Katie Price's boyfriend MAFS star JJ Slater has reportedly issued an 'ultimatum' to the former glamour model following rumours of a split.
Katie Price has been given an "ultimatum" by her boyfriend JJ Slater, according to a source. The former glamour model, 47, confessed last week that she was on the verge of homelessness.
‌
The news comes as she needs to vacate her rented property due to the landlord selling it and is finding it difficult to secure a new home. The source suggested as reported by the Mirror, that between Katie's financial woes and her drama-filled lifestyle, MAFS star JJ, 33, is insisting she takes things more seriously.
‌
"JJ has had enough of all the drama," they revealed to New. " Katie isn't responsible with money and has been struggling with the moving situation, which JJ feels she sometimes takes out on him. He has given Katie an ultimatum, explaining that she needs to start taking accountability for her finances and get her ducks in a row – if they're to have a real chance together."
‌
Recently, speculation was mounting when JJ was missing from Katie's Instagram page for over a month. Meanwhile, Katie hasn't featured on his social media since April and neither of the pair has publicly discussed their relationship in weeks.
This led fans to speculate whether there is trouble in paradise. Katie and JJ have previously enjoyed multiple romantic holidays, happily posting affectionate photos together on social media.
‌
However, seemingly quashing any rumours of a break-up, Katie posted a photo on Instagram during a photoshoot last week which showed JJ sitting in the foreground.
Discussing her unstable housing situation, the mum-of-five revealed on an episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she was unable to rent a new home due to difficulties in finding a guarantor.
"It p****s me off," Katie expressed. "Some houses I look at, I can't get a guarantor. Some people don't earn enough to be one for me. One house I do want, the landlord wants six months' rent up front and a guarantor – even though I've got the best reference ever [from her former landlord]."
‌
Since being legally evicted from her Mucky Mansion property in May last year, following a bankruptcy declaration in March 2024, Katie has been renting a £5,000-a-month new build. She had owned the home since 2014 and it was sold last December.
It's believed that JJ has been staying at the property with her in recent months, but last week reports emerged that the reality star had moved out and they had parted ways.
‌
However, a source speaking to the Mirror denied this, stating that the couple are still very much together, but they did admit the pair have issues they need to address.
"Katie and JJ are on the rocks," the source alleged to the publication. "He is half living with her and half not – it's a tricky situation at the moment. He feels like, when they are living together, he becomes a chopping board for her to take stress out on, so that's something that needs to change."
The pair first connected after JJ gained fame during his appearance on Married At First Sight U in 2023. Katie then reached out to him on Instagram, and they started their romance at the beginning of 2024, making their relationship official in February.
‌
The duo appeared to progress their relationship very quickly, with Katie revealing last December her eagerness to tie the knot with JJ, declaring, "I'd love to get married again."
Should the pair eventually tie the knot, it would mark Katie's fourth trip down the aisle, following her previous unsuccessful marriages to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.
‌
Most recently, she was engaged to Carl Woods, however the pair parted ways at the end of 2023 following a rocky romance. Katie, who is mum to Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, has been open about her longing to expand her family further and even considered IVF treatment with Carl.
Seemingly confirming this remains an ambition she hopes to fulfil with JJ, who has no children of his own, Katie revealed in November, "I'm at that stage and I do want more kids. And I don't want to be told by a doctor or something that I can't have more. I know I'm not done. If I could have two more kids, I would."
Whether those family aspirations will materialise with JJ remains to be seen. The source claimed the love is certainly there, things just need to change between them.
"JJ does love Katie and he knows they can be really happy," said the source. "It's just a case of her not getting so involved in drama all of the time and taking things more seriously. That's all JJ wants."
