The alleged offences, which the 38-year-old personal trainer denies, occurred between June and October 2016.
It means he would have been married to former glamour model Katie Price at that time, while the alleged victim would have been 13.
Sussex Police said in a statement: "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.

“The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has received support from specially trained officers as our enquiries continue.”
A legal representative denied the allegations on Hayler’s behalf.
They 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 has previously worked as a stripper and actor and appeared on TV shows with reality star Price.
He was last seen in public earlier this month at Tulleys Farm Shocktober event, where he was pictured.
