Carl Woods, the 35-year-old ex-fiancé of Katie Price, has erased his presence from social media platforms. This preemptive move comes just days before the airing of a Channel 4 documentary chronicling his and Price’s IVF journey. Woods has expressed strong disapproval of the documentary’s release, citing the significant time lapse since filming (nearly two years) and the termination of his relationship with Price. He feels no connection to the content and believes it shouldn’t be broadcast. Choosing to disconnect from social media is his way of distancing himself from the renewed attention the documentary will inevitably bring and avoiding being pulled back into a painful chapter of his life.
Woods has openly stated his disinterest in watching the documentary. He considers the failure of their IVF treatment a fortunate turn of events, given the instability of their relationship at the time. He doesn’t harbor any resentment and expresses relief that they didn’t become parents together, believing they weren’t compatible in that capacity. He sees the split as a clean break, devoid of lingering ties or regrets. He attributes the failed IVF attempt to a higher power intervening, suggesting they weren’t meant to be parents together.
The timing of the documentary’s release, 18 months after filming, has also perplexed Woods. He questions the relevance of broadcasting what he considers “old news.” While Price initially shared his sentiment about not watching the documentary, claiming it brought back painful memories, her stance appears to have shifted. She recently promoted the documentary on her Instagram, urging followers to tune in. In the promotional clip, Price reflects on her biological clock ticking despite her youthful demeanor, highlighting the urgency of her desire to have another child.
The documentary centers on Price’s struggle with her age and her yearning to expand her family. The IVF treatment, which was ultimately unsuccessful, underscores this desire. Price, a mother of five, is now in a relationship with JJ Slater. The documentary provides a glimpse into a difficult period in her life, a period she initially wished to avoid revisiting but now seems prepared to share with the public.
The contrasting reactions of Price and Woods to the documentary’s release highlight their differing perspectives on their shared past. Woods seeks to distance himself entirely, while Price, after initial reluctance, has embraced the opportunity to share her experience. This difference underscores the complex and often conflicting emotions surrounding infertility treatments and the emotional toll they take on individuals and relationships.
Price’s relationship history, marked by a series of high-profile romances and marriages, provides context for her desire to have another child. From her early engagements to Gladiators star Warren Furman and singer Dane Bowers to her marriages with Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler, with whom she shares children, Price’s personal life has consistently been in the public eye. Her subsequent relationships with Kris Boyson, Charles Drury, and Carl Woods further illustrate her pursuit of love and family. Her current relationship with JJ Slater marks the latest chapter in her ongoing journey.
