Katie Price has split from boyfriend JJ Slater after almost two years together, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The former glamour model, 47, ended the romance after realising she didn’t see a future with the former reality star, 14 years her junior.
Insiders say cracks in their relationship had become ‘too obvious to ignore’ in recent months, despite Katie insisting they were going strong.
The mother-of-five has now accepted their romance has run its course, and JJ, 32, will not become husband number four.
They began dating in February 2024, after JJ rose to fame on E4’s Married At First Sight UK.
Katie even spoke of having a child together, her sixth, but in the end, it wasn’t meant to be.
A source revealed: ‘Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade.
‘Instead, her fears only grew, and she’s now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.
‘JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and 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 Daily Mail has contacted Katie and JJ’s representatives for comment.
Katie began dating JJ in 2024, shortly after her split from former fiancé Carl Woods, her eighth engagement.
Fashion entrepreneur JJ had appeared on the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK, where he made headlines for dating transgender bride Ella Morgan despite marrying another contestant during the experiment.
The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance, including a skiing trip to Bulgaria, with JJ later talking up the prospect of marriage.
In April 2024, JJ broke his silence on his new relationship with Katie, admitting he wished it had been her he married when he appeared on the E4 dating series.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: ‘It would have been ideal on Married At First Sight if I was at the altar and I turned around and it was Kate walking down. It would have saved a lot of time.
‘We have said the L word. The thing is we get on so well and have so much fun together.
‘All I really want to do is make sure Kate is happy, support her, and be there for her, her being happy means I’m doing something right.
‘We are both adults and I wouldn’t be with someone if I didn’t see a future with them. So, that’s how I see it… we aren’t together to waste each other’s time… we are adults so of course, I see a future with her.’
Katie has been married three times, to singer Peter Andre, 52, with whom she shares children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, former cage fighter Alex Reid, 50, and personal trainer Kieran Hayler, 38, the father of her youngest two children, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 10.
She is also mother to son Harvey, 23, whom she shares with footballer Dwight Yorke, 54. Harvey has septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness and growth hormone deficiency, as well as Prader-Willi syndrome, ADHD and autism.
JJ supported Katie through a number of health scares in recent months, as fans voiced concern over her increasingly skinny and gaunt appearance and her continued fixation with cosmetic surgery.
Katie has spoken openly in recent months about her ‘unexplained’ weight loss, telling followers she has been undergoing medical investigations to determine the cause of her noticeably slimmer frame.
She has yet to reveal any diagnosis to fans – or whether one has been found at all.
However, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail ahead of Christmas, her son Junior Andre insisted his mother is coping well behind closed doors.
He said: ‘To be honest, people don’t know her like we know her. She is doing great, she’s so loving and we love her so much. I’m round her house all the time.’
Junior added that public scrutiny no longer affects their family, saying: ‘People will always say what they want, but they don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors.’
He concluded: ‘We’re all great and probably in the best place we’ve ever been.’
