Katie Price baby shock as star is making new TV show following her surrogacy journey to become a mum to SIXTH child
KATIE Price is making a new TV documentary following her surrogacy journey to have a sixth child, The Sun can reveal.
The 45-year-old star – who is back together with her ex Carl Woods – is desperate to become a mum again.
Katie is already mum to five children; 20-year-old Harvey with Dwight Yorke, 17-year-old Junior and 15-year-old Princess with Peter Andre, and Jett, nine, and Bunny, eight, with Kieran Hayler.
If all goes well she will be following in the footsteps of US reality stars Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian who have had children with the help of surrogates.
A source said: “Katie is thrilled to be embarking on this journey. She loves babies and has made no secret of the fact she has wanted another one for ages.
“She had difficult pregnancies with Bunny and Jett, and struggled to get pregnant again when she was trying with Carl last year.
“Katie will capture the highs and lows of her surrogacy journey on camera, and she knows her fans will want to see it all.
“She’s desperate for her kids to have a new brother or sister.”
Katie has made no secret about wanting to start a family with Essex car-dealer Carl.
How are surrogate babies conceived?
In traditional surrogacy procedures, the egg is artificially inseminated using a syringe.
Gestational surrogacy is carried out through IVF.
During this in vitro fertilisation process, the egg is removed from the woman’s ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory.
The embryo is then planted in the surrogate’s womb to grow and develop.
This procedure must be carried out by specialist doctors and the biological mother is required to still have working ovaries.
The star said she had been “trying to get pregnant for ages” – but wasn’t having any luck and admitted they might be forced to turn to surrogacy or IVF for their much-wanted baby.
On having more kids, she told The Sun she craves a baby with Carl.
In an exclusive chat in 2021, the former model said: “We’re going to call the baby Miracle.
“I’m doing this for my mum. She told me to have IVF so she can see us have kids. It will break my heart if she can’t.”
She also said in an interview with Netmums: “I am trying (to get pregnant)! If not, I would do a surrogate – obviously with Carl’s bits and my bits.
“IVF is another option we’re looking at because we have been trying for ages and it’s just not happening, so we have gone down the IVF route.”
The Sun has contacted Katie’s rep for comment.
