The former glamour model was spotted on a night out in a lively Newcastle bar with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater after splitting from ex-fiancé Carl Woods at the end of last year.
by Nicola Croal, Patrick Hill, Ayaan Ali, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/nicola-croal/ · Daily RecordKatie Price looks smitten as she's spotted for the first time with her new man, Married At First Sight star JJ Slater.
The glamour model who's been married three times has been seen looking cosy with her rumoured new beau JJ, who is 14 years younger than her.
The mum-of-five is believed to have grown close to the C4 reality star after announcing her split from ex-fiancé Carl Woods, 34, on New Year's Eve.
Katie and JJ were seen enjoying a Sunday night jaunt to Bobby's Bar in Newcastle in pictures obtained by the Mirror.
A fellow partygoer told the publication: “He came in after her and they sat together for at least an hour. They looked very cosy together, especially when she rested her arm on his shoulder.”
The 45-year-old also entertained the crowd by singing karaoke at the late-night venue, which boasts cut price drinks deal and appearances by drag acts.
However, she left some baffled by her foul language on the microphone as she enthusiastically told patrons: “I f****** love you c****** f****** s******* b*******!.”
Katie was in the north-east starring as Queen Rat in an adult panto in North Shields.
JJ and Katie's cosy night out comes after we previously reported that the pair have been 'constantly' texting each other in secrecy and growing closer.
A source said: "They’ve met a few times and are texting each other constantly. She’s really into him - this is the first man she’s actually been interested in since Carl."
JJ appeared on E4 show Married At First Sight but failed to find love despite two separate attempts.
He was initially paired with hair extension specialist Bianca Petronzi, 30, before re entering the process with transgender bride Ella Morgan, 29.
The switch came after JJ made it clear that his wife wasn't his 'usual type.'
The pair had a heated clash during a dinner party with the fiery blonde criticising the Essex business owner for his dishonesty after finding out he had been texting Ella behind her back.
After giving things a try with Ella, the pair both decided they were better off as friends.
However, JJ and Ella took their relationship to an intimate level before going their separate ways, with JJ revealing in November that they slept together before splitting up.
He explained: "We don't want anything that's not true to be out there so now I feel the need to put the record straight..."
He added to the MailOnline: "We did take our relationship to the next level. It was during my homestay... the pressure was off a little bit because we were outside of the bubble and there wasn't anyone else around us with their opinions."
During the interview, JJ confirmed he had Ella's permission to discuss their sex life.
Meanwhile, Katie split from her former fiancé Carl at the end of 2023 and even lashed out at their failed relationship.
Katie had an on-off relationship with the Love Island star, 34, for many years before they parted ways.
Last month, the former glamour model confirmed her split from Carl on her podcast, The Katie Price Show.
She told her sister Sophie: "I had filler in my bum. I've had a tattoo done, a full back tattoo, and my lips, that probably doesn't make me feel that good. My body's had a bit of a beating in 24 hours."
Sophie asked: "So is this like a breakup makeover thing?" Katie replied: "No, it's called a catch-up and having time to be able to do it now. It's like I've got time to do whatever I want, maintenance nails, getting back on form to the price.
"Like Princess said, 'Oh, mum, you look nice in what you're wearing' I said 'What do you mean?' [and she said] 'Well you're just not always in your tracksuits'.
"I'm like, well, I'm making an effort now because I'm allowed to wear and do what I want. And I am, and I've got time to do it.
Katie and Carl sparked rumours of yet another split between them back in November when they unfollowed one another on social media just weeks after Katie tried on a few wedding dresses and teased she was due to tie the knot for a fourth time.
It was reported in July that Katie was planning to marry Carl in secrecy due to her family not being big fans of the reality tv star.
A source close to the mum-of-five told OK! magazine: "Katie is planning on having a secret wedding with Carl, then a big party afterwards. It will be soon. She loves the thrill of getting married and wants to do it again."
The insider added that Katie, whose ex-husbands consist of Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, was planning on inviting her children to her registry office ceremony with Carl, but was not going to ask her mother Amy Price.
The source explained: "Katie knows Amy would be fuming and tell her not to do it. She keeps suggesting to Carl they elope to Gretna Green."
However, it clearly wasn't meant to be between the pair calling off the wedding once again while Katie seems to have moved on with Married At First Sight star JJ.
The mum-of-five appears to be keeping her options open though as she confessed she also has her sights set on Love Island star Anton Danyluk for a second time.
The Scots star's mum recently revealed that Katie had told her: "your boys fit in fact I'm single Sherie Ann'" to which Anton's mother, Sherie Ann, hilariously replied: "Are you hen? You've got too much baggage for my boy."
Carl seems to be moving on too with the car salesman taking a savage swipe at his ex at the start of the year, just a few days after Katie celebrated "being single" during a New Year's Eve party with pal Kerry Katona.
Appearing unbothered by Katie's partying, Carl took to social media on January 5 to share a topless selfie of himself looking deep in thought while basking in some complementary lighting.

Katie's on-off fiance wrote alongside the image: "Emotions are energy. Energy cannot be destroyed only converted. When emotions cause stress allow the energy to transform."
The cryptic update sent fans into a frenzy as many assumed he may attempt to rekindle his love with Katie.
Time will only tell if Katie and Carl decide to give their romance another shot but for now she seems smitten with her new man JJ.
