Katie Price has publicly confirmed the end of her two-year relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater, breaking her silence on swirling rumours of a split.
The Truth Behind the Breakup
Speaking candidly on the latest episode of The Katie Price Show with her sister Sophie, the 47-year-old media personality revealed the couple had secretly parted ways "months ago" before briefly attempting a reconciliation. The podcast episode, titled The Truth Behind The Split, saw Katie explain that their romance had felt off for a considerable time.
"Me and JJ, our relationship for months wasn't right," Katie stated. However, she was quick to praise her 32-year-old former partner, a star of Married At First Sight UK. "He's such a nice guy. I cannot fault him in any way possible," she insisted, dismissing tabloid claims that an ultimatum over marriage or children caused the rift.
"I Love Him But I'm Not In Love With Him"
Katie Price pinpointed the core reason for the separation, highlighting a shift in her feelings. "If I'm honest, I love the guy but I'm not in love with him," she confessed. "And what's the point in carrying on the relationship?"
She described the dynamic as having become more like a close friendship, noting that while her entire family adored JJ, she was the one in the romantic partnership. "In a relationship you wanna have everything and it just wasn't there for me," Katie added, providing a clear rationale for their decision to go their separate ways.
An Amicable End to the Romance
The split marks a notably civil conclusion compared to some of Katie's past high-profile relationships. She confirmed the pair initially broke up several months prior, but after discussing their feelings, they realised nothing had fundamentally changed.
"We actually split up a few months ago and then I said how I felt about it, obviously if it would change and it just never did," she recounted. Her comments come after a week of speculation ignited by cryptic remarks she made on a previous podcast about not needing a man, followed by a period of silence on social media.
