Katie Price has sparked speculation that she may have embarked on a new romance, just days after reports emerged of her split from boyfriend JJ Slater.
A Cryptic Social Media Hint
On Sunday night, the mother-of-five and former glamour model shared a suggestive quote to her Instagram followers. The post read: "The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time."
This cryptic message comes hot on the heels of news that her two-year relationship with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater had ended. The pair, who met in 2024, were known for getting matching tattoos just five months into their romance.
The End of a Two-Year Relationship
A source close to the couple revealed to the Mail Online that the split was due to Katie's long-term vision. "She's now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time," the insider stated.
The report indicated that Slater was "left disappointed" by the breakup and has already 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 source added.
Katie's Changing Outlook on Love
While Price has not publicly confirmed the status of her relationship with Slater, she recently spoke about her independence on her podcast, The Katie Price Show.
"Years ago, I was always afraid of being on my own. I always felt I needed someone. How I am now, I always say, I don't need a man," she explained. "If I want a man, it's because I want them. I don't need a man, whereas years before, I needed a man."
This marks a significant shift for Price, who was previously in a relationship with Carl Woods before getting together with Slater. At the start of their romance, she had praised JJ, calling him a 'perfect gentleman' who 'ticks every box'.
For his part, Slater had described their connection as something that "happened super naturally" after meeting for coffee as friends, following her supportive message about his diabetes diagnosis.
