Katie Price dumps boyfriend JJ Slater after ‘fears grew’ over relationship

Katie Price has reportedly split with boyfriend JJ Slater after problems in their relationship became ‘too obvious to ignore.’

The former glamour model, 47, and the Married At First Sight star, 32, began dating in 2024, regularly appearing at each other’s sides on red carpet events.

They had previously spoken about having children together, adding to Katie’s brood of five.

But an insider told the Daily Mail that the couple had called time on their romance in recent months after almost two years together.

The source told the publication: ‘Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade.

‘Instead, her fears only grew, and she’s now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.

‘JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and moved back to his home in Essex.

‘He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook.’

Katie and JJ began dating following the I’m A Celebrity star’s split from former fiancé Carl Woods.

She has been married three times previously – first, to Peter Andre, with whom she shares children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18.

They divorced in 2009, and Katie tied the knot with Alex Reid just a year later.

Alex and Katie then called time on their relationship in 2012, and she then wed her third husband, Kieran Hayler, in 2013.

They were together until 2021, welcoming children Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, during their time together.

Katie also has her eldest son, Harvey, 23, whom she shares with ex Dwight Yorke.

JJ appeared on MAFS UK in 2023 and went on to date the show’s first transgender bride, Ella Morgan.

Reports of Katie and JJ’s alleged split come shortly after she addressed rumours of a break-up last month.

Taking to her YouTube channel, the reality star documented her Christmas celebrations with her loved ones.

And despite being noticeably absent from each other’s social media profiles over the past few months, JJ made a prominent appearance in the festive vlog.

From behind the camera, Katie was asked: ‘Is it nice to be all together at Christmas?’

‘Love it. It’s nice that we’re all together here. Like, all of us,’ she said. ‘Considering how many people are here, it’s quite calm, isn’t it?’

She also spoke about split rumours on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, venting at the time: ‘I literally spoke to JJ two days ago about him coming to the Isle of Wight. I’m like, f**k off. Just because I have some things in my life private, it’s no one’s business.’
