JJ Slater’s friends and family have begged him to dump Katie Price after her arrest and court drama.
Reality star JJ, 31, who found fame on MAFS UK last year, was first linked to Katie, 46, at the start of 2024 - with the pair confirming their relationship in February.
But it doesn't appear his loved ones are onboard with the romance, especially since his fashion firm suffered a £31k loss.
A source told The Sun: “Everyone is worried and telling him to end things. He was really together before meeting Katie but the chaos surrounding her is not good for him or anyone really.
"It’s like Katie thrives off the chaos but JJ isn’t like that. It’s not just personally, but professionally.
"He worked hard to get his clothing brand off the ground and associating with her won’t do that any good.”

The couple have just got back from Turkey, where Katie underwent her sixth facelift and JJ got his teeth done.
However, a warrant out for Katie's arrest was issues while she was abroad after failing to attend court for her bankruptcy case on July 31.
She flew out to Istanbul hours before she was due in court as part of her £760,000 bankruptcy fight.

Katie said: “I find it difficult in court. I have been assessed by another high court.”
Judge Schaffer told her she must make an application to do so, and that she should seek legal advice.
Katie responded: “Now with the legal advice, I tried to get legal advice but I’ve been charged £50,000 up front.
