The former glamour model, 41, wanted to take Bunny, Jett and Princess away on holiday to Thailand, but dads Kieran and Pete were not keen on the kids missing school for so long.
Friends of the dads have claimed they were worried they wouldn't be back in time for the 2020 school term, which is set to begin next week.
A source told The Sun : "Katie is desperate for a holiday and has given herself the first two weeks off work to go away and get a tan."
The trip comes days after the kids have been living it up at their dad's house over the Christmas holidays in a break away from their mum.
Katie admitted it was difficult not being able to have all of her children surrounding her at Xmas.
This year the mother-of-five only had one of her children - Harvey Price, 18 - at home while the other four stayed with their dads.
