Last month, Kris dumped the star after five months of dating. The couple had hit the headlines for a number of steamy snaps of the couple holidaying together.
The incident comes following a turbulent year for the star, which has already seen her fall foul of the law over driving offences.
In February, the 40-year-old was banned from driving for six months after being clocked doing 60mph on the 50mph A24 in her £75,000 Land Rover.
The Sun on Sunday revealed in July that police had been alerted to pictures of the star driving two weeks before the end of her ban.
Price later confessed on Instagram, explaining she had been driving son Harvey to hospital. She blamed an “emotional rollercoaster” for her decision to drive while banned.
She said at the time: "Been on such an emotional rollercoaster the last 6 months and my head has been all over the place, so much so, that I thought my driving ban was up.

Price has already fallen foul of the law for driving offences and was banned from getting behind the wheel in February after being clocked doing 60mph on the 50mph A24.
"After driving to Harvey's Hospital appointment I have NOW found out that I don't get my licence back until 8th August. With this on my conscience I called police and reported myself.
"I've come such a long way and just want easy life now. 'I have got out of a hole and am finally happy and looking forward to being my old independent self."
Just weeks later she was filmed slumping to the floor after rapping the words “I love coke” during a wild party with two men she met in a bar.
