November 22nd 2024.
Katie Price, the well-known former glamour model, recently shared a heartwarming message from her eldest son, Harvey. In the message, Harvey expressed his sadness about not being able to spend the lead-up to Christmas with his mother. Harvey, now 22 years old, was welcomed into the world by Katie and her then-partner, retired footballer Dwight Yorke, in 2002. Harvey suffers from multiple health conditions, including blindness, Prader Willi Syndrome, autism, and septo-optic dysplasia, making him require constant care. As his primary caregiver, Katie has been there for Harvey throughout most of his life. However, in 2020, she announced that she was struggling to cope and had to make the difficult decision of enrolling Harvey in a boarding facility where he could receive specialized care.
Katie, who is also a mother to four other children, Junior and Princess with ex-husband Peter Andre, and Jett and Bunny with her now ex-husband Kieran Hayler, often speaks about the challenges of being away from her son. Her latest post on Instagram shows just how difficult it is for both of them. With over 2.7 million followers, Katie shared a screenshot of her conversation with Harvey, where he expressed how much he misses cuddling with his mom. In the messages, Harvey also sent a photo of them sharing a kiss, with a note saying "Merry Christmas" and a heart emoji.
It is still unclear how Katie will be spending Christmas this year and whether she will be able to celebrate with all of her children. This comes just a few months after Katie, Harvey, and her boyfriend, Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, jetted off to a sunny destination for a holiday. Katie shared pictures of Harvey having a great time in the pool, playing with his favorite Peppa Pig toys, and snuggling with his mom.
Despite living apart, Katie and Harvey remain incredibly close. In one of the videos she shared from their holiday, Katie wrote, "He makes me laugh," as Harvey made his cuddly toys kiss. While Katie is the sole caregiver for Harvey, she revealed in an interview that his father has only seen him a handful of times in his life. She has tried to reach out to him through Instagram, sending pictures of Harvey playing the piano, but he has chosen to ignore everything. However, Katie has always kept the door open for him and hopes that one day he will want to be a part of Harvey's life.
Katie is also a mother to daughter Princess and son Junior, whom she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre. When asked why she continues to keep the door open for Harvey's father despite his lack of interest, Katie explained that she believes any man can make a baby, but it takes a real man to be a dad. She also hopes that if he sees how amazing Harvey is, it will make him want to be a part of his life and prove him wrong. Initially, Dwight had denied being Harvey's father and even demanded a DNA test, which later proved his paternity.
