Katie Price shares tribute on Harvey's birthday after major health concerns
Katie Price has gushed over her eldest son Harvey as he celebrates his birthday after previously opening up about his health and concerns about him being at risk of heart attacks
Katie Price has gushed over Harvey as he celebrates his 23rd birthday. The former model shares Harvey, who has become a social media star in his own right with former footballer Dwight Yorke – but he has had a strained relationship with his son over the course of his life.
Taking to social media, Katie celebrated Harvey's birthday by sharing a string of throwback snaps with him over the years as she honoured her eldest child. One image showed Katie, 47, cuddling Harvey as they relaxed in bed, as Harvey planted a kiss on his mother's cheek.
"Forever love with my son @officialmrharveyprice," Katie captioned her sweet post. Another image taken at the same time gave fans another angle of Katie and Harvey as they relaxed together.
Katie was seen wearing her pyjamas as Harvey lay shirtless next to his doting mother. "Bank holiday cuddles before lots of celebrations tomorrow," Katie added. Meanwhile, over on her Instagram Grid, Katie shared a throwback of herself and Harvey while sitting on the This Morning sofa in 2015.
"Can't believe Harvey's turning 23 tomorrow," she said as fans rushed to the comment section. RuPaul's Drag Race icon Baga Chipz gushed: "Happy Birthday Harvey." One fan penned: "Happy Birthday Katie to your beautiful boy! He's such a special lad so handsome so funny."
A second fan typed: "Harvey, many many happy birthday wishes! You are a young man, sweet, nice, handsome, with your aura you light up the lives of those around you, you are an incredible boy May God bless you always, Italy loves you. We are waiting for you together with mom Katie and your brothers We will all be happy to have you here with us!"
Another typed: "Happy Birthday Harvey, hope you have a great day tomorrow." Katie's sweet posts come after she opened up about her concerns for Harvey.
She previously disclosed that Harvey, who is blind, has a learning disability, as well as septo-optic dysplasia and Prader-Willi syndrome. Katie has also spoken openly about how Harvey is always hungry, which is a symptom of his condition.
At one point, Harvey weighed around 30 stone, leaving Katie fearing for the 23-year-old due to being at risk of a heart attack. Speaking candidly on The Katie Price Show, her podcast co-hosted with sister Sophie, the mum-of-five didn't hold back about the reality of their situation. "He's just under 30st and that's huge," Katie said.
"He's on the verge of a heart attack. He won't have a long life if he carries on putting more and more weight on." She explained that she was now working with medical professionals to help aid the situation.
She said: "That's obviously a massive worry for me, but we'e doing something about it with the doctors," explaining that he is waiting to begin Mounjaro, which is a type of medication to assist weight loss.
But Harvey's complex medical needs and existing prescriptions have made it difficult to move forward swiftly. "Because of his complex needs and medications he's on, things aren't as easy," Katie admitted.

Gemma said she'll no longer need to go to the NHS with an 'obesity related illness' thanks to the help of the medication. She revealed in January that she'd been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her incredible transformation. She told The Mirror: 'I've lost so much weight, you wouldn't believe it. It's the only thing I've managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet. 'I think I'm actually saving the NHS. I won't be going to the NHS with an obesity related illness so I won't be putting any strain on it. I'm loving life, honey.'

Meanwhile a source told The Mirror that while Gemma was poking fun at the situation she was in reality very concerned.

'She doesn't want to suddenly look older than she is, which is why she's sorting it and being honest about it. Gemma's always been really open and honest about her relationship with her body and she's been through some really horrible times with it, but that's all in her past now.' Before adding: 'The wrinkle tweakments are all part of her wanting to feel and look good. She knows there's no point losing all the weight and just being unhappy, so she'll happily make little changes to keep herself feeling her best'.

The former glamour model, 47, admitted her eldest daughter is "turning into" her now that she has her own money. Princess, 17, proudly revealed she has passed her driving test and showed off her white Audi A1 complete with a personalised number plate. The social media star flashed a huge smile as she stood next to the flashy vehicle and told her fans she had bought it herself. She was hit with claims her famous parents, Katie and Peter Andre, had chipped in yet insisted her hard work has paid off and that she was able to save up for the flashy motor herself. Buying the car wasn't the only treat Princess decided to have, however, as she also splashed out on a keyring. It wasn't just any old keyring, as Katie was left lost for words when she found out the price tag. Princess revealed to her mum that she had forked out almost £300 for the accessory. Katie gushed out Princess' achievement in passing her test before telling her sister about the splurge. "She's so excited, she ordered a b****y Louis Vuitton key ring for £290," she said on her podcast Houses, Horses and Harvey. Her sister Sophie was taken aback by the price as she quipped: "I went straight to Halford's and got an air freshener." Amid her shock, Katie joked that Princess was "turning into me". She revealed the teenager planned to have her "all sparkly pink" and said she would help Princess make it a reality. "She's a girl of my own heart," Katie confessed. Katie was keen to express her support to Princess on social media when she announced she had passed her test. She shared her daughter's post on her Instagram Story and wrote: "So proud and so scared at the same time my baby girl turns 18 next month too so lots of exciting things we will be doing together." Princess' step-mother Emily Andre, who has been married to her Peter since 2015, also shared her support as she left a series of flame and heart emojis, alongside the word: "Yay".

"Let's just say mummy and daddy brought your first car," one said and another posted: "Wish I had rich parents." After noticing the pattern, Princess took to the comment section of the post to hit back at those doubting her. She wrote: "These comments are so funny [laughing emojis]. "To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car."

Katie Price's daughter Princess Andre heartbroken as she splits from boyfriend
Princess Andre has been left with a broken heart as she has split from her boyfriend of two years, according to reports. The teenager, who will soon mark her 18th birthday, opted to keep her love life out of the public eye and never revealed her boyfriend's name. She first went public with her romance in June 2023. The daughter of Katie Prince and Peter Andre had only shared a number of photos with her beau while they were together. They appeared loved up in the social media snaps, with Princess revealing she kept him away from the spotlight to stop people "saying things". However, the pair have now parted ways. "She always kept the romance out the public eye and it will be the same with her split," a source told the Sun. "They just grew apart - they were each other's first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings. He's still on good terms with both Katie and Peter." They added that Princess is now focusing on her career and is not looking for a relationship. In 2023, Princess opened up about her relationship, as she said: "I just think being private is good, because I feel like when other people get involved they try and say a lot of things. 'Obviously, my boyfriend's not in the public eye so I don't think it's fair on him to have everyone trying to find out about his business and all of that. So, I mean, being private in general is how I like it, I don't think people should know all about my personal life." Her boyfriend quickly integrated with Princess' famous family, having first been spotted at Katie's 45th birthday bash. After posting snaps of herself and her boyfriend from the party, fans flocked to congratulate the teen. The influencer, who admits she has received "hate comments" in the past, didn't share any more snaps for months. However, after inviting fans to "ask me anything", one Instagram user asked: "How are u and ur boyfriend? x." Princess responded with a photo of the pair cuddled up to each other in the car and said: "We're really good ty", followed by two pink heart emojis. While the mystery boyfriend quickly got mum Katie's approval, it seemed dad Peter was harder to win over. Princess was jokingly told that he'd prefer it if she became a nun before she revealed her first boyfriend. The Mysterious Girl star admitted he struggled with the transition. Speaking about Pete's parenting approach, Princess told OK!: 'Obviously, my dad is going to be protective over his daughters. But now I'm older I kind of understand a bit more about what he's saying, so it's not really a problem. I'll always respect what my parents say." The Mirror has contacted Princess' representatives for comment.
