Katie Price stuns fans as she becomes engaged for the ninth time at 46 after a lavish Dubai proposal just days after splitting from JJ Slater — who was left deeply shocked by the news

JJ Slater is left deeply shocked as Katie Price becomes engaged for the ninth time at 46, following a lavish Dubai proposal just days after their split

Katie Price has left fans stunned after revealing she is engaged for the ninth time, announcing that entrepreneur Lee Andrews popped the question during a lavish break in Dubai — just days after news emerged of her split from JJ Slater.

The former glamour model, 46, showed off a giant diamond ring on Instagram on Friday, sharing a flurry of loved-up snaps from the Middle East. The proposal was nothing short of extravagant, with a sea of red roses spelling out “Will you marry me?”, followed by champagne, strawberries and chocolate cake.

Katie also revealed her new fiancé had already had her name tattooed on his hand, a bold gesture that raised eyebrows among fans given how quickly the romance appears to have moved.

The shock engagement is said to have blindsided JJ Slater. Sources close to the MAFS UK star claim he was left deeply shocked and devastated by the news, struggling to come to terms with how swiftly Katie moved on. Friends say JJ is heartbroken that she ended their relationship only to become engaged days later to a wealthier new partner, leaving him feeling discarded and blindsided by the speed of events. JJ is currently in Miami, where insiders say he has been trying to “heal his broken heart”.

The Dubai getaway came despite Katie’s ongoing financial woes, after she was declared bankrupt in 2024. Yet the mother-of-five appeared keen to live in the moment, even sharing a snap of the iconic Burj Al Arab, alongside a caption claiming her “Richard Gere-style man swept her off her feet” and adding: “Manifesting does work.”

Katie has now been engaged nine times and married three times — to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler — while a string of other engagements never made it down the aisle. Her latest announcement also coincided with the release of Peter Andre’s new single Rock You Right, a timing fans were quick to point out.

The whirlwind engagement comes amid mounting concern over Katie’s health after she recently sparked alarm with her dramatic weight loss. She has openly admitted she looks “gaunt” and confirmed she is undergoing blood tests to determine the cause, insisting she eats normally and desperately wants to put weight back on.

Despite the controversy, Katie appears determined to focus on her fairytale moment — a diamond ring, Dubai sunshine and a brand-new fiancé — even as questions swirl over how long this latest chapter will last.
