He allegedly attacked the girl in West Sussex between June 2016 and October 2016 when he was married to Katie, 47.
The alleged victim is not a member of his or Katie’s extended family.
Hayler appeared at Crawley Magistrates’ Court today for a first appearance.
He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during a short hearing.
Hayler was granted bail on the condition that he does not contact the alleged victim.
He will next appear at Lewes Crown Court for a plea hearing on December 17.
Hayler was charged last month by Sussex Police following an investigation.
A representative for Hayler said: “Kieran Hayler strongly denies the allegations made against him in its entirety.
“Mr Hayler is fully engaged and has been co-operating with the police throughout the investigation and will continue to do so.
“He looks forward to his name being cleared believing in the judicial system to do so.”
Hayler, who has worked as a stripper and actor, married Katie at a luxury resort in the Bahamas in 2013.
He was her third husband following her marriages to singer Peter Andre and cage fighter Alex Reid.
The pair went on to have two children together – Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11.
Katie and Hayler split in 2018 following cheating allegations on his side and formally divorced in 2021.
He got engaged to Michelle Penticost, who gave birth to their son Apollo, but the pair separated in February this year.
Sussex Police said: “We can confirm Kieran Hayler, 38, of Northchapel in West Sussex, has been charged with three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.
“The offences are alleged to have occurred at an address in West Sussex between June 1 and October 13, 2016.
