Katie Price has opened up about her reason to purchase three reborn dolls.The 46-year-old reality star puzzled fans in October when she posted a photo of what seemed to be two newborns, with their faces hidden.
Earlier this month, she offered more insight, and revealed she had three life-like dolls, two of which are twins. Amid her fertility struggles, as documented in her show Making Babies, Katie said she has found comfort in the dolls.
She shared: "I haven't got twins, I've got triplets. I don't know how it happened, I think I was looking for real life babies at the time." Referring back to the website she purchased them from, Katie began reading out the benefits of having a life-like doll. "They help with people with social anxiety, communication difficulties, those who have suffering grief from a loss of a baby, PTSD, infertility, anxiety and depression," she read. "Furthermore, it has been proven to have therapeutic benefits, particularly for people with dementia, where the doll can spark memories of their own children." Katie admits that while many may think adults having a reborn doll is "mad", it has helped her with her own feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety amid her struggles. "So, it is a serious thing," she added. "I never spoke about it, but when I got them, I took a risk of 'Do I post it or not?', because it's not a gimmick thing." Katie, already a mum to five children; Harvey, 22, Junior, 19, Princess, 17, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 11, refuses to give up on having another baby despite her fertility challenges.
