PRICEY BLING

Katie Price’s dazzling £1m jewellery haul from EIGHT engagements – after flashing diamond in Turkey with JJ Slater

KATIE PRICE has sparked engagement rumours after flashing a huge diamond ring in Turkey.

The 46-year-old and her boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, were recently abroad together while the former glamour model underwent a £10k facelift.

And it looks like the Married at First Sight UK star has popped the question after she was snapped recovering while rocking the sparkler.

Should the rumours be true, this will be Katie's ninth engagement.

When you've had that many men drop down on one knee to ask for your hand, it can only mean one thing - a VERY impressive collection of engagement rings.

The mum-of-five has sported some serious bling on her finger over the years, thought to be worth up to a cool £1million, but she hasn't always been able to keep hold of them all.

The ex-glamour model, got engaged to car dealer Carl Woods after ten months of dating.

Katie showed off her ring in a photo shared to both her and Carl’s Instagram in 2021 with the caption: “I said yes.”

Her ring looked to be a five-carat emerald cut, diamond encrusted, wed fit design, meaning rings can fit flush either side. The diamond is a VS clarity, meaning it has little to no inclusions, and diamond experts value it at £100,000 – £150,000.

Carl took to Instagram in late 2022 to reveal that he and Katie had split.

In 2019, Kris Boyson popped the question with a £39,000 sparkler, which diamond experts suggest is a Tiffany design, with its classic six claw prong setting.

The former glamour model announced the happy news on Loose Women.

It came after just more than a year of dating on and off - with their furious rows all captured on camera for her reality show My Crazy Life.

Katie met fitness instructor Kris through former Love Island star Rykard Jenkins in early May 2018, but split up temporarily when she enjoyed a string of secret dates with minted businessman Alex Adderson later that year.

Kris and Katie never made it up the aisle, and Kris sold her engagement ring.

'His and hers' matching diamond bands

Katie and Kieran Hayler first tied the knot just two months after meeting in the Bahamas in January 2013, after Kieran proposed on Christmas Day, 2012.

He presented her with an emerald cut diamond engagement ring, valued at the time at the relatively 'modest' sum of £9,000.

It was not a typical engagement ring as it had no centre stone. Instead, it had a five-row cut down setting, with around 2.5 carats of small diamonds.

Kieran also had a diamond studded wedding ring to match, and the pair - who share children Jett, and Bunny - went on to renew their vows in 2016.

The couple split for good in 2018 following a five-year marriage that was blighted by Kieran's affairs.

Both Kieran and Katie have been engaged again since their split, with Kieran most recently proposing to his partner Michelle Penticost.

£15K heart-shaped ring returned to jeweller

In perhaps one of the less memorable engagements, Katie was betrothed to Argentinian male model Leandro Penna for six months in 2012, after the pair were introduced at Sir Elton John's post-Oscars party.

After Leandro proposed in March 2012, Katie was pictured sporting a unique pink heart-shaped diamond encrusted design.

This heart shaped ring featured either a pink topaz or pink sapphire with cut down halo design with a diamond set band. Due to its vivid colour, it could definitely be a pink sapphire which are valued higher.

Diamond experts suggest the ring would've costs between £15,000 and £30,000.

But their engagement didn't last very long as they called time in October 2012.

After their split there was confusion over who actually purchased the ring, and Katie reportedly had to return the heart-shaped rock to the jeweller - because it hadn't been paid for.

Leandro : "The ring in question has never been in my possession. It was a ring Katie Price designed, ordered and had delivered directly to herself from her personal jeweller.

"After open dialogue between Katie’s and my own management an agreement was reached for Katie to voluntarily return the ring, ending the threat from her jeweller of civil court action."

Katie’s spokesperson disagreed with this version of events, saying: "Katie found out that the ring had not been paid for by Leo and so has returned it rather than have the jeweller out of pocket and Leo pursued for the debt."

