former stripper, 31, was spotted carpooling Katie’s son Junior and his friends in the silver vehicle, which was registered in 2010 and has a trade value of less than £4,000.

The car is certainly a step down from the black Audi R8, complete with personalised number plate, that Kieran was treated to by wife Kate little over a year ago, which cost in the region of £70,000.
Kieran’s outing appears to confirm reports that Katie has left him in the family home to care of their kids, Jett, five, and Bunny, four, as well as children Harvey, 15, Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, who she shares with previous partners.
According to The Sun, the 39-year-old has reverted to her wild, party-girl ways after dumping Kieran for good, following his affair with their nanny last year.

Claiming the on and off pair have finally parted ways for good, a source said: ‘There have been loads of trials and tribulations but it’s finally over.’
However, the insider went on to claim that Kieran is still staying in the family home, as he wants to look after his two children as well as Harvey, Princess and Junior, from Katie’s previous relationships.
They went on: ‘They’ve both accepted it and are ending the marriage, but Kieran is still in the house for now. He’s great with the kids and has almost become a live-in nanny.’

It is believed that Katie was the one to finally break things off, despite Kieran’s suspicions that she is already back on the dating scene – and has even grown close to footballer Shane Duffy, following a recent string of wild nights out.
Katie also enjoyed a solo holiday while her ex cared for the kids, and a night out in Essex with reality star Rykard Jenkins.
The Loose Women panelist first announced she had split from Kieran in August, after his affair with the family nanny emerged.

The infidelity followed previous heartbreak for Katie by Kieran, who had already cheated on her with her then-best friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas.
However, the pair shared numerous social media posts together at the end of the year – proving they had reconciled, amid claims Kieran was ‘desperate’ to win her back.
Yet, a source told MailOnline at the time: ‘The feelings are all one-sided. Katie still feels like the relationship is over – but obviously she doesn’t have a nanny now so Kieran lives with her and he takes care of the children.’
Their split marks the end of their five-year marriage, having tied the knot in the Bahamas in January 2013 after just two months of romance.
