Katie Price has announced her ninth engagement to a mystery man following a lavish proposal in Dubai, mere weeks after confirming her split from JJ Slater. The former glamour model took to Instagram to share a series of images showcasing a massive diamond ring and romantic gestures, sparking widespread speculation about her new partner.
Dubai Proposal and Social Media Revelations
Price was in Dubai when she received the proposal, posting snaps from a hotel hot tub where rose petals spelled out "Will you marry me? Katie." In another image, she displayed her hand near a glass of champagne, highlighting the enormous diamond ring. She also shared a picture of her hand resting on another hand freshly tattooed with her name, adding to the intrigue.
Additionally, Price posted a photo of the iconic Burj Al Arab with an emoji of a ring and the caption, "My Richard Gear swept me off my feet, manifesting does work." Despite these posts, she has not disclosed the identity of her mystery fiancé, leaving fans and media guessing about her latest romantic chapter.
Katie Price's Extensive Relationship History
This engagement marks Price's ninth, following previous proposals from Carl Woods, Kris Boyson, Kieran Hayler, Leandro Penna, Alex Reid, Peter Andre, Scott Sullivan, and Warren 'Ace' Furman. Her marital history includes marrying Peter Andre in 2005, with a divorce in 2009, and Alex Reid in 2010, ending in March 2012. She later married Kieran Hayler in 2013, divorcing in 2018 after multiple attempts to salvage the relationship.
Price was engaged to Kris Boyson, but they split just a month later, highlighting the turbulent nature of her love life over the years.
Recent Split from JJ Slater
The news comes shortly after Price confirmed her breakup with JJ Slater, whom she had been with since late 2023. Rumours of their split circulated as they hadn't been pictured together on social media for six months prior to Christmas. In January 2026, on her podcast, Price revealed that the relationship had ended "over months" before the holiday season.
She explained, "I don't wanna waste my time. You know, if I'm not loved up and it's not going, these are mistakes I've made in the past. You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty. Yeah. And I don't want that. So I'd rather have nipped it in the bud sooner rather than later."
Contrary to reports, Price dispelled myths that the split was due to ultimatums about marriage or having a baby, stating, "There was no ultimatum. I think they said because I wouldn't marry him or have a baby, that is a load of rubbish. And, if I'm honest, I love the guy but I'm not in love with him and what's the point in carrying on the relationship?"
Insights on Intimacy and Moving Forward
Prior to confirming the split, Price shared cryptic posts online about "real intimacy," writing, "Real intimacy isn’t built in bedrooms but in conversations where your raw thoughts, fears, and truths are met with love patience, and a desire to understand." This reflection adds depth to her recent engagement announcement, suggesting a focus on emotional connection in her new relationship.
Price's engagement to the mystery man follows her split from ex-fiancé Carl Woods, with reports indicating she first reached out to JJ Slater after his appearance on an E4 show, though he had messaged her years earlier complimenting her looks. As she embarks on this ninth engagement, fans are left wondering about the future of her latest romantic venture.
