Katie Price, the iconic former glamour model and reality TV star, continues to navigate her ambitious journey toward motherhood. She has revealed her unwavering desire to have a sixth child through IVF.
At 46, the mother of five has documented her attempts to conceive on her reality show, "Katie Price: Making Babies', which aired earlier this year.
Despite facing setbacks, including a miscarriage, Price's resolve remains firm as she explores alternative routes to expand her family.
In a recent appearance on Paul C Brunson's "We Need To Talk Podcast', Price opened up about her experiences and plans. "I had IVF and it failed because my eggs are too old," she candidly shared.
"I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1% chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it!"
Her determination shines through as she speaks about the steps she has taken to prepare for another child, including acquiring donor eggs last year.
Price has specific expectations for her future child, stating she hopes for one that resembles her, mentioning her dark hair and green eyes, tied to her Italian and Spanish heritage.
"You don't see the picture, but they go on how I look," she explained.
Moreover, she disclosed her proactive approach to motherhood, indicating that before her current relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater, she had already sourced a sperm donor from the United States.
"I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own," she asserted, showcasing her commitment to motherhood regardless of her current relationship status.
While Price has a high-profile partner, she mentioned an openness to co-parenting arrangements. If she finds "someone" willing to have a child with her, she remains flexible.
However, she remarked, 'I'd have to say to them, well, obviously you can never have my eggs, so you'll never have the Pricey DNA.'
With a well-defined plan in place, her candid remarks on the complexities of modern motherhood resonate strongly in this age of flexibility in family structures.
Although her dreams of another child are notable, Price clarified that she is in "no rush" to marry again.
Reflecting on past relationships, she said, 'I've been there so many times. It's not important to me; it's aggro when you divorce.'

Two UK men jailed for 'brazen' gold toilet heist
UK - Two men who smashed their way into an historic English property and ripped out a £4.5 million ($6 million) solid-gold toilet were on Friday jailed for their part in the theft. James Sheen, 40, and Michael Jones, 39, were jailed at Oxford Crown Court in central England for four years and 27 months respectively. The sentences came as it was revealed that Sheen is already serving 19 years in jail for a string of other offences including a museum burglary and attacks on cash machines. The fully functioning 18-carat artwork was stolen in a raid on an exhibition at Blenheim Palace - the birthplace of Winston Churchill - near central Oxford in September 2019. The toilet artwork dubbed "America" was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and had been on display as one of the star attractions at an exhibition in the 18th-century home. Passing sentence, Judge Ian Pringle said: "This bold and brazen heist took no more than five-and-a-half minutes to complete. "America has never been seen again." Weighing around 98 kilograms (216 pounds), the artwork was insured for $6 million and was made with 20 kilograms of gold valued at around £2.8 million. It was stolen just hours after a glamorous exhibition launch party by the sledgehammer-wielding thieves. Prosecutors said the work was likely broken up or melted down and sold soon after the theft. The gold has not been recovered. It is believed that Sheen took the 20 kilos of gold to the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter on September 2019 and sold it for £26,000 a kilogram - earning £520,000. Jurors heard earlier that Sheen first got in touch with a third man, Frederick Doe, two days after the raid to ask if he could help him sell some of the gold. Doe replied to Sheen in a WhatsApp message: "I do know just the man you need to see." The 37-year-old, described by a judge as a "foolish" middleman, escaped jail for his role in the heist. He was handed a suspended sentenced last month after being found guilty of conspiracy to transfer criminal property. Jones previously said he used the toilet at Blenheim Palace the day before it was taken. Asked what it was like, he told the court it was "splendid". Sheen admitted burglary and money laundering offences. Judge Pringle said his four-year jail term would be added to the 19 years he is already serving. Jones was found guilty of burglary after an earlier trial.

Unravelling the truth: Grace Van Patten to star in 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox'
"The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" stars Grace Van Patten. Image: Instagram True crime fans can prepare to delve into a harrowing chapter of legal mishaps and personal tragedy with the upcoming limited series, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox". Disney+ recently announced that the eight-episode journey, inspired by one of the most controversial criminal cases in recent history, will premiere on Wednesday, August 20. The gripping story will follow Amanda Knox, an American student wrongfully accused of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007 while they were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. Twenty-one-year-old Kercher's body was found in her bedroom, partly undressed and with multiple stab wounds. She had been sexually assaulted. The series chronicles Knox's unsettling odyssey - from being sentenced to 26 years in prison alongside her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito due to inadequate circumstantial evidence, to navigating the Italian judicial system. Grace Van Patten and Giuseppe De Domenico in "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox". Image: Instagram After a protracted battle, burdened by media scrutiny, false accusations, and personal tragedy, an Italian supreme court ultimately cleared Knox of all charges in 2015, leading to her exoneration. Grace Van Patten, popular for her role in "Tell Me Lies", stars as Knox. Van Patten's portrayal promises to capture Knox's experience, from her wrongful conviction to her difficult fight for exoneration. Sharon Horgan will portray Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, with John Hoogenakker as Knox's father, Curt. Francesco Acquaroli takes up the role of the Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, Giuseppe De Domenico will embody Raffaele Sollecito, Knox's then-boyfriend, while Roberta Mattei infuses the series with intensity as Monica Napoleoni, a fierce prosecutor's aide determined to see Knox and Sollecito convicted. "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" will premiere on Wednesday, August 20 on Disney+. Image: Instagram The case captivated global audiences, highlighting issues of media influence and the legal injustices faced by those wrongfully accused. In an exclusive interview with "Us Weekly", Knox expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to retell her story. 'It really comes down to this idea of do I have a voice and does my voice matter in how a story is told? That is what Hulu has recognised,' Knox remarked. Meanwhile, in another online report, Meredith Kercher's sister, Stephanie Kercher said Meredith's 'strength and love remains strong after 17 years' and that she 'will forever hold a lasting legacy in friendship and kindness that no media can change'. Stephanie said her family had been through a lot and found it 'difficult to understand' how the series served any purpose. 'Meredith will always be remembered for her own fight for life, and yet in her absence, her love and personality continues to shine ... We will forever feel this indescribable void but we live by Meredith's standards with dignity.'
