Exclusive: Despite the fact that Katie Price’s relationship is alleged to be “on the rocks,” JJ Slater’s boyfriend has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the actress.
Katie Price has been issued an “ultimatum” by her boyfriend JJ Slater, a source has revealed to new. The ex-glamour model, 47, admitted last week that she was on the brink of homelessness, as she must move out of her rental property – due to the landlord selling up – and is struggling to find a new home.
Our source claimed that between Katie’s financial stresses and drama-filled lifestyle, JJ, 33, is putting his foot down and urging her to take her problems more seriously.
They asserted that JJ has already experienced enough drama. Katie has been dealing with the moving circumstance, which JJ feels she occasionally takes out on him, and she isn’t responsible for the money. If they want to have a real chance together, he has issued an ultimatum to Katie, saying that she needs to start taking control of her finances and get her ducks in a row.
Tongues had been wagging of late when JJ was absent from Katie’s Instagram page for more than a month. Meanwhile, Katie hasn’t appeared on his social media since April – and neither of them has spoken publicly about their relationship in weeks. It caused fans to question whether there was trouble in paradise – previously, Katie and JJ have taken numerous romantic getaways, delightedly sharing loved-up snaps together on social media.
But seemingly dispelling any notion of a split, Katie shared a snap to Instagram Stories while on a photoshoot last week which revealed JJ sitting in the foreground.
Discussing her precarious living situation, the mum-of-five had explained on an episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she couldn’t rent a new property, as she was struggling to find a guarantor.
“It p****s me off”, said Katie. I can’t get a guarantee for some properties I look at. Some people don’t make enough money to support me. Even though I have the best reference ever from her former landlord, the landlord wants me to pay six months’ rent upfront and provide a guarantor.
Katie has been renting a £5,000-a-month new build since being legally forced out of her ‘Mucky Mansion’ property in May last year, following a bankruptcy declaration in March 2024. She had owned the home since 2014 and it was sold last December.
It’s thought that JJ has been living with her in recent months, but last week it was reported the reality star had moved out and they had gone their separate ways. While our source said this is not the case and the pair are still very much in a relationship, they did claim the pair have issues they need to tackle.
Our source claimed that “Katie and JJ are on the rocks.” He says, “He is half living with her and half not, and it’s a challenging situation right now.” He believes that because of how much they are together, he becomes a cutting board for her to take stress out of.
The couple met after JJ rose to prominence during a stint on 2023’s Married At First Sight UK. Katie subsequently messaged him on Instagram and they began dating at the start of 2024, going public in February. The pair seemed to progress quickly as a couple and Katie gushed last December that she was keen to marry JJ, saying, “I’d love to get married again.”
If the couple were to end up getting married, it would be Katie’s fourth time walking down the aisle, after previous failed unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler. More recently, she was engaged to Carl Woods, who she split from at the end of 2023 after a turbulent relationship.
Katie, the mother of Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, has unmistakably expressed her desire for more children and has even explored IVF with Carl. Katie said in November, “I’m at that point and I do want more kids,” and that she wants to accomplish it with JJ, who doesn’t have any children. And I don’t want to be told that I can’t have more, either. I am aware that I haven’t finished. I would if I could have two more children.
With JJ, whether those hopes will materialize remains to be seen. According to our source, there is no denying the love between them; however, it needs to change. The source claimed that JJ loves Katie and that he is aware of their potential happiness. She simply needs to stop being so invested in drama and take things more seriously. JJ only wants that.
