Katie Price, 45, is reportedly eager to have another baby, and it seems her new boyfriend John Joe "JJ" Slater, 30, might be the one to help her achieve this dream.

A source has divulged that Katie, who is already a mum of five, thinks it's "now or never" when it comes to welcoming another child into the world. The former glamour model is thought to see her new boyfriend as "young and virile" so is hopeful baby number six could be a possibility.

Katie and the Married at First Sight UK star aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet but the mum-of-five is already thinking about the future. "Katie really loves being a mum, and she loves the attention she gets when she's pregnant," a source close to Katie has claimed.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the insider went on to add: "She's seeing JJ now and he's young and virile, so she thinks this might be the last chance she has of fulfilling her baby dream. She knows it's now or never." This isn't surprising as Katie mentioned last summer that she "needed more babies". Just last week, she shared a photo on Instagram holding a friend's baby with the caption, "Natural mummy with my god daughter to be".

Earlier this month, Katie, who split from ex Carl Woods last year, clarified on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she and JJ aren't officially an item yet, saying, "A boyfriend is when you're 'boyfriend, girlfriend'." According to a source, JJ, famous for being a "family man" is happily spending time with Katie yet hesitant to become a father now. The source claimed: "He loves kids and he's a family man, but he's not thinking about starting a family any time soon," and "He'd like them when the time is right, but he knows that he rushed into marriage and he has no desire to rush into fatherhood."

Katie recently opened up about her difficult experiences with childbirth on her podcast. She shared a story about Harvey Price's birth, where doctors had to break her waters because she was more than two weeks overdue. "I remember looking at Mum and Sally [her best friend at the time] as if they were holding me down as a hostage because you know I can't bear anything like that. Oh my God, it hurt. I was looking at Mum like, 'Help me!'" Katie said.

She also talked about how hard it was when she couldn't hold Bunny right after she was born in August 2014. Despite these tough times, a source says Katie is determined to have another baby. "She didn't have easy pregnancies, and she's talked about struggling afterwards too, but this is the last chance saloon for her," they said.
