Katie Price's new boyfriend JJ Slater has broken his silence on the couple's whirlwind romance, and their plans to get married.
The E4 Married At First Sight UK star, who's 14 years younger than former glamour model and mum-of-five Katie, insists he's "happy".

They met for coffee after Katie messaged JJ on Instagram back in December last year and seemed to hit it off straight away.
Speaking for the first time about the couple's relationship, JJ says things began to snowball "naturally" after meeting up.
"It wasn't something I was looking for," he told MailOnline. "I had been on Married At First Sight UK, which was a stressful and intense experience but with Kate and I… it just happened super naturally."
He added: "We met for coffee and met as friends, and we got on really well as friends and it developed from there, which was really nice.
"There was no pressure, we both just really fancied and liked each other."

Katie reached out to JJ after hearing about his diabetes diagnosis. "She was being kind, which I appreciated and then it went from there," he explained.
Reality star Katie has been married three times, once to Peter Andre, with whom she shares kids Junior and Princess, she also tied the knot with Alex Reid, and most recently she married Kieran Hayler, dad of her two youngest, Bunny and Jett.
"Of course, she is obviously a very, very attractive lady and I do fancy her, she's my girlfriend now… but I have always thought she was fit," JJ told the Mail.
"It would have been ideal on Married At First Sight if I was at the altar and I turned around and it was Kate walking down. It would have saved a lot of time.
"We have said the L word. The thing is we get on so well and have so much fun together.
"All I really want to do is make sure Kate is happy, support her, and be there for her, her being happy means I'm doing something right."
