Reality television star Katie Price has ignited fresh speculation about the status of her relationship with Married At First Sight contestant JJ Slater, following a revealing New Year video on her YouTube channel.
A Telling Omission in 2026 Plans
In an 18-minute video posted to see in the new year, the 47-year-old media personality outlined her goals and focus for 2026. While detailing the important areas of her life, Katie Price made no mention whatsoever of boyfriend JJ Slater in her upcoming plans, leading many fans to conclude that rumours of their separation are accurate.
The vlog, which begins with scenes featuring her son Harvey and daughter Princess, does show JJ Slater briefly in the background. He is seen looking at his phone and, in another segment filmed on the Isle of Wight, helping Harvey into a car. However, it is believed this footage was captured prior to New Year's Eve and the couple's reported break-up.
Cryptic Comments on Private 'Hiccups'
Towards the end of the clip, Price addressed the camera directly, offering a reflective and somewhat cryptic message about the year ahead. She hinted at facing personal challenges, stating: "2025, privately, there's been some hiccups, workwise it's been fantastic."
She struck a resilient tone, adding: "Nothing else in my life that I haven't already been through, I could go through again... I am the best version I could ever be. The only way is up when you hit rock bottom." She encouraged viewers who were feeling down to remember they could be survivors too.
Pie Charts and Priorities
Using the analogy of a pie chart to describe how she wants to balance her life, Price spoke of dividing her focus between work, family, self-care, and hobbies. "For me I want to make it equal in all of those areas," she explained. "That's what's important to me because you never know when it's your last day."
When explicitly asked about her plans for 2026, she listed a series of professional endeavours with no reference to her romantic life. Her stated goals included:
- A music tour and podcast tour.
- Another tour with friend Kerry.
- Television projects.
- More horse riding and competition.
- Getting fit and potentially changing her hair colour.
Reported Pressure Led to Split
This development follows a report from a source to The Mirror, which claimed the split had been "on the cards for a long time." The insider suggested that Price's desire for marriage, security, and another baby had created significant pressure, with JJ Slater ultimately getting "cold feet" over the drama associated with life in the Price spotlight.
The source stated: "She’s fixated on being with someone and being in a long, stable relationship so in the end she was like, ‘Right, you either marry me, or you don’t. It was all or nothing.'"
By sharing her forward-looking plans without a reference to her partner and alluding to private struggles, Katie Price's latest upload has provided substantial fuel to the ongoing speculation about her relationship status as 2026 begins.
