Katie Price has revealed she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage after unexpectedly falling pregnant with her boyfriend JJ Slater.
The 46-year-old former glamour model fell pregnant over Christmas but learned earlier this month that she had lost the baby after having a scan.
The couple are said to be devastated by the loss, which comes after Katie had previously spoken about her hopes of having a sixth child.
A source told The Sun: "Kate and JJ are heartbroken - it's been an incredibly hard past few weeks, with emotions ranging from utter joy to complete devastation."
The couple had been processing their grief privately before deciding to share their story.
JJ, 31, who appeared on E4's Married At First Sight in 2023, began dating Katie after she contacted him on social media.

The charity is the largest in the UK that raises awareness for miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature births.
Katie's partnership with Tommy's aims to support other women who have experienced similar losses.

Her journey to motherhood has been marked by challenges, with two of her later pregnancies also filled with difficulties.
Despite these setbacks, Katie has been vocal about her desire to expand her family further.
She has explored various fertility options in recent years, including IVF treatment and even considering surrogacy.
Katie is already mother to five children from previous relationships.
Her eldest son Harvey, 22, who was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism and septo-optic dysplasia, is from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.
She shares Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with her first husband Peter Andre.

Her youngest children, Jett, 10, and Bunny, 9, are from her marriage to ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
Katie previously underwent IVF treatment with her former fiancé Carl Woods, which was documented in a Channel 4 series called Katie Price: Making Babies.
The couple had three unsuccessful rounds of IVF before splitting in 2023 during the filming of the documentary.
In the programme, Katie was devastated to learn that she had "less than one per cent" chance of falling pregnant using her own eggs.
Despite fertility challenges, Katie has remained determined to have more children.
Speaking on 'The Netmums Podcast' in November 2024, she said: "I don't want to be told by a doctor or something that I can't have more. I know I'm not done. If I could have two more kids, I would."
