Katie Price's whirlwind romance with reality star JJ Slater has dramatically ended after she issued a final ultimatum over marriage, The Mirror can exclusively reveal. The former glamour model, 46, reportedly grew "frustrated" with Slater's reluctance to commit to a wedding, leading to a decisive split.
The 'All or Nothing' Demand
A source close to the situation explained the breakdown. "This has been on the cards for a long time," they said. "Katie was pushing for marriage and security but JJ had checked out. The age gap didn't matter at the start but the cracks started to appear."
The insider highlighted that Price's urgency for another baby and a formal wedding placed immense pressure on the Married At First Sight UK star. "In the end she was like, 'Right, you either marry me, or you don't. It was all or nothing,'" the source revealed. "JJ wasn't up for all the drama that comes with being with Katie Price and he got cold feet."
Podcast Hints and Family Concerns
Just hours before news of the separation broke, Katie made telling comments on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, heavily hinting she was single. She reflected on her past need for a partner, stating: "Years ago, I was always afraid of being on my own... How I am now, I always say, I don't need a man. If I want a man, it's because I want them."
However, the source believes the mum-of-five will quickly seek a new relationship, causing concern among her family. "Katie always says the same thing but it'll last three seconds - she'll be throwing herself back into another relationship," they claimed. "Her family are concerned that she'll get into another relationship and put the pressure on again like she did with JJ."
On-Again, Off-Again Rumours
The couple's relationship had been plagued by split rumours for months. In December, Katie was forced to publicly deny break-up claims, posing for a Boxing Day photo with JJ's family. Furthermore, in August, she admitted on her podcast that after two years of dating, they still did not live together, with JJ maintaining his own property.
This pattern continued just one month prior to the current reports, when a source told Closer magazine that the pair had parted and Katie was "moving on with 'loads of guys' filling up her inbox." Those claims were denied by Price's representative at the time.
Katie Price began dating JJ Slater soon after her split from former fiancé Carl Woods. The couple's relationship was frequently in the public eye, with their future plans a constant topic of speculation.
