Katie Price invites Dwight Yorke to see their son every year on his birthday.
The 45-year-old former glamour model has raised her eldest child, 21-year-old Harvey, without any input from his biological father.
Harvey lives with a number of complex health conditions, including autism and Prader-Willi syndrome.
Despite former footballer Dwight, 51, not accepting the invites, doting mum Katie said she won’t give up hope that he will one day want to meet his son.
She told the Guardian: ‘The door is always open. I would love the day I see Dwight and Harvey in front of each other.
‘My mum still contacts his manager every year, and asks does he want to see Harvey for his birthday, and it’s always the same – no.’
Katie added to the outlet that she just wants Dwight to know how much he’s missing out on by not having Harvey in his life.
‘I just want Dwight to know what a gorgeous young man Harvey is,’ Katie explained.
‘Harvey has so much banter. He’s just a funny little b******. You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth.’
Back in 2002, Katie welcomed her son with the Trinidadian coach and football player following a short-lived romance.
The star also has Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, with third ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
Katie recently claimed that one of the last times she saw her ex was when she gave birth to Harvey.
Speaking on the most recent episode of her podcast, Katie slammed Dwight for being late to Harvey’s birth and refusing to cut the umbilical cord after he’d been delivered.
‘Dwight turned up at the last minute but he didn’t want to come in the room or cut the cord so dad did it, he cut the cord,’ she said.
‘And anyway I remember Dwight saying “oh there’s a bruise” and I thought “don’t insult me”.’
She went on to share that the bruise was a Mongolian blue spot, a type of birthmark which eventually fades.
Katie said their exchange marked the ‘last time I sort of saw Dwight,’ adding: ‘I didn’t see him many times after that.’
