Katie Price has opened up about her three new additions to the family - in the form of reborn dolls. Back in October, the 46-year-old confused fans by sharing a picture of what appeared to be two newborn babies, with their faces not shown. Earlier this month, she gave her followers a further insight and revealed she had twin life-like dolls, alongside a third. Katie says she has found comfort in the dolls amid fertility struggles for more children, as seen in her show Making Babies. The reality star claims that while many may think adults with reborn dolls are "mad", there's a deeper reason to having them.
She explained: "I haven't got twins, I've got triplets. I don't know how it happened, I think I was looking for real life babies at the time. "And I found this company that do babies for this reason," Katie added, before going on to read out the website's description on how their dolls can help in many ways. "They help with people with social anxiety, communication difficulties, those who have suffering grief from a loss of a baby, PTSD, infertility, anxiety and depression," she read.
"Furthermore, it has been proven to have therapeutic benefits, particularly for people with dementia, where the doll can spark memories of their own children.". Katie says knowing she can't naturally conceive has been a "lonely" time, which has also sparked depression and anxiety in the past. "So, it is a serious thing," she continued. "I never spoke about it, but when I got them, I took a risk of 'Do I post it or not?', because it's not a gimmick thing.".
Katie, already a mum to five children; Harvey, 22, Junior, 19, Princess, 17, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 11, says despite her fertility struggles, she isn't giving up on having more children. "I can still carry a baby, I can still try one of my one per cent eggs or surrogacy, there's lots of ways," she added on her The Katie Price show podcast. Anyone in my position, you don't need to give up, there are ways, I still want kids and I'm not giving up.".
The mother-of-five gave fans an insight into her fertility struggles and IVF journey with her ex Carl Woods, in Channel 4's Making Babies. Determined to defy the odds, she was seen having multiple hormone injections, blood tests, and scans as well as a surgical operation to retrieve eggs. The reality star has since revealed she's had three failed attempts of IVF, but is now keen to explore more options with her current partner, Married At First Sight star, JJ Slater.
