Katie Price's Fertility Journey and New Husband's Pregnancy Hint Spark Concern
Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, has sent pregnancy rumours into overdrive online after seemingly hinting that the former glamour model, 47, could be welcoming her sixth child with him. This development comes just weeks after their whirlwind romance and secret wedding in Dubai, sparking widespread speculation and concern among fans and family members.
Public Fertility Battles and IVF Documentary
Katie Price has endured one of the most public fertility battles, chronicling failed treatments, health scares, and heartbreaking losses. In 2023, she invited cameras for a two-part Channel 4 series titled Katie Price: Making Babies, which documented her attempts to conceive via IVF. The programme revealed the difficulties she faced as her hormone levels dwindled and her egg supply diminished, markers of the biological clock that often limit fertility in later years.
During the show, she underwent hormone stimulation and egg collection. Although one egg was fertilised, it ultimately did not result in a viable pregnancy, and the IVF treatment was unsuccessful. Following the documentary and the intense physical and emotional demands of treatment, Price described feeling exhausted and decided not to pursue further IVF cycles at that time.
Despite the setback, she made it clear in public appearances that she still wanted more children, telling fans that she didn't have any eggs left but still desired a sixth child. Katie is currently a mother to five children: Harvey Price, 23, Junior Andre, 20, Princess Andre, 18, Jett Riviera, 12, and Bunny Hayler, 11.
Miscarriage and Surrogacy Plans
Alongside fertility treatment, Price has been navigating perimenopause, the transition leading up to menopause that brings fluctuating hormones, night sweats, brain fog, and other symptoms. She has discussed worrying signs, including waking up with night sweats, and said she was having blood tests to better understand her body's changes.
Her journey wasn't limited to fertility clinics. Around Christmas 2024, Katie and then-partner JJ Slater experienced the heartbreak of a miscarriage after an unexpected pregnancy, a loss she later confirmed devastated her. She told The Sun: "Did I cry or not? I don't really know, but I was just really sad because we went from joy and relief that I could get pregnant naturally, to confusion, heartbreak and sadness."
Speaking about plans to grow her family in 2023, Katie told the Turning Adversity Into An Asset podcast: "I have got a surrogate, I haven't got any eggs anymore, I'm 44, I want another baby, so what am I supposed to do? I can't pop it out." When asked who would be having the baby, Katie said: "I have got this lady, it will be my egg - she's been a fan of mine for years, and she does do surrogacy." However, the surrogate later pulled out after being "disrespected" by Katie, who she claims treated her and her four children poorly.
Health Concerns and Sudden Marriage
Over the past year, Katie's health has been a concern for fans and her family. Recent scans and appointments revealed alarmingly low blood pressure, and her dramatically slim frame has drawn speculation about her well-being and weight loss. Medics reportedly had to double-check her readings because they were so unexpectedly low.
In January, Katie surprised many, including her own children, by entering into a secret marriage with businessman Lee Andrews after a whirlwind romance. The couple wed in a private ceremony in Dubai after meeting just weeks after her split from JJ Slater. Almost immediately, Lee sparked speculation that Katie might be expecting a sixth child. On social media, he shared an image of a man kissing a pregnant woman's belly and added the caption "Good things come to those who have waited" and a pregnant woman emoji.
Entrepreneur Lee has remained in Dubai since the wedding amid claims he is unable to leave after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to take out a £200,000 loan in her name, resulting in a three-week jail stint. Katie has been back in the UK but returned this week to spend time with her new husband amid speculation of relocating there permanently in the near future.
Family Concern and Allegations
The rapid pace of Katie's recent personal developments has not sat well with everyone close to her. Some family members and friends have expressed genuine concern about her well-being, both emotionally and physically, as well as the speed of her new relationship and move abroad. It's thought many of those closest to Katie were blindsided by the wedding, as her weight sparked major concern among fans.
Katie's family are also said to be concerned about Lee's intentions, with allegations that he has faked his business accomplishments and photos with AI, appeared on an escort site, and has a colourful history with women. Several of his ex-partners have made a slew of bombshell accusations against him and issued public warnings to Katie, urging her to "run for the hills".
As Katie Price continues her fertility journey, the combination of pregnancy hints from her new husband, ongoing health issues, and family worries paints a complex picture of her current life, leaving fans and loved ones anxiously watching for further developments.
