The couple were spotted on a skiing holiday together in February but had yet to confirm they were an item.

They kissed on the slopes in in The Sun's exclusive photos and hinted they were together again last weekend before jetting to Dublin together.

Katie was quizzed on the sizzling romance by her sister Sophie on the latets episode of their podcast.

Sophie opened the conversation and said: "A lot of comments on Instagram about this, so we're going to clear it up.

"Kate, are you in a relationship? Because in some of our past episodes, you've said, you know, I'm not in a relationship with JJ, we're just friends, and some of our listeners are calling you out on it, so, what's your response?"

"Calling me out or not, I wasnt in a relationship. But this week we've gone official," Katie clapped back.

The TV star explained: "We're not a crystal ball I can't say we're in a relationship if we're not, so we haven't fooled anyone.

"From the time the last pod came out, things have changed, things change every day. So yes, this week I can say, we are official."

"Does that clear things up listeners? Let us know!" her sister replied.

And Katie continued: "Maybe next week we'll talk about how long we've been messaging and seeing each other.

"The thing is, with my life, I don't have to tell everyone everything.

"Especially when it comes to relationships, I wasn't even looking for a relationship, but yeah we can talk about that next week."

JJ - real name John Joe - has yet to address their romance but has been sharing snaps from their holidays too.

MAFS UK star JJ, 31, posted a clip of them arriving at boxer Conor McGregor's pub The Black Forge Inn last month, writing: "What a gaff."

Former glamour model Katie, 45, then posted a snap showing her enjoying a pint of stout, which Conor, 35, reposted adding: "Real G Katie Price!"

Katie and JJ's latest trip comes after fans shared "concerns" about the relationship.

On Friday, JJ joined Katie at a live taping of the Saving Grace podcast at the London Palladium, where Katie donned a tiny sheer outfit before performing her single, I Got U, to the crowd. 

After the event, Katie shared backstage pictures of her cuddled up to host Grace Keeling - best known by stage name GK Barry - as well as JJ and her sister, Sophie. 

Fans quickly filled the comments section congratulating her on a job well done - but others shared their fears she was moving too fast with her new beau. 

"I feel for her ... because you know it's just going to end in disaster,” wrote one. “Just be on your own for a while Katie, love yourself.” 

"I like Katie but he is a beg,” another added of JJ. “Will use her for five minutes of fame like the others….i wish she met someone genuine.” 

“You look great, but he won’t be the one,” said a third. 

Meanwhile Katie last week claimed she was snubbed by a huge BBC show - and insisted she knew which celebrity "took her spot".
