Katie Price's fiance Carl Woods 'desperate' to have baby after she swerves prison

Carl Woods is desperate to have a baby with fiancée Katie Price after she swerved a prison sentence last week.

The lovebirds are currently enjoying a holiday to Thailand to celebrate Katie's freedom, and have previously been open about their desire to start a family. It was reported earlier this year that the pair were starting IVF treatment to try and improve their chances of getting pregnant, writes the Mirror.

Love Island star Carl, 33, and Katie, 44, have been together for around two years and are planning to wed sometime this year despite their sometimes rocky relationship. The two have had their share of challenges in recent months – including Katie's brushes with the law and Carl being charged with using threatening behaviour.

The Crown Prosecution Service recently dropped the charges against the reality star as there was "no realistic prospect of conviction and the case was stopped", which left Carl 'relieved'. After Katie avoided prison once again last week, 'natural father' Carl is said to have his sights set on expanding their brood.

A source has exclusively told the Mirror: "Carl really hopes to be a father in the near future. These last few years have been a really challenging period in all angles of Carl’s life, but at this very moment his biggest desire is to become a father."

Carl and Katie have shared their desires to have a baby of their own throughout their romance. It was reported in May that Katie is set to start IVF treatment as she's "desperate" to have a baby with Carl. And the Love Island star's determination to have a child with Katie is just as strong.

The insider added: "Carl is such a strong minded person and always tackles everything in his life head on and becoming a father is a challenge his eager to take on. He hopes to have a family of his own with Katie one day."

They added how Carl feels he would be a "great dad" and has had plenty of practice with Katie's children. Katie is already a mum to Harvey, 20, as well as son Junior, 17, 15-year-old Princess, whom she shares with ex Peter Andre. She also has son Jett, eight, and seven-year-old Bunny with her ex-husband Kieran Hayler.

"Carl wants children of his own," the source added. "He would be a great dad and would give his children everything they need and more. Carl is so good around children, he would be such a natural father," they said.

It comes after Katie was handed an 18-month community order and 170 hours of unpaid work after admitting to breaching a restraining order by sending abusive messages to her ex-husband Kieran Hayler about his fiancée Michelle Penticost.

Katie plead guilty to allegations she branded Michelle a “c***ing whore” and a “gutter s**g” in the text messages sent to her ex-husband in January this year. The model is banned from contacting Michelle directly or indirectly under the terms of the five year restraining order, which was imposed following an incident in a school playground in September 2018.
