Katie Price won’t be spending Mother’s Day with her children
Katie Price has revealed that she won’t be spending Mother’s Day with any of her five children today – but insisted that she had an important reason why.

The former glamour model, 46, hit the road and wished fans a Happy Mother’s Day when she opened up about her own plans for the day. Katie – who is mum to Harvey (22) with Dwight Yorke, 19-year-old Junior and Princess (17) with ex-husband Peter Andre, and Jett (11) and Bunny (10) with ex-husband Kieran Hayler – told her followers to enjoy the day.

She said: “Happy Mother’s Day everybody! Enjoy your day. And all you kids, look after your mum today! Spoil her rotten. Talking of which, I’m not with my kids today because it’s my first show at panto. But they’ve given me cards and all they need to do and I love it. That means a lot.”

Katie also paid tribute to her terminally ill mum Amy, who was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2017 and underwent a lung transplant in November 2022. She wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to my mum who is my absolute world, a true example of a strong women. I love her soooo much.” [SIC]

She previously spoke about her heartbreaking IVF journey and her yearning to become a mum again in a Channel 4 documentary. Speaking on the Netmums Podcast last year, Katie told hosts Wendy and Alison that she does want more kids, and specified how many. Sharing an update, the TV personality said: “I still want more.” She added: “I’m at that stage and I do want more kids. I want more. And I don’t want to be told by a doctor or something that I can’t have more. I know I’m not done. If I could have two more kids I would.”

Katie went on to explain that while she “might act young and look younger”, she is 46 years old. “So I’m at that stage and I do want more kids,” she said, continuing: “I didn’t realise until I did the IVF that when you’re born, you’re born with a set of eggs, and every period you have, you know, you get rid of eggs. So mine are quite old now.”

She also shared how “grateful” she felt to have her children, and explained that she is exploring her fertility options because she knows she’s “not done” with having babies. During the chat, Katie also spoke candidly about bringing up her eldest child, Harvey, without his father in the picture. She said: “I brought him up as a single parent.

“And in a way, for me that’s been the easiest. I always say to women, sometimes it’s easier to bring them up on your own, especially if you do break-ups and you’re not sure about if you want to have a continual relationship with the guy. I’ve had no aggro with Harvey because no dad’s been present – the other guys aggro. So for me, being a single parent for Harvey has been a dream”.

More recently, Katie revealed that she is going through the menopause and says her body is ‘ageing on the inside’. It came weeks after revealing she’s had a heartbreaking miscarriage.

Speaking on her podcast The Katie Price Show, Katie discussed 90s and 00s boybands reuniting – following the news Five are getting back together. And she shared her shock at how she’s the same age as the musicians from that era.

She said: “When Five are coming back and the Boyzone thing – did you see that? So we’re all looking so much older and I think, ‘they’re the same age as me’ but I still don’t feel I’m old.

“But I know I am because even my body inside is going through the menopause, so I’m not a young spring chicken, it doesn’t matter how young I think I look, what tracksuit I put on and whatever. My body is old! It’s scary isn’t it? Inside my body it is ageing but the outside is fresh,” she said, referencing her numerous surgeries and tweakments.
