Katie Price reveals how she met her current boyfriend JJ Slater after he revealed his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
Katie Price admits she first reached out to boyfriend JJ Slater after he revealed he had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The former Married at First Sight star, whose real name is John Joe, revealed he had the condition earlier this year. It prompted Katie, 46, to reach out to JJ on Instagram. The pair then went on a coffee date before their relationship began to blossom. Katie has previously revealed JJ had actually messaged her before, only for his DM to go unanswered.
However, after finally meeting, the pair took their relationship “slowly” and have now been going strong since February. Speaking to Woman’s Own, Katie says she met JJ at a time when she wasn’t actually looking for love. She said: “I’d read in the paper that he’d got diabetes. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s quite harsh,’ as diabetes is a life-changing thing to have. “I messaged and said, ‘I hope you’re okay with your diabetes’. And he said, ‘Oh, I’m really embarrassed.’ I went ‘Why?’ Turns out he’d messaged me two years ago but I never saw it. It must have been deleted so it was obviously meant to be.” JJ initially messaged Katie saying ‘you’re quite fit to be fair,’ she revealed. When she messaged the 32-year-old, Katie said she had recently split from ex-boyfriend Carl Wood and was “mentally exhausted” by relationships. However, the couple decided to “take it slowly”. It came as JJ also wasn’t looking for love, having recently split from MAFS bride Ella Morgan. Katie though says JJ is “so calming and easy”. Praising her partner, she says he finally taught her “what a healthy relationship is”. The mum-of-five hasn’t yet ruled out JJ as “The One” but confesses she is in “no rush” to tie the knot
