Katie Price’s boyfriend has given an honest admission about his previous relationship on Married at First Sight UK. The TV star is currently in a relationship with JJ Slater, who found fame on the E4 reality show in 2023. JJ has spoken to Express Online on behalf of Casino.org. about his experience on the dating programme, why he applied, and how he has dealt with online trolls. The Essex lad, whose real name is John Joe Slater, was married to Bianca Petronzi on the show. But, he caused controversy when he split with partner Bianca in order to explore his connection with a different contestant, Ella Morgan. Speaking about when he first met Biana at the altar, he said: “Yeah, I mean, obviously not everyone can be everyone’s type.
“For me, that initial attraction just wasn’t there. I’ve got nothing bad to say about that person at all, but from my side, there just wasn’t any chemistry, not romantically and, honestly, not even on a friendship level. There’s no bad blood whatsoever, but I just didn’t feel that connection. I wanted to give it a go and try to build a friendship first, but yeah… it was difficult.”

When quizzed about what his friends and family thought about him signing up for the show, JJ said: “They were a bit surprised that it was something that I was doing.
“Because MAFS is so big, it naturally creates a lot of opinions. And obviously, my journey wasn’t straightforward or plain sailing, so I probably attracted more opinions and more criticism than a lot of the others. And that’s fair enough, you know, because my journey was quite different. But there was definitely a lot of hate and trolling.”
He continued: “Now, though, it’s been two years, and there are probably more opinions about me in the papers now – not every day, but close – and honestly, I don’t even bat an eyelid anymore.

“At first, it was really hurtful and overwhelming, but now it’s like a switch has flipped. I just let it go over my head because, at the end of the day, these people don’t actually know me.”
Katie Price and JJ first met in late 2023, and their relationship became public in February 2024. In May 2024, Katie labelled JJ as “the most kind, genuine, easygoing, chilled person” on a podcast.
