Katie, who has Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven, with Kieran, was charged last week and will appear in court next month over a foul-mouthed text to Michelle.
Those close to Kieran, 34, believe he wants to see her locked up if she is convicted especially as she dodged jail over a drink-drive offence.
A pal said: “Kieran and Michelle have kept a dignified silence throughout this and, after learning Katie was charged, they hope justice will be served.
“Kieran thinks that if Katie has done something wrong, she needs to learn that actions have consequences.
“He has told their two children that if Katie has done something bad, she could go to prison.
“Kieran has always been honest with the children as he wants them to understand right and wrong.
“It has been a very stressful time for everyone involved and now they just want a resolution.”
The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years.

If she is found guilty, she could have 16 weeks added on to any prison sentence — with the offence said to have happened just a month after she was handed a suspended jail sentence for her drink-drive crash.
Katie was given the restraining order in 2019 following a bust-up at the school gates. It lasts five years
She was arrested in January over the alleged text and spent 12 hours in a police cell.
Before her drink-drive let-off, Kieran told The Sun he believed prison could be a wake-up call for Katie — to whom he was married for five years until 2018.
Katie, also mum to Harvey, 19, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke, plus Junior, 16, and Princess, 14, from her marriage to Peter Andre, is due to appear at Crawley magistrates, West Sussex, on April 12.
