CARL Woods has revealed the heartbreaking message he received from Katie Price’s son Harvey after their explosive split.
The couple, who were together for three years before their 2023 separation, had been navigating the challenges of IVF in hopes of having a baby together.
However, their journey came to an abrupt end, as highlighted in Katie’s new Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price: Making Babies, which aired last night.
Katie shared her pain during the programme, explaining how the split blindsided her.
She told the camera: “We’ve gone through all this IVF, we’ve had a failed IVF, and then he can just drop me like that. Just drop me like that.
“Don’t care about my feelings. Don’t care about the fact that in my head I thought we were having a donor egg going in me. For him to now decide, ‘Nah, I’m just gonna block her.'”
Carl admitted the decision to end their relationship was the hardest one he has ever made.
While acknowledging Katie’s feelings, he revealed his own struggles with the instability in their lives, saying: “It’s the hardest decision of my life to make, like to tap out on it. She will just think that I’m out of order: ‘He’s left me when we were having a child.’
“It’s not about that at all. What it is about, it is about having stability in my life. Kids need a stable home, and there’s no sign of it changing. I don’t have the fight left in me. I’ve fought for three years.”
Carl became emotional as he described receiving a heartfelt message from Harvey, 22, Katie’s eldest son, who has autism and Prader-Willi syndrome.
Harvey, whose dad is footballer Dwight Yorke, had drawn Carl a picture, writing: “Best mommy’s boyfriend. Daddy Carl Woods, best daddy in the world.”
Reflecting on the moment, Carl said: “That’s hard, mate. That is. It’s been three years with that boy. Heartbreaking, that is.”

She said: “It’s so crap that I still have to take these IVF tablets. They said I couldn’t stop it last week, because if I do, it will mess my periods up, and I might not come on for months. But yeah, I’m not with Carl. I would have loved to have a baby with Carl, would have loved to live with him. I would love to have had a happy ending with him.”
Carl acknowledged Katie’s responsibilities as a mother of five and praised her efforts, saying: “She’s a wonderful mum. She’s got five beautiful kids, and she does very well.”
Katie, in turn, expressed her frustrations over Carl’s criticism of her circumstances.
She fumed: “All he ever has to worry about in life is him and his dog. What I have to worry about is five kids, running a big house, the dogs, schools, work.”
Despite their hopes for a future together, Carl admitted that love wasn’t enough to overcome their difficulties.
He concluded: “It’s just a s**t situation, but sometimes loving somebody is just not enough.”
The IVF treatment followed a turbulent period in which Carl discovered Katie had cheated on him with former international polo star Jamie Morrison and traded sexy messages with an England footballer.
Mum-of-five Katie has already said she has no interest in watching the show and revisiting a difficult time in her life.
Neither Katie or Carl have profited from the production – instead the budget was spent funding her treatment.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Carl said of the Channel 4 programme: “My thoughts are that it’s old news, everybody’s moved on.
“I can’t see the point in it airing.”
He continues: “I’m sure she’s glad she’s got the clean break. You know, we don’t have any ties.
“Everything happens for a reason. God was looking down on me and Kate and said, ‘no, you’re not matched to be parents, let’s not make this work. You go that way, I’ll go this way. So it worked out well.”
