Peter Andre and Australia-based graphic designer Angela Mogridge, 31, were introduced by his brother Michael Andre at a showbiz party in Australia over a decade ago.
‘The attraction was instant,' says Pete, 38.
‘We've had our moments together, but her life is based there.'
In a weird twist of fate, Angela Mogridge worked as Katie Price's chaperone on I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004 - the series when Peter Andre fell for his ex-wife.
Despite his deep connection with Angela Mogridge, he cut ties with her to be with new love Katie.
After his marriage broke down in May 2009, Peter Andre waited until October last year to end his self-imposed sex ban - and when he did, it was with Angela Mogridge.
At the time, he confessed: ‘Yes, I've had sex... We care about each other.
'We've always been attracted to each other.
'We have a mutual love and respect.'
Now can reveal that since his split with Elen Rivas, 35, in April, Peter Andre's been in constant contact with the woman he calls ‘his angel' and describes to his pals as ‘definite wife material'.
The insider says: ‘They've been speaking, texting and Skypeing.
'He adores talking to her because he can just be himself.
'They exchange a lot of jokes but things have become quite steamy over the past two months.
‘During one recent conversation, Pete told her she's beautiful both inside and out.
'He's constantly praising her and she praises him too.
'He loves that she makes him feel so good about himself.
'He sees her as his rock, which is something he's looking for in a future wife.'
