TV star Katie, 42, spoke to GMB hosts Susanna Reid and Adil Ray about their whirlwind romance after they met in an Essex restaurant last summer.
They got engaged on holiday in Turkey within months of dating, but only revealed the news earlier this year.
Mum-of-five Katie previously told The Sun she was keen to fall pregnant and said today that lockdown presented the perfect opportunity to try.
She said: "We are trying!
"When you’re in lockdown, everyone knows, you live and breathe each other 24/7."

And former Love Island star Carl, 32, added: "I’d love children of my own.
"Before this I swore blind I’d never date a girl that had kids. I jumped in with five. They’re all good kids."
Remarking on how many kids he wants with Katie, he said "one or two."
Loved-up Katie and Carl melted viewers' hearts when he told Katie how "beautiful" she looked in front of Susanna and Adil despite not having time to do her hair or make-up because they were running late for the show.

But GMB host Susanna, 50, also wanted to delve into Katie's life prior to meeting Carl and quizzed her on why this relationship is different to her past ones, which included three marriages to exes Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler.
Answering Susanna, Katie reflected on her time in rehab following her breakdown in 2019.
She said: "I tell you what it is. Last year before I went into The Priory I was in there for five weeks and everything caught up with me. Media, life, I wasn't myself.
"It was about a year and a half ago now just before lockdown. I was in a bad way and I knew I had to get help mentally, I couldn't focus on anything. It literally changed my life. I came out a different person, in control, I realised I am a human I am not a product.
"I pick and choose what work I do now. If I met Carl before it wouldn't have worked. He's strict, he keeps me in line, I've turned mature, back to the woman I was. I don't drink, I don't party, I don't do anything now."

At that point Carl interrupted and said: "I'd like to think I have something to do with that."
Holding her hand, her besotted partner said: "When I first met her I felt she was quite fragile still. Not to be nurtured but to be calmed down."
He then recalled the moment he clapped eyes on his teenage "pin up" but didn't realise it was actually Katie Price.
He said: "I saw her in a restaurant in January last year but didn't recognise her.

"It was then I thought 'she's a good looking girl'.
"Then I badgered the owner for months to introduce us, saying let me know when she's in.
"He wrang me he said 'she's here' and I said, I'll be there 40 minutes."

Carl also defended Katie getting engaged for the eighth time saying everyone thinks they're with "the one" when they're together.
He explained: "You cannot avoid being in the public eye with this woman. The only thing I would say is has not everyone in this country said that about previous partners, when you're in that relationship you're in and you say those (loved up) things.
He later: "This Katie, this one that everyone sees now, she is the ideal woman for me. So (getting engaged) was on the cards, and I'm quite impatient."
