Katie Price has confirmed the end of her relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater, revealing the pair spent New Year's Eve together just days before parting ways.
The Final Celebration Before the Split
The former glamour model, 47, shared a YouTube video on Saturday which showed her celebrating the start of 2025 with Slater, 32, and two of her children, Harvey, 23, and Princess, 18. However, insiders confirm the romance ended shortly after, concluding a partnership that began in February 2024.
According to reports, Price made the difficult decision to end the nearly two-year relationship after accepting she did not see a long-term future with the Married At First Sight UK star, who is fourteen years her junior. A source stated that cracks in their bond had become 'too obvious to ignore' in recent months, despite public assertions from Price that they were going strong.
Differing Visions for the Future
While the couple had even discussed the possibility of having a child together, which would have been Price's sixth, their outlooks ultimately diverged. 'Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material,' a source told the Daily Mail, adding that her fears only grew over time.
The insider revealed that Price has now accepted the relationship 'will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.' JJ Slater, who rose to fame on the 2023 series of E4's Married At First Sight UK, was said to be disappointed by the breakup and has since moved back 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.
Price's Relationship History and Future
Katie Price, who has been married three times to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler, recently spoke on her podcast about her changed perspective on relationships. 'How I am now, I always say, I don't need a man. If I want a man, it's because I want them,' she stated.
However, those close to her are sceptical of this proclamation. Another source suggested Price 'wants to find a husband and can't cope without being with a partner,' predicting she may soon be in a new relationship. The split follows a period where Slater supported Price through several health scares, which had prompted concern from fans about her appearance and cosmetic surgery procedures.
JJ Slater first found fame on reality TV, making headlines during his MAFS UK stint for dating transgender bride Ella Morgan despite being legally married to another contestant as part of the show's experiment.
