Katie Price, known for her high-profile career and colorful personal life, is making headlines again as she expresses her determination to grow her family. At 46, the former glamour model has been quite vocal about her desire to have more children, especially after undergoing several rounds of IVF treatment.
Price, who already has five children — Harvey, 22, Junior, 19, Princess, 17, Jett, 10, and Bunny, 9 — has not shied away from her dream of adding two more kids to her brood. During her recent appearances on podcasts, she opened up about the challenges she faces, both physically and emotionally, as she navigates her late 40s.
Having tried three unsuccessful rounds of IVF with her former fiancé, Carl Woods, Price is determined not to let these setbacks deter her. "I don’t want to be told by a doctor or something like I can’t have more. I know I’m not done. If I could have two more kids, I would," she shared during her conversation on the Netmums Podcast.
Interestingly, Katie's family aspirations were fueled by recent photos of her posing with what appeared to be twins—but these turned out to be dolls used for her upcoming Channel 4 documentary titled Katie Price: Making Babies. Despite this misunderstanding sparking confusion among fans, it underlines her commitment to documenting her family planning struggles and victories.
On the podcast, Katie acknowledged the ticking clock on her fertility. She mentioned symptoms like night sweats and questioned whether she might be pre-menopausal, which adds urgency to her dreams. "Maybe I’m pre-menopausal? So I’m at this stage and I do want more kids," she said, reflecting on her biological reality.
Price is not only focused on her personal ambitions but also on how her children are developing their own paths. Addressing public perception, she hit back at accusations of being a 'pushy parent' to her teenage children, Junior and Princess. She insisted they are carving out careers on their own terms, without her direct influence. "Junior, naturally, is talented. He got his scholarship at school to do drama... he wants to do it himself," she added, defending their independence.
While Price understands the challenges her children face as they navigate the fame associated with their family name, she believes they deserve credit for their accomplishments. She emphasized, "They’re doing it themselves. I don’t interfere... they want to do it themselves, not have any of your input."
Princess also weighed in on the so-called 'nepo baby' label during her interviews, expressing confidence and personal agency, noting, "Obviously, it has helped, but if you don’t put the work in yourself, you’re not going to get anywhere." This attitude underlines the importance of hard work and independence among the younger generation, challenging assumptions about celebrity offspring.
Even with her past and current struggles, Katie remains resolute about motherhood and is exploring alternative paths. Her recent conversations reflect not just her aspirations but also the lessons learned throughout her family's multifaceted experiences. Filming her IVF process has provided Katie with insight and clarity, showcasing her vulnerability and desire to be open about her reproductive challenges.
Katie's determination doesn't come without acknowledgment of the difficulties involved. She stressed, "It doesn’t matter if I look young or I look younger — your body is still 46, and your eggs get less as you get older. It’s harder." She conveyed these sentiments with honesty, preparing fans for the potential emotional roller-coaster captured through her documentary.
The upcoming show promises to provide viewers with intimate insights not only of her personal struggles but also of her existing family dynamic, where all her kids will play significant roles. The reality of aging and family planning resonates deeply as Katie balances her public persona with her inner wishes.
Fans are left eager to see how Katie’s continued pursuit of motherhood and her children’s burgeoning careers will evolve. Her mixture of tenacity and authenticity serves as both inspiration and reflection of the modern motherhood experience. Katie Price's life remains an open book, filled with chapters eager to be penned.
