Reality TV star and media personality Katie Price has reportedly ended her relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater after nearly two years together. Sources close to the couple indicate the split was initiated by Price, who had begun to question the partnership's long-term viability.
The End of a Nearly Two-Year Romance
Insiders reveal the decision to part ways was primarily Katie's, stemming from growing doubts about their future. A central point of contention was said to be marriage, with friends of Price expressing the view that Slater was not "husband material." After giving the relationship time, Katie reportedly came to agree with this assessment.
The breakup appears decisive, with JJ Slater having already packed his bags and moved out of Katie Price's home. He is understood to have returned to Essex, signalling this is more than just a temporary separation.
Public Unity Versus Private Struggles
Despite the private turmoil, the couple had maintained a united front in public until very recently. They shared festive photographs together over the Christmas period and actively denied swirling split rumours as recently as last month.
However, those with knowledge of the situation confirm the relationship had been facing significant challenges behind the scenes for some time. Katie Price has not yet issued an official personal statement confirming the breakup, leaving the reports to circulate based on insider accounts.
A Telling Podcast Confession
In a poignant moment on the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the star reflected on her changing attitude towards relationships. While not mentioning JJ Slater by name, her comments now seem prophetic.
"Years ago, I was always afraid of being on my own. I always felt I needed someone," Price confessed. "How I am now, I always say, I don't need a man. If I want a man, it's because I want them. I don't need a man, whereas years before, I needed a man."
This marked shift in perspective underscores her current self-sufficient stance. Katie Price began dating JJ Slater—who found fame on the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK—soon after her previous split from Carl Woods.
