Former glamour model Katie Price has publicly addressed swirling speculation about the state of her relationship with Married at First Sight star JJ Slater. The 47-year-old star, who has been dating the 32-year-old reality TV personality since late 2023, appeared to silence split rumours with a telling family photograph on Boxing Day.
Boxing Day Snaps Put Rumours to Rest
In a move that directly countered online gossip, Katie was pictured beaming alongside JJ Slater's family on 26 December. The image, obtained by The Sun, shows the mother-of-five wearing a cosy cream beanie and smiling broadly while surrounded by her partner's nearest and dearest. This public display comes after a year in which the couple's stability has been repeatedly questioned, largely due to Katie's well-documented turbulent romantic history.
Despite the show of unity, Katie revealed in August that she and JJ still maintain separate homes after two years together. On her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she explained to her sister Sophie that she is designing her own house independently. "People have to realise JJ owns his own house and he owns his flat," she stated, adding that he has a "good eye" for design.
Future Plans and Past Heartbreak
The couple's bond has been forged through both joy and tragedy. Katie has openly expressed her desire to expand their family, admitting she feels "broody" and is determined to have a sixth child. She tragically suffered a miscarriage with JJ, having discovered she was pregnant on Boxing Day last year. The star, who has undergone IVF treatment, remains adamant about having a baby with her current partner.
Their relationship began following Katie's split from ex-fiancé Carl Woods. JJ Slater rose to fame on the 2023 series of E4's Married at First Sight UK, where he was initially paired with Bianca Petronzi before pursuing a connection with co-star Ella Morgan.
Family Rifts and Festive Reconciliations
While her romance with JJ seems strong, Katie's festive season was threatened by a reported rift with her eldest daughter, 18-year-old Princess. The tension arose after Princess did not feature Katie in her new reality series, The Princes Diaries, while including her father Peter Andre and his wife, Emily MacDonagh.
Katie admitted to feeling "upset" and "unwelcome" due to the snub. According to sources, Peter and Emily subsequently chose to step back from the show to avoid further "drama" and prevent Princess from feeling caught between her parents. Thankfully, the mother and daughter managed to reconcile, sharing a "one-off" photo together over the Christmas period.
Through the whirlwind of public scrutiny, family dynamics, and personal hopes, Katie Price continues to navigate her life in the spotlight, using moments like a simple Boxing Day photograph to communicate her truth directly to the world.
