Katie Price’s ex-boyfriend JJ Slater has quietly severed his last visible link to the former glamour model, unfollowing her on Instagram after being left “blindsided” by her sudden engagement—just weeks after their split.
Earlier this month, it emerged that Katie, 46, had ended her two-year relationship with the Married At First Sight UK star, 32, after deciding she could not see a future with him. While Katie publicly insisted their romance had been strong, insiders said cracks had been “too obvious to ignore” for some time.
The shock came when Katie announced she was engaged again—this time to entrepreneur Lee Andrews—a move that reportedly stunned not only fans, but her own family. Relatives are said to be worried that everything is happening too fast, particularly as some have yet to meet her new fiancé.
In the aftermath, JJ appears to have drawn a clear line under the relationship. He no longer follows Katie on Instagram, despite her still following him, signalling what sources describe as a final goodbye. Friends say JJ was left reeling by the engagement news and has since travelled to Miami with family, where he has been trying to “heal his broken heart.”
JJ has shared glimpses of his time away, posting sun-soaked snaps alongside motivational messages about staying on track even when routines change—subtle signs, according to those close to him, of someone trying to move on.
The couple began dating in February 2024, with Katie even speaking openly at one point about having another child together. But behind the scenes, doubts were growing. One source previously revealed that Katie had questioned whether JJ was “husband material” and ultimately accepted that the relationship would not lead to her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.
JJ, however, is said to have genuinely believed in their future together and was left deeply disappointed when the relationship ended. He later packed up and returned to Essex, while Katie’s life took another dramatic turn.
Just weeks on, Katie revealed she is now engaged for the ninth time, sharing images of a lavish proposal complete with a giant diamond ring and red roses spelling out “will you marry me?”. The announcement reportedly came as a “massive shock” to her family, who are said to have discovered the news via social media.
Despite ongoing financial struggles, including being declared bankrupt in 2024, Katie has since jetted off to Dubai for a luxury break with her new fiancé, embracing yet another whirlwind chapter in her turbulent love life.
