They’re somehow still together two years on, here’s everything JJ and Katie Price have been up to
Genuinely waiting for the engagement announcement
I won’t lie, when I first heard about Katie Price and MAFS UK star JJ Slater being an official couple, I assumed it would last a few months at best.
But here we are almost two years on and the pair seems to be in it for the long haul, with rumours of wedding bells on the horizon.
So, let’s have a look at everything the pair have been up to since they started seeing each other and what each of them have said about the relationship.
After months of rumours, Katie Price and MAFS UK star JJ confirmed their relationship together in February 2023. Katie reportedly messaged JJ after hearing about his diabetes diagnosis and their connection spiralled from there.
JJ previously explained in an interview: “We met for coffee and met as friends, and we got on really well as friends and it developed from there, which was really nice. There was no pressure, we both just really fancied and liked each other.”
And clearly both of them were besotted with each other from the get go, with Katie describing JJ as her “soulmate” just weeks into seeing each other. She recalled: “He came into my life when I least expected it, and I just know he’s the one.”
Katie has also explained how much it means to her that JJ is so involved in her family life, saying: “I love that JJ just fits into my world without any drama. My kids adore him and that means everything to me.”
However, not everything has been plain sailing for Katie Price and JJ as she admitted that she’s not her “happiest” whilst being with the MAFS UK star.
In a candid conversation with Paul Brunson on his podcast, she admitted: “I’ve never had that in any relationship. Never had any of them. I’ve never known what a healthy relationship is.”
She continued: “And JJ, he’s the most kind, genuine, easy-going, chilled person. But do I feel my happiest and do I feel free? No. It’s not a reflection on him, maybe that’s what I need to change for myself.”
However, it looks like despite some bumps in the road the two are genuinely happy together, with the pair clarifying: “We’ve been through so much already, and if we can handle this, we can handle anything.”
Katie Price and JJ have also received continuous backlash throughout their relationship over their 14 year age gap, something that the MAFS UK star has made clear doesn’t bother him.
JJ stated: “With our age, it’s not even a consideration, age doesn’t matter at all. Age is just a number and when you’re older it’s not an issue. We’re both on the same page and wavelength and that’s all that matters.”
Judging by the sound of things, and if the sources are to be believed, we could be seeing JJ getting down on one knee before the end of the year, now that would be the MAFS UK cast wedding of the century…
