Chatting with the publication on becoming a mother, the What A Wonderful World singer shared: ‘I wanted to have a baby from about the age of 26 and I had him when I was 38, so that’s a good 12 years of worrying.
‘There was a period of trying and that didn’t work out. I thought fertility was maybe an issue,’ candidly continued the musician.
Katie described Sandro as ‘the biggest sunshine’ in her life as she detailed settling into life as a mother.
Despite keeping the identity of her partner ferociously private, she has openly shared her joy at finding love with him again.
Admitting that she had doubts about finding someone else following her split from husband James, the new mother explained: ‘I thought maybe monogamy isn’t for everyone’.
But the pieces came together when she met her now-partner, with Katie sharing: ‘I slid into the best years and times of my life. He’s an incredible person, super down-to-earth and super relaxed and chilled. It’s been amazing.
‘It’s difficult to talk about it because you can sound really cringe but it has been magical and every day gets better and better. I wanted to capture the moment. First my uncertainty and then how very natural our love feels.’
Katie announced the birth of Sandro via Instagram in December, sharing a heart-warming post which included pictures of her son’s feet, and part of his face.

She wrote: ‘It’s been the greatest month. We’re now the parents to Sandro, the whole thing feels like a dream, never felt a love this strong.
‘But also the exhaustion is real! I’m so grateful to my partner, and have jaw dropping levels of respect for single parents. But the cuddles are something else. Kx’.
The singer was inundated with well wishes from her fans, with one writing: ‘It’s the greatest adventure! Congratulations and loads of love x’.
