Katie Price’s loyal army of fans could be forgiven for being more than a little confused after she shared a snap of two tiny tots and, declaring that her twins had “finally arrived“, insisted, “Yes, I do have twins.”
But after it was reported that the babies were reborn dolls – which can cost up to five figures – a source tells new about the heartache that lies behind 46-year-old Katie’s decision to become a “mum” to these dolls.
“She’s been through a lot of trauma in her life and she’s been at her happiest when she’s had her babies,” they said. “It’s her happy place and safe place, but the beauty of them not being real is she can just get on with her life as normal and they don’t keep her up all night.”
Katie has revealed in the past that she suffered a miscarriage during her marriage to Peter Andre, and again when she was in a relationship with Carl Woods. In her latest autobiography she addressed the latter, writing, “But having failed IVF and then having IVF only to miscarry is horrific.”
Earlier, in 2019, she told Loose Women that she’d had “more than” three miscarriages in her life, and because she was self- employed she “just had to get on with it, you just have to grieve on your own”.
Our source says these losses still weigh heavily on her.
