Who is JJ?

JJ, who is from Essex, is the founder and owner of a fashion brand called Fully Blessed.

He first rose to fame when he joined E4’s Married At First Sight UK in 2023, but sadly he was unlucky in his search for love. 

The reality star was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after being rushed to hospital days before Christmas.

JJ was informed by the nurse that ‘from this day forward your life will never be the same’ after learning that his diagnosis at 31 means he now has to inject himself with insulin four times a day and regulate his food consumption.

How old is JJ?

JJ, which stands for John Joe, is 31-years-old. 

Who was JJ married to on the E4 show?

JJ was originally matched with Bianca Petronzi, but admitted that he wasn’t attracted to her.

He ended up ditching Bianca for Ella Morgan resulting in Bianca and Ella’s partner, Nathanial Valentino leaving the social experiment.

The pair tried their best to make things work, but it wasn’t meant to be, and at final vows both Ella and JJ revealed they thought they were better off as friends.

After pictures emerged of the Katie and JJ looking close, sources close to Ella, 29, say the reality star, who is transgender, is furious and feels ‘betrayed’ as she had become good friends with Katie.
