Katie Price and Carl Woods split and call off wedding amid ongoing court case
Katie Price and Carl Wood have split up and called off their engagement.
The glamour model, 43, and car salesman, 33, were set to marry this year and had been trying for a baby.
Several sources close to the couple said: “Katie and Carl have decided to split up. It’s been a difficult couple of months and their ongoing court cases have just added even more stress to the situation.
“It really seems to be over for now and they are both very sad about it. But of course no one would be surprised if they got back together.”
Carl proposed to Katie in April of last year just 10 months after they started dating and it marked the mum-of-five’s seventh engagement.
Fans feared the pair were on the rocks this week after all images of Katie disappeared from Carl’s Instagram account.
She later appeared without her huge diamond ring on Instagram, fuelling concern.
The split comes just days after Carl appeared in court accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour in a row with Katie.
Carl is set to face trial after pleading not guilty to using threatening and abusive behaviour.
He arrived at Colchester Magistrates’ Court holding hands with Katie, but later shared a cryptic post, saying: “This is what loyalty looks like”, alongside a picture of himself and his dog.
If found guilty, he could be sentenced to a maximum of six months in prison.
Prosecutor Leigh Hart told the court: “On the evening of the 22 August 2021 the defendant got into an argument with his partner at his home address.
“This resulted in his partner leaving his property to go to another property.
“The defendant followed her and attempted to force the door of that property and was heard shouting outside in the street which was overheard by neighbours.”
Defending Carl, Mark Davies told the court that the incident was “nothing more than a squabble”.
Carl was granted unconditional bail.
Romantic break
The court date came after the seemingly loved-up couple enjoyed a romantic getaway in South East Asia.
The pair have sparked rumours she's pregnant while they've been away, as Carl was spotted tenderly stroking her stomach as they relaxed by the swimming pool at their complex.
Katie is already mum to Harvey, 19, with former footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 16, and Princess, 14, with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven, with third husband Kieran Hayler.
Wedding and baby plans
Following her latest stint in rehab, Katie revealed plans to grow her brood and said she wanted a huge family with the Essex car salesman.
She declared in a statement to fans: "I've found the strength to turn my life around.
"With my weekly therapy and focusing on my future with Carl Woods and getting married.
"And having babies, and committed, back to being a woman in power."
Speaking at the beginning of last year, she said that all she wanted for 2021 was a husband and a baby with Carl, who appeared on ITV’s Love Island in 2016.
“I’m not getting any younger . . . I do look younger as I get older but you know what I mean,”
"It’s all happened really fast but I know Carl is the man for me. He’s The One and I couldn’t be happier — look at me!
“We’ve been trying.”
She also revealed the wedding would take place this year in the UK so her mum, Amy, would be able to join them.
