Katie Price's Family Voices Alarm Over Sudden Baby Plans with New Husband
Katie Price has sent shockwaves through her inner circle by declaring her intention to have a baby with husband Lee Andrews, mere weeks after their whirlwind marriage. The 47-year-old former glamour model, who wed entrepreneur Andrews in January following a brief courtship, made the surprising revelation during a fiery social media exchange with his ex-partner, Alana Percival.
Family Left 'In the Dark' About Rapid Relationship Developments
Price's family members, particularly her sister Sophie, have been left deeply concerned and completely blindsided by the sudden pregnancy announcement. According to sources close to the family, the Instagram posts suggesting pregnancy were the first indication anyone had received about such plans.
'Everyone has been kept in the dark about this relationship from the very beginning,' a family insider revealed. 'Katie's sister will stand by her through anything, but they're rightfully concerned about announcing baby plans with someone she's only known for weeks. This feels extreme even for Katie.'
The source further explained that family members have no understanding of the couple's long-term intentions, including whether they plan to reside in the United Kingdom or Dubai, adding to their growing apprehension.
Social Media Firestorm and Podcast Suspension
Price's announcement came during an explicit rant directed at Andrews' ex-partner, Alana Percival, who had previously warned Price to stay away from what she described as 'vermin of a human.' In her response, Price declared herself 'the real feminine woman he deserves' and made the bombshell statement: 'Please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I'm having his child.'
Andrews seemingly corroborated the claims by posting 'Soon to be three' alongside a pregnancy emoji, further fueling speculation. Amidst this media storm, Price and her sister have indefinitely suspended their podcast, 'The Katie Price Show,' citing the overwhelming media attention surrounding these developments.
'With so much current media attention, it doesn't feel right to release an episode at this time,' read a statement from the podcast's official Instagram account. 'The podcast has always observed the headlines, not added to them.'
Background of Maternal Desires and Previous IVF Attempts
Price has been publicly open about her desire to expand her family, previously inviting television cameras to document her attempts to conceive through IVF treatments. In interviews, she has described herself as 'very maternal' and expressed willingness to have 'another two or three' children.
'If I could have another two or three, I'd be happy,' Price told the Daily Mail regarding potential family expansion. 'My eggs are too old. I'll get a donor egg,' she added, referencing unsuccessful IVF rounds documented in a Channel 4 series.
Family's Subtle Response and Ongoing Concerns
Following Price's inflammatory social media posts, her sister Sophie shared a video clip featuring physician Dr. Gabor Maté discussing family approaches during difficult times. The video's message stated: 'I'm not going to try and change you. I just hope you come to your senses at some point. But I'll be with you and I'll be supporting you.'
This subtle response came after the sisters canceled a podcast episode earlier this month following what was described as 'a hell of a week,' coinciding with reports of family tension and claims that loved ones had been 'blindsided' by the rapid romance with Andrews, whom many family members have never met.
Representatives for Katie Price declined to comment when contacted regarding these developments. The situation continues to unfold as family members remain concerned about the pace and nature of Price's relationship with her new husband and their sudden family planning announcements.
