Former Married At First Sight star JJ Slater has provided a personal life update from Florida, just hours after his ex-partner Katie Price appeared to confirm her pregnancy with new husband Lee Andrews. The reality television personality shared his thoughts in a recent TikTok video, emphasizing a focus on personal happiness and daily living.
Slater's Reflective Message from the Sunshine State
In the video, captioned "A big thank you and a little update," JJ Slater is seen shirtless while strolling in the Florida sunshine. He addressed his followers directly, explaining that it took him longer than expected to share this message due to taking time away from his phone and social media to process recent events.
"For a few weeks I wasn't on my phone, I took some time away from everything to process stuff," Slater stated in the clip. He went on to express gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received from fans and followers during this period.
Overwhelming Support from Followers
"The last week or so I've been reading all the DM's and the comments that I've been sent, and to be honest I was shocked at the amount of people who have taken the time out of their day to send love, kind messages, and just support really," Slater revealed in his emotional update.
He concluded his message with a positive outlook on his current situation, stating: "For anyone that cares about what I'm doing, I'm out in St. Pete beach, Florida. It's beautiful here. I'm just taking each day as it comes really, finding my own happiness. I'm doing good, like really good."
Background of the Relationship Timeline
This update comes against the backdrop of significant relationship developments involving Katie Price. Earlier this year, Price announced her separation from JJ Slater on her podcast, explaining her decision to end the relationship rather than let it become problematic.
"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," Price stated. "You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty. So I'd rather have nipped it in the bud sooner rather than later."
Rapid Relationship Progression for Katie Price
Just days after parting ways with the MAFS star, Katie Price became engaged and swiftly married in a surprise ceremony in Dubai last month. The relationship has progressed rapidly, with Lee Andrews recently announcing that he and his wife will "soon be a triple."
On Wednesday afternoon, the former glamour model appeared to confirm she was carrying Lee's child in a social media post that also criticized his ex-girlfriend Alana Percival, according to reports from the Mirror.
JJ Slater's representative has been approached for comment regarding these recent developments and his client's current state of mind following the pregnancy announcement news.
