Married At First Sight star JJ Slater has revealed that he barely speaks to anyone from his series in 2023 apart from just people from the show amid romance with Katie Price
Married At First Sight star JJ Slater has revealed that he’s only in touch with two of the stars from his E4 series. The reality contestant took part in the 2023 series – and while the intense show can makes friends for life, that’s not the case for JJ.
In fact, according to the reality TV star who is currently dating former glamour model Katie Price, he only keeps in contact with two of them despite being in a group chat with the men from the series.
His admission comes after he was spotted flying out to Türkiye with Katie to have his and hers surgeries.
In a recent interview with The Sun, JJ explained: “Not on a basis where we would message and check in with each other, apart from with Luke and with Terence.”
He added: “There is a boys’ group chat with all the boys in there. It’s pretty quiet now. It was lively at first, but now it’s just like, happy birthdays. Or if someone’s going out, they’ll be like, I’m here, if anyone fancies a beer, stuff like that. But on a day-to-day basis, no.”
When JJ first appeared on the show, he was partnered with Bianca Petronzi but it soon became obvious that he was unable to find a spark towards her.
And it was at this point, he found a connection with Ella Morgan.
Ella made history on the show as the first transgender female. The pair it hit off immediately but after returning to the series as a couple, they too couldn’t make it work and went their separate ways.
Soon after their relationship came to an end, JJ stirred the pot further as he started dating mum of five Katie, who once went by the name of Jordan during her glamour modelling years.
Katie and Ella had formed a friendship so it took Ella by surprise that Katie was now dating her ex.
Speaking to relationship expert Paul C. Brunson on his podcast We Need To Talk, earlier this year, Ella said: “It does make me laugh because you say I’m crazy, and I love Katie but you’re with her now? So, I just wasn’t the right person for him, we haven’t had any contact since the show.
The reality TV star added: “I haven’t seen him since the show. We were texting before the vow renewals and I knew he wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t get over JJ for, I’d say it took me a good six to eight months to get over him.
“I’m fully over him now and I wish him the best, I wish Katie the best, if they’re happy, they’re happy.”
On reflection, Ella believes their romance failed to stand the test of time due to the fact she was a transwoman and was concerned what his friends and family would think.
Ella added: “Looking back, was there that emotional connection? I think there was a lot of fancying and being sexually attracted to someone. Sometimes when there was no cameras, he said I was too loud for him. He said I’d go out for drinks and then take out my anger on him.”
The reality TV star went on to add: “I wasn’t the nicest and I think I was a hurt person and hurt people hurt people and that’s what I did. He was worried how the public would portray him and what his friends and family would think.”
