Katie Price and Carl Woods’ split caught on camera in new IVF doc – as star reveals ‘real reason’ behind break up
KATIE Price and Carl Woods’ heartbreaking split has been caught on camera for their new IVF documentary.
The former couple filmed their treatment as they tried for a first baby together in the summer of 2023 - but months later they broke up.
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.
But their relationship came to an end as Carl said in the episode: “sometimes loving somebody is just not enough.”
Katie said: “We've gone through all this IVF, we've had a failed IVF, and then he can just drop me like that. [clicks] 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 then tells the camera: “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 a 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.”
Katie goes on to say: “It's so crap that I still have to take these IVF tablets, because 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.”

Carl adds: “I've never wanted it to go this way. An IVF journey is hard anyway, really difficult with the drugs and the mood swings. It's been absolute hell. I've sat at the end of the bed and cried to her. I have done everything I can do, and only last thing is to walk away.”
Katie then addressed the moving situation, saying: “He says, Oh, you keep giving me broken promises you'll move, your move. And I'm like, but I genuinely will move, but I can't at the minute.”
Then Carl says: “She's a wonderful mum. She's got five beautiful kids, and she does very well.
“I even had Harvey messaging me. He drew me a picture here. Best mommy's boyfriend. daddy Carl woods, best daddy in the world. That's hard mate. That is, it's been three years with a boy. Heartbreaking. That is.”
Katie says all Carl has to worry about is himself and his dog, as she tells the camera: “What I have to worry about is five kids running a big house, the dogs, schools, work.

Mum-of-five Katie has already said she has no interest in watching it and revisiting a difficult time in her life.
And in hindsight, Carl believes they shouldn't have even started the process of trying for a baby.
He recalls how he returned from visits to the clinic questioning what they were doing.
"You know, it wasn't a good period of time," he says. "We wasn't right for each other and we shouldn't have been filming an IVF doc, because IVF and having children puts strain on a relationship and when you're relationship is not good already, I mean, I think Kate would agree with me, we was in no position to be doing that and we shouldn't have done it.
"But we did, you know, we went through it and I dare say you'll see some ups and downs. I dare say you'll see some cracks appear.
"During filming I knew that it was wrong, so it was an uncomfortable time from my point of view.

"We'd filmed the day and I'd think, 'you know what, we shouldn't be doing this', but we was in the contract, it was happening and that's life."
Neither Katie or Carl have profited from the production, instead the budget was spent funding the treatment.
