Katie Price has settled rumours she has split from her boyfriend JJ Slater after fans thought they had spotted a clue. The former glamour model, 46, has been loved up with the Married At First Sight UK star for over a year.
He has joined her at showbiz events and is often featured on her social media. Katie introduced JJ to her family, as she also joined the reality TV star for meals with his nearest and dearest.
Just last month, the mum-of-five gushed that JJ had been a hit with the whole family as she said: “He’s very much part of the furniture. I feel that if me and JJ were ever not together, I’d upset the whole family.”
It was even revealed that her mum’s health struggles had spurred Katie on to want to marry again. She has had a very turbulent love life, which has included eight engagements and three divorces.

However, some fans noticed Katie hadn’t featured JJ on her Instagram in a while, sparking concern for the status of their romance. JJ has also not posted Katie in a while on his own account, with his last snap with her from 23 weeks ago. They also spent Christmas apart.
Amid the speculation, Katie’s representative has settled the rumours once and for all. They told the Mirror that the rumours are “not true” and that “nothing has been removed, they’re continuing as normal.”
On a recent episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, the TV star opened up on her romance with JJ and even labelled him as “The One”.
It wasn’t always easy, though, as the former Married at First Sight contestant got a rough ride from his future brother-in-law. Harry Brooks, who is married to Katie’s sister Sophie, greeted JJ’s arrival into the family group chat with three damning words: “What… another one?”
Yet, Katie is besotted with JJ and said he’s very different to any of her previous boyfriends. “We do have our ups and downs,” she admitted. ”Everyone does…I’m a busy person.”
“Healthiness [in a relationship] is being able to work, go out with your friends, no questioning. When I say no questioning,” Katie added. “You obviously want someone that cares, but I have felt there’s a massive shift and a massive difference in the relationship I’m in now, compared to all the other relationships I’ve been in. And so far, so good.”
She recently gave a very candid confession when asked what she looks for in a man, and revealed her friends even call her “gross”. Opening up on her love life, Katie said she wants a man “who has been around the block”.
Speaking on the Disruptors Podcast, Katie said: “I like to know they’ve been around the block. I’d rather a man know what they’re doing. If someone hadn’t had many, I wouldn’t really like that – isn’t that weird!”
Katie revealed she asks potential partners how many people they’ve slept with, claiming that a man “who’s been there and done it knows what they want”. She quipped: “Imagine if it’s like two or three girls, they don’t even know what they’re doing.”
However, not everyone agrees with Katie, as she said her friends call her “gross” as they question why she’d want a man “that’s been everywhere.”
