JJ Slater's Cryptic Social Media Post Follows Katie Price's Dubai Wedding
Reality television personality JJ Slater has made what appears to be a sly dig at his former partner, Katie Price, in the wake of her sudden marriage to businessman Lee Andrews. The development comes just days after Price confirmed her separation from Slater, with whom she had been in a relationship for several months.
A Whirlwind Romance and Secret Ceremony
Katie Price's romantic life has taken a dramatic turn in recent weeks. Earlier this month, she publicly announced the end of her relationship with JJ Slater, the Married At First Sight star. In a surprising twist, merely days after this revelation, Price shocked fans by announcing her engagement to Lee Andrews, a Dubai-based businessman.
The pace of events accelerated further when it was revealed that the couple had already married in a private ceremony in Dubai, with only an officiant present. Reports suggest that Price's family were unaware of both the engagement and the wedding plans, adding to the clandestine nature of the union.
Slater's Response and Moving On
Following the split, JJ Slater was said to have been "blindsided" by the news of Price's rapid engagement and subsequent marriage. Sources indicate he is currently in Miami with family, focusing on his wellbeing. Slater has since turned his attention to fitness, sharing a post about maintaining routine with a trainer.
Today, Slater took to social media with a seemingly pointed message. He shared a photograph of a sign outside a building in Florida that read, "Cheers to fresh starts and bright days," captioning it with a simple "amen" and a praying hands emoji. Many observers have interpreted this as a subtle reference to his recent breakup and a signal of his own forward momentum.
Insights into the Past Relationship
Insiders have shed light on the pressures that may have contributed to the couple's split. A source revealed that Katie Price was eager for marriage and security, desires which reportedly caused strain. "The age gap didn’t matter at the start but the cracks started to appear and her urgency for another baby and for a wedding put a lot of pressure on him," the source stated.
The source added that Price presented Slater with an ultimatum, leading him to experience "cold feet" over the prospect of a long-term commitment amidst the high-profile drama that often accompanies Price's life. Prior to her relationship with Slater, Price was involved with Carl Woods, but she has recently expressed a newfound confidence in being independent.
In a statement on her podcast regarding the split from Slater, Price explained her decision, saying, "I don't wanna waste my time... these are mistakes I've made in the past. You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty... I'd rather have nipped it in the bud sooner rather than later."
