Kerry Katona and Katie Price make huge 'baby pact' to show they're not 'too old'
Best pals and mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, are reportedly hoping to become pregnant together after sharing their desire to have a sixth child Mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, have made a "pact" to become pregnant together, according to reports. The best pals have both expressed their desire for another child, with Kerry telling her followers: "I know I'm 44, but I think I want another baby". Katie, 46, who was pregnant with Kerry in 2007 with their respective daughters, Princess and Heidi, has also said she would like to become a mum again and now it looks like the women are determined to welcome a sixth child into the world, which they allegedly believe "would make a great reality show". Speaking about their family plans, a source told Closer magazine: "Both Katie and Kerry have said they want another child so they've made a pact to be pregnant together, saying it would make a great reality show. Both want to show they are not getting old and see babies as the ultimate age-defying statement." Kerry, who has been single since November when she split with personal trainer, Ryan Mahony, told her followers she was willing to have another baby on her own if necessary. Taking to Instagram, she said: "I know I'm 44, but I want another baby. Don't have a fella - but done it all before. Why change now?" In response to her post, many of Kerry's fans told her she should now focus on herself and think carefully about making such a huge decision as one replied: "NO you don't" while another added: "You're blessed with the children you have. Plus they're all growing up and you're glowing up." Also uncertain whether the former face of Iceland has really thought about the practicalities of having a another baby, the source said: "Pals think Kerry is in love with the idea of having another baby, not the practicality of actually becoming a mum. They think she should wait for a grandchild. "But Kerry says before anything else she's a mother, it's her greatest achievement by far and she could give a child so much more stability now." Katie, meanwhile, has been very vocal about having another baby and has explored both IVF and egg donation as a result. Speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, the mum-of-five revealed that she bought donor eggs last year before meeting current boyfriend JJ Slater 32. Opening up about her plans, Katie revealed she was optimistic about the future despite being unsuccessful with IVF, sharing: "I had IVF and it failed because basically my eggs are too old. "I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1 percent chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it! I went through all of it and it didn't work. "So I have got donor eggs, I got them last year. You don't see the picture but they go on how I look, like the dark hair, the green eyes, Spanish... because I've got like Italian/Spanish in me." Saying she was happy to have a baby on her own before she met JJ, she also said she'd found a black sperm donor in the US, revealing: "And then because I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own, before I met JJ I was quite happy. I found a sperm donor from America, from black origin."

Strictly's Karen Hauer admits 'we belonged together' in marriage to co-star Kevin Clifton
The Strictly Come Dancing star was reflecting on her two failed marriages during an appearance on this week's episode of We Need To Talk with Paul C Brunson. Strictly Come Dancing sensation Karen Hauer has candidly spoken about her past marriage to fellow dancer Kevin Clifton, confessing "we belonged together". Karen, who made her debut on the BBC dance floor in 2012 and was initially paired with Westlife's Nicky Byrnes, found herself bowing out in week 10. However, she tasted greater success reaching the finals in 2014 and 2020 alongside celebrities Mark Wright and Jamie Laing. Beyond the glitterball spotlight, Karen's personal life garnered attention due to her high-profile union with fellow Strictly pro Kevin Clifton. The pair tied the knot in 2015 but went their separate ways in 2018. During this week's instalment of the podcast We Need To Talk, hosted by Paul C Brunson of Married at First Sight and Celebs Go Dating fame, Karen opened up about the dissolution of her marriage, reports the Manchester Evening News. In conversation with Paul, Karen divulged: "This one hurt because we belonged together. Do you know what I mean? It was like you wouldn't say each other's names without following the other person's name." She continued: "It was one of these that we're like, 'What? What?' We built stuff together. I felt that he distanced himself from me, but I was probably doing the same because I felt if he didn't want me then, okay, I'll retreat. I'll give you your space. It was one of those that we're both not talking about it. So, I'm like, do you want a divorce? Do you want to split up? I don't know what I want to do. "What do you want to do? Do you know what you want? I don't know what I want. Okay. So, do we are broken up or? So, it took a while actually. It took about a year behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, everything was normal." She further explained: "We fell apart and I obviously didn't know what was happening in his mind whether he wanted to be with me or not. I knew that I would have worked on it. I would have stayed but at the same time I couldn't be with someone who wasn't sure of whether they wanted to be with me or not. I couldn't just wait. "I waited for a while and I was giving him his space to think and then funny (sic) enough I met someone and you know we weren't together but we were together in the public eye." The dancer went on to describe how she was unfairly labelled a "cheater" as the public weren't aware that she and Kevin had parted ways. She clarified: "It wasn't someone that I dated or something, it just happened to be someone that I just saw a couple of times and I got snapped up. "And then all of a sudden I was just walking with this person and then all of a sudden, you know, I'm portrayed as someone that has cheated on him and then obviously he saw the pictures and was like what? So there was a big misunderstanding in all of that because I wasn't, actually I was literally waiting to be loved." Karen concluded by saying: "He had to do the right thing for himself" when discussing their divorce. Even after parting ways, the couple continued working together on Strictly. Karen expressed: "We respected one another, you know. We never said a bad word about one another, you know. I think that's because we hold each other to such a high regard, you know. There will always be love there. "So, we still danced together on the show and we were still working around each other. We would still applaud each other, support each other. We never lost that and that was what was really sad, that we could and transfer that onto our relationship." When questioned by Paul about how she felt regarding her second divorce, Karen confessed: "I felt shame. I felt embarrassed. that I couldn't keep anyone around me. And I had said to myself, 'No, I'm not. No, I'm not going to get into a relationship.' Uh-uh. No. Spend some time on your own. But I don't know how to be on my own. And that's so dangerous."
