Mum-of-one Katie Radford sparks concern she and boyfriend Connor have SPLIT – just seven months after giving birth
KATIE Radford has sparked concern amongst fans that she and her boyfriend Connor Carter have split.
Today, the mum-of-one is celebrating exactly seven months since she gave birth to her “absolute dream baby”.
But the 22-year-old, who is a member of Britain’s Biggest Family and stars in the hit Channel 5 show 22 Kids & Counting alongside her partner, shared a brutal post about having “less people” in her life.
Posting on TikTok, the brunette, who found out she was pregnant after being with Connor for six years and gave birth on 8th October 2024 to her son Ronnie Hudson Carter, uploaded a snap of her sitting in her car.
Katie frowned and pouted for the selfie, whilst wearing a low-cut top and remarked on finding “more peace”.
Alongside the gorgeous snap, Katie revealed something that people often say to her, as she penned: “You don’t speak to anyone anymore.”
To this, Katie posted a breathtaking sunset snap from her recent family holiday, which saw Connor absent from all pictures.
The third eldest Radford daughter then confirmed: “Less people, less drama, less stress. More peace.”
She also added: “Honestly the best way.”
At the time of writing, Katie’s TikTok clip, which she shared to her official account @itskatiex02x, had been live for just 20 hours, but had quickly racked up 76,900 views, 2,061 likes and 28 comments.
Many of Katie’s fans agreed with her sentiment and flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: “This is so true.”
Another added: “Quality over quantity always!! Couldn’t relate more.”
A third commented: “You notice this more after having children.”
But at the same time, others worried whether this was a hint that Katie and Connor had separated.
Are you and Connor not together anymore?

One fan asked: “Sorry if a bit personal but have you and Connor split up?”
Whilst someone else wrote: “If you don’t mind me asking but are you and Connor still together as I didn’t see him on your holiday in Florida.”
Meanwhile, over on Katie’s Instagram page, the young mother shared a series of snaps of her son, whom she described as her “most handsome boy”.
But alongside the pictures, another eagle-eyed viewer questioned: “Are you and Connor not together anymore?”
The Radford family recently spent time in Florida, on an extravagant £52,000 family trip to celebrate Sue Radford’s 50th birthday.
The Lancashire-based brood had a sun-soaked extravaganza in the US and alongside the Radford youngsters, Millie was joined by her husband Harley Passmore.
Harley was seen in snaps shared on the family’s Instagram account, but Connor was nowhere to be seen.
“I’m scared” to be a “young dad”
Previously, on an episode of the family’s TV show, emotional scenes documented the moment then 21-year-old Connor found out he was going to become a father.
Clearly in disbelief, Connor admitted: “I didn’t think I’d ever be a young dad…scared.”
To this, Katie recognised: “It is a big change. I’m scared. I don’t think anyone’s ever ready for a kid.”
Connor then confessed: “I don’t really do well with change, I don’t like it. I’m still a kid, I’ve not grown up yet.
