JJ Slater spoke exclusively to MailOnline about his five-month romance with Katie Price, revealing that they are already talking about marriage. The relationship between the 31-year-old reality star and the 45-year-old mother-of-five began when Katie reached out to JJ in December to send her well wishes following his diabetes diagnosis. The pair met for coffee, and the attraction between them was instant. JJ admits to falling head over heels for Katie and even reveals that he messaged her years ago in a bid to strike up a romance, but was ignored until catching the TV star’s eye on the Channel 4 show. Katie has been married three times and has a son with disabilities, while JJ has appeared on reality TV and dated someone from the same show.
The couple has been on several romantic getaways, including a holiday where they embraced their adventurous side by quad biking and a skiing trip in February. Despite Katie’s three failed marriages and JJ’s experience on the reality series, the 14-year age gap between them doesn’t bother JJ. He insists that they are on the same page and that age is just a number, focusing on their happiness and future together. JJ says they get along very well, have fun, and are supportive of each other, with a mutual desire to make each other happy and see a future together.
JJ and Katie have been criticized by trolls since going public with their relationship, with some doubting the sincerity of their feelings for each other. JJ, who owns a clothing brand, says they pay no attention to cynics and are just normal people trying to live their lives happily. It has been over a year since JJ appeared on MAFS, where he failed to be intimate with his bride, Bianca. He quickly started dating Ella after the show but says they are no longer on speaking terms. JJ reflects on his experience on the show and how things have changed since then, noting that he and Ella have drifted apart and gone their separate ways.
Despite their different backgrounds and experiences, JJ and Katie are focused on their relationship and planning a future together. JJ admits to being head over heels for Katie and says they have already said the ‘L’ word to each other. They have a strong connection and enjoy spending time together, going on dates and having fun. JJ is not bothered by their age difference and believes that they are compatible and happy together. As they face criticism from trolls, the couple remains focused on their relationship and maintaining their happiness and future plans.
