At the time of her cryptic comment, Kate confirmed her romance with JJ, writing that the reality star “checks every box” and adding “you have proven to me that you are a true gentleman”
Katie shared a message on her Stories on Sunday that read: “A mother who plays the role of father and mother at the same time does not deserve to be judged, but to be admired, appreciated and respected.”
The same day, she went Instagram official with JJ and shared a photo: ‘They say things happen for a reason, the unexpected happened. Lot. Check every box.
‘@johnjoeslater you have proven to me that you are a true gentleman and completely apart from me to me’
JJ responded sweetly in the comments section: “Fate… thank you so much for being you.”
Katie had often talked about getting married and starting a family with ex-boyfriend Carl Woods in recent years, but she announced her split from him as she took to social media to ring in the new year with boyfriend Kerry Katona.
In addition to her recent split from Carl following the couple’s on-off relationship, Katie also has three ex-husbands, Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.
Katie has reportedly introduced her new boyfriend JJ to some of her children as the couple’s romance continues to heat up.
Katie and JJ headed off on a romantic Bulgarian ski trip, which they exclusively shared photos of with MailOnline.
A source said: “Katie has already introduced JJ to her youngest children. It’s so important to her that he gets along with them as they are a huge part of her life.
“They’ve been talking for a while, but it looks like things are already getting serious.”

Meanwhile, Carl, 35, who has been in an on/off relationship with Katie since 2021, shared a screenshot of a text he said was from Katie, sent shortly before her trip.
The single X turned out to be a kiss, with a confused Carl replying: ‘A kiss, fry my brain’.
Before adding: ‘Why did you send me an X last night knowing you’re going to the airport with him on my birthday?’.
Carl tagged JJ in the post and wrote, “She used to do this behind my back. Enjoy the skiing, bro’.
He later shared another post claiming he had taken Katie’s Range Rover back to her filthy mansion after ‘she asked him to hide it from the bailiffs’.
Bankrupt Katie is due in court next month over £760,000 in unpaid taxes and £250,000 compensation owed to ex Alex Reid – resulting in bailiffs visiting her home.
In 2019, the former cage fighter, 48, who was married to Katie for two years between 2010 and 2012, won a lawsuit and £250,000 after the former Loose Woman allegedly leaked an explicit sex tape and photos of him.
It comes after Katie and new flame JJ got up close as they headed out for a meal at the beachside IRMAS Restaurant in Southend on Sea.
The duo looked every bit a happy couple as they walked arm-in-arm, with Katie showing off her tattooed stomach in a crop top and combat trousers.
JJ couldn’t stop beaming as he walked with the showbiz veteran following the shocking news that his co-star ex Ella Morgan accused Katie of ‘breaking the girl code’ by hooking up with the star.
After photos emerged of Katie and JJ looking up close, sources close to Ella, 29, say the reality star, who is transgender, is furious and feels “betrayed” for becoming good friends with Katie.
Insiders told The Sun: ‘Ella is furious and feels really betrayed by Katie for talking to her ex JJ. Ella and Katie have become friends in recent months…
“So she was surprised that Katie would do that. She has no feelings for JJ, she’s just furious that Katie went behind her back and broke girl code.”
John, also known as JJ, is said to have caught Katie’s attention when they met following his appearance on the most recent series of MAFS UK last year.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘They have met a few times and text each other constantly. She really likes him. This is the first man she’s really interested in since Carl.’

She was last seen with Carl on December 21 last year when they stepped out arm-in-arm after her pantomime performance of Sleeping Beauty in Liverpool.
Katie and Carl previously split at the end of November and unfollowed each other on Instagram, but appeared to have reconciled before the Liverpool outing before going their separate ways.
Days later, Carl took a swipe at his ex-fiancée Katie Price as he posed hugging a mystery woman’s legs, adorned with a tattoo that read “Game Over.”