The most 'eye-catching and exuberant engagement ring'

When cage fighter Alex Reid proposed to Katie in 2009 he popped out a huge peach rock on a diamond-encrusted mount. Diamond experts say the ring was very similar to the second upgrade from Peter Andre.

Celebrity jeweller Vashi Dominguez describing the huge peach rock on a diamond-encrusted mount as the most "eye-catching and exuberant ring".

The huge ring from Alex was a custom cut, micro pave set ring.

It featured a large centre stone  around 10 carats and looked like a checkerboard morganite due to its pink tones. The stone is surrounded with over 2 carats of small diamonds and would be valued at around £35,000 to £40,000.

The pair became an item just eight weeks after Katie’s split from first husband Peter Andre, and they married in Las Vegas in February 2010.

The pair became an item just eight weeks after Katie's split from first husband Peter Andre, and they married in Las Vegas in February 2010.

At the time the gigantic rock was valued at £25K, and is now thought to be worth almost double.

However, after their divorce just 11 months later, Katie returned the ring to her ex.

Three rings and at least £230K worth of bling

One of her most highly-publicised relationships, Katie's well-documented love story with first husband Peter Andre began when they met on I'm A Celebrity! back in 2004.

Singer Peter, who shares children Princess and Junior with Katie, proposed in the same year, and the couple married in September 2005 in a lavish fairytale ceremony, said to be worth £1million before separating in 2009.

During their time together, Katie reportedly received three rings from Peter - having upgraded the first two for an even bigger piece of bling.

Her first ring had no centre stone, instead it was a rectangular design, with a band most likely in white gold, and diamonds encrusted all around the ring.

Her second ring, which was definitely much bigger, contained a very large pink/brown stone, that some diamond experts suspected morganite.

From the unique design, it was definitely been custom made, and looked like she had chosen her own stone and asked for it to be surrounded by encrusted diamonds.

Her second ring would be worth around £80,000 today.

The final ring she had for her marriage to Peter was not the style of a typical engagement ring - it was a pave set custom rainbow style ring, with around two carats of diamonds overall. If it was valued today, it would probably be worth around £60,000.

Despite having sold two of her engagement rings from Peter, she reportedly saved the jewels from the first ring, to create a sentimental bangle to give to daughter Princess, saying: "When I'm older Princess will get the bracelet with the diamonds I married her dad with. It has not gone to waste."

Peter's rival

Before heading into the I'm A Celebrity jungle, Katie was engaged to businessman Scott Sullivan in 2004.

However, Katie's eye soon wandered after meeting Peter Andre on the show.

She was seen telling Peter that he was "not the one" for her.

Scott told The Sun at the time: "I don't like what's going on. I'm furious."

First love - and a £3.5k sparkler 

Gladiators star Ace, real name Warren Furman, was Katie's first fiancé, after they became an item in 1996 when Katie was just 18 - just before the height of her page three 'Jordan' modelling fame, and before she'd even undergone her first boob job.

Nineties pin-up Warren proposed to her in 1997 with a £3.5K classic diamond ring, but their engagement was short-lived, and they split the following year.

It's not known what happened to the ring, and it was rarely pictured at the time.

How Katie's ring collection adds up

  • Warren Furman: £3.5k, now valued at at least £6k
  • Peter Andre - now worth up to £600,000 for one ring alone, with two others worth up to £150k and £80k
  • Alex Reid: £25k, now valued at £42k
  • Leandro Penna: £15k
  • Kieran Hayler: £9k
  • Kris: £39k
  • TOTAL: £941,000 

 

Speaking on This Morning, Warren - who at the height of his career earned £2k an hour- admitted fame played a huge role in their relationship, saying: "We both took our clothes off for a living and grew up with similar backgrounds. But we were both selling stories in the media."

There's no denying Katie has been lucky enough to sport a very impressive array of enviable diamonds - but with each one there's been undeniable drama and heartache for Katie.

Fingers crossed the next one - both the ring and Carl - are keepers, and Katie finally gets the happily ever after she deserves.
