The former glamour model revealed that her mum has been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Katie Price has shared a heartfelt Mother’s Day message for her terminally ill mum, after previously leaving her “upset” amid a whirlwind romance and wedding.
Currently in hospital, the former glamour model’s mother was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a terminal lung disease, in 2017.
Joining other celebrities celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday, Katie Price shared a clip of herself with her mum, Amy, on her Instagram Stories.
She wrote:
“Mum, I adore you.
You mean so much to me—I’d be lost without you.
There are no words to describe how much I love you. Keep strong, keep fighting. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!”
The mother-of-five tied the knot with businessman Lee Andrews at the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel in Dubai in January, followed by a second, legal ceremony in February—much to the surprise and concern of fans and her family.
The couple exchanged vows in the hotel’s lush gardens just two days after announcing their engagement, which had taken place at another luxurious Dubai property, the Burj Al Arab.
In a new episode of her podcast last week, Katie Price revealed that her mum is currently in hospital and said they are back on speaking terms.
Reflecting on the visit, Katie said: “I gave her a big hug. I went to mum and she cried like that.”
Her sister Sophie appeared to explain her mum’s reaction: “You’ve traumatized us all again.”
This wedding marks Katie’s fourth marriage.
Later, Katie dismissed her family’s concerns, saying she’s not a child and that “my life isn’t normal,” so they had to “let me be me.”
