Katie Price has called time on her relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater, bringing their almost two-year romance to an end, according to exclusive reports.
The End of a Whirlwind Romance
The former glamour model, 47, decided to end the relationship after concluding she could not envision a long-term future with Slater, who is 32 years old and rose to fame on E4's Married At First Sight UK. The pair had been dating since February 2024, following Price's split from her former fiancé Carl Woods.
Insiders close to the situation revealed that cracks in their partnership had become increasingly difficult to overlook in recent months. This was despite public assertions from Price that their bond remained strong. The source of the rift appears to have been a fundamental difference in their outlook on marriage and commitment.
Doubts Over 'Husband Material'
A source explained that Price had harboured reservations for some time about whether Slater was ultimately 'husband material', hoping these doubts would diminish. Instead, her concerns intensified, leading her to accept that the relationship would not culminate in a fourth walk down the aisle.
"Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade," the insider stated. "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."
The breakup means Slater will not become husband number four for the mother-of-five, who had even previously spoken about the possibility of them having a child together.
Slater's Disappointment and Aftermath
The decision has reportedly left JJ Slater, a fashion entrepreneur, disappointed. He is said to have genuinely seen a future with Price and has since packed his bags and returned to his home in Essex.
"He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook," the source added.
The couple's relationship was a whirlwind, featuring high-profile trips such as a skiing holiday to Bulgaria, where Slater had openly discussed the prospect of marriage. Slater had initially gained public attention on the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK, where he made headlines for dating transgender bride Ella Morgan despite being paired with another contestant during the experiment.
The Daily Mail has approached representatives for both Katie Price and JJ Slater for comment.
