Reality TV star and podcaster Katie Price has split with her boyfriend JJ Slater after 19 months together, with reports revealing she is already moving on and has ‘loads of guys’ filling up her inbox.
Married At First Sight star JJ, 31, and 47-year-old Katie were first linked at the end of 2023, and after a controversial whirlwind of a romance, a source has claimed that Katie has got ‘bored’ and that JJ has ‘lost his sparkle’.
“Katie and JJ have decided to go their separate ways, with JJ having already packed his bags and moved out. Ultimately, Katie's gotten bored. Friends and family had been warning JJ for a while that he’d lost his sparkle and that she treated him like a doormat,” a source claimed to Closer.
The source went on to reveal that Katie ‘isn’t upset’ to be single again and has plenty of options in her DM’s, and she has even made jokes with her friend where she referred to men as handbags.

They added: “JJ has seen the messages, DM’s sliding in and out from other men, Katie isn’t upset. She even joked with her pal, ‘new house, new start! I change men like handbags, but handbags are more useful!’ He’s gutted, but Katie claims she has not been unfaithful or been going behind his back and sexting other men.”
Commenting on Katie’s dating habits, the source said: “Katie loves the excitement of the chase and being chased. If it’s naughty, then she’s in."
Adding: "She craves the dopamine rush and is a self-confessed addict to anything that gives her a rush and instant gratification. She lives for her next hit, and sadly, JJ is just another statistic of collateral damage.”

Just last month, Katie was snapped cosying up to a number of shirtless men while on holiday in Ibiza, and the holiday is said to have made JJ feel insecure. “She can’t help but flirt and cosy up to people, it’s the life she’s always led,” a source told OK!
The former glamour model was snapped partying with former UFC champion Conor McGregor, EastEnders star Dean Gaffney and nightclub boss Wayne Lineker, owner of the island’s famous O Beach club.

She said: "When you meet someone, it's natural to want to be with them all the time. Then the mistakes I've made in the past are then you're with them all the time.” She added: “I'm a bit worried that I've got like that with JJ."
