The couple spent the day with Katie’s pal, entrepreneur Lou Anderson, who shared a sweet Instagram post of them playing with her daughter.
In a gushing caption, Lou praised Married At First Sight UK star JJ as ‘honest and genuine’ and said she’d waited ‘many years’ to approve one of Katie’s boyfriends.
She wrote: ‘Easter fun with this lovely pair!!
‘I’ve waited many years as a friend to approve and finally see my girl with someone I can honestly say that I really think is a lovely and genuine guy and here we are!

‘The happiest and most content Katie I’ve yet to see and long live it.
‘Was a lovely morning thank you for the Easter egg hunt with the kids you guys are too cute and I’m so happy for you both.’
Clearly thrilled with her pal’s praise, Katie re-shared Lou’s post on her own Instagram Stories.
While she and JJ did enjoy a wholesome Easter morning, they ended the weekend with a boozy night out on the town, while her ex-husband and former fiancé enjoyed lunch together.
Katie was seen living it up with Married At First UK star JJ in Shoreditch, East London alongside his brother and reality star Frankie Sims, during which she swilled from a champagne flute.
While Katie was living it up, her exes Kieran Hayler, to whom she was married from 2013 to 2018, and Carl Woods, who she dated from 2020 to late last year, met up to share Easter dinner together with the former’s agent.
Katie was giving the day out her all as she preened and posed with her toyboy, who beamed and giggled while raising a glass to the camera.
While the model was hitting the town, her exes opted for a wholly more wholesome time, with Carl sharing snaps of agent Kirsty’s roast potatoes.

Katie and Kieran share son Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, while she has Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16, with former husband Peter Andre, 50, and is also mother to son Harvey, 21, from her past relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke.
While she has had fractious splits from both Kieran and Kyle, she recently gushed about her romance with JJ, who appeared on the most recent series of MAFS.
As well as discussing her love life, she also discussed her ‘chaotic’ home life with five children. She admitted to forgetting about her exes she said: ‘I’ve got five kids, by two different dads. Or is it three, f***ing hell I can’t even remember…
‘I have more aggravation from the dads of the kids than I do anything.’
Katie added: ‘If I do meet someone they’ve got me to handle, because I’m quite lively and stuff, but then you’ve also got to meet the kids. It’s like five times me. It’s chaos.”I have more aggravation from the dads of the kids than I do anything.’
They were also photographed together at MTV’s Ex on the Beach launch party, which was held last week in honour of the new season, dressed in matching leather outfits.
JJ’s Married At First Sight UK co-star has claimed his relationship with Katie is a ‘showmance’ because he’s ‘desperate to stay relevant’ despite being ‘talentless.’

Nathanial Valentino has accused his former love rival of only pursuing a romance with the mother-of-five to maintain his public profile and says while he understands the need for Katie to reinvent herself, JJ isn’t in the same position.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Nathanial, 36, alleged that JJ had no intention of staying in a relationship with Ella Morgan and only had a fling with the transgender bride for the controversial storyline.

The Real Husbands of Katie Price
In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here’s a look at the trio with whom she exchanged ‘I dos’… and ‘I don’ts’:
PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)
The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.
ALEX REID (2010 – 2012)
Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton’s 30th birthday party at London’s Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex ‘too soon’, she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne.
KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)
Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie’s world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their ‘amicable’ divorce was finalised in early 2021.
