JJ, 33, has spoken for the first time about his shock split from Katie after she tied the knot with businessman Lee a week ago.
Katie, 47, wed the self-proclaimed millionaire in Dubai after they allegedly hit it off on social media just days after she told blindsided JJ she no longer loved him.
Now JJ says he caught Katie messaging Premier League stars Jack and Kyle while the couple were on holiday with friends in Cyprus in October 2024.
There is no suggestion at all either player responded to her texts or behaved inappropriately.

Describing the texts as a “massive red flag”, he told The Sun On Sunday: “We were out at a karaoke bar and having drinks, having fun.
“The bar closed, so we went home and Kate wanted to carry on drinking or playing drinking games with her friends. I was tired, so I said ‘I’m gonna go to sleep’.
“Kate went upstairs with her friends. I woke up at like 5-6 am and she wasn’t there.
“I walked upstairs to find where she was and then, on the phone, she was messaging the footballers. It was Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker.”
JJ, who was with Katie for two years, says the footie stars did not respond, but the fact she had tried to contact them rang alarm bells.
He said: “Obviously there was a lot of drink involved, so I was able to kind of give the benefit of the doubt and see past that. But in the back of your mind, you’re kind of thinking ‘I wouldn’t do that’.”

Everton midfielder Grealish is in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood.
Last November, Katie shocked the audience at one of her live shows with ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona by claiming she and Grealish had once kissed.
In 2024, she fawned over his legs on her podcast with sister Sophie Price when they discussed his omission from the Euro 2024 squad.
Katie joked: “We won’t be seeing those legs then, will we.”
That year, Katie’s ex-fiance, Carl Woods, also claimed he caught her sexting an unnamed England footballer while they were on holiday in Turkey in 2020.
He accused Katie of trying to send video messages while drunk in a bar. When he confronted her in their hotel room, she ran out and fell in the car park, shattering both feet, he said.
JJ said he wanted to address speculation surrounding the end of his relationship with Katie and the beginning of her new one with Lee.
He said: “Given what’s happened and the lack of respect and her behaviour, I’ve got no real choice but to say my side.”
JJ, who split from Katie at the beginning of January, insists he had never heard of Lee before receiving online messages from people congratulating him on his engagement after mistaking him for Katie’s new man.
He said: “When you break up ten days ago and then they’re engaged, there’s a lot of things that go through your head.
“I don’t think there’s many people that have been in that situation.”
JJ now suspects Katie met Lee over six months ago on a Dubai trip, not as recently as she claimed.
He said: “Kate was in Dubai last summer and she extended her stay there a couple of times.

“I’m so laid-back and chilled, I had no problem with that. She was with her friends.
“When she came home she asked one of our friends to get her from the airport and, to me, in a relationship, the first person I want to see if I haven’t seen them for two weeks is my partner.
“That felt a bit odd. But back then there was not even a thought anything might have been going on.
“It was like an amber flag I decided not to pursue. It’s just not what I’m like.”
Questions were raised about the authenticity of Katie and Lee’s marriage after he was branded a fantasist for faking pictures with reality TV star Kim Kardashian and billionaire Tesla boss Elon Musk.
The Sun revealed Lee has been wed twice and proposed to another woman the same way he popped the question to Katie months later.
JJ has been consoled by Katie’s family, who were not at her wedding. He said: “They apologised and wished me love. They had no clue.
“They wanted to let me know that they were in the dark as well.”
