As Katie Price’s 46th birthday approaches, she is still firmly focused on having a sixth baby, according to a source.
The mum-of-five is loved-up with John Joe “JJ’” Slater from Married At First Sightand is said to be “weighing up all her options” to add to her brood, after failed surrogacy and IVF cycles.
The source told new that Katie, who turns 46 next month, is “all about the babies”, particularly after her ex Peter Andre became a dad for the fifth time last week with his wife Emily MacDonagh.
“Katie has spoken to doctors about having another baby and understands that there are risks because of her age, but she’s very defiant about becoming a mum again,” they claimed.
“She did IVF with Carl [ex-fiancé Carl Woods] but it didn’t work for them and the hope of a sixth baby hasn’t gone away.”
Katie has been showing off her blossoming romance with JJ, 31, and described their coupling as “fate”. When she first confirmed the relationship, she said JJ “ticks every box” and described him as a “real gentleman”.
“She’s with JJ now and because he’s young he’ll probably want children and that suits her baby dreams,” the source said. “So she is weighing up all her options.”
Former Page 3 star Katie has spoken in the past about her fertility journey, and after saying she “needed more babies” in 2022, she said she “unfortunately” hadn’t frozen her eggs when she was younger.
She is already mum to 21-year-old Harvey, the son she shares with footballer Dwight Yorke, Princess, 16, and Junior, 18, who she shares with ex-husband Peter, and her youngest two children, Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, from her marriage to Kieran Hayler.
Our source claimed the decision not to put her eggs on ice could now be haunting Katie as her biological clock continues to tick. According to the pregnancy charity Tommy’s, the chances of falling pregnant naturally is significantly lower at 40 than at 30 (dropping from 75% of couples falling pregnant within a year at 30, to 44%) and there is a higher risk of complications such as preeclampsia and placental abruption arising.
“Katie regrets not freezing her eggs. She knows it’s something she could have done years ago, as it’s obviously more difficult to have a baby naturally in your mid-forties,”
