Junior Andre goes public with his girlfriend Jasmine Orr on social media as the couple share a kiss while celebrating his 19th birthday

Junior Andre went public with his new girlfriend Jasmine Orr while celebrating his 19th birthday on Wednesday.

Posing for photos, the couple shared a kiss while ringing his day with a romantic dinner and drinks, marking his first Instagram post with Jasmine, 23. 

Junior first revealed he had a 'secret' girlfriend in April, and even claimed he would even turn down Dua Lipa for her.

Jasmine has already been on TV having appeared on Celebs Go Dating last year when she locked lips with Love Island's Adam Collard, 28, on the show amid his romance with Lottie Moss.

Sharing the photos, Junior wrote: 'It’s my Birthday!! Wouldn’t want to spend it any other way #lovedup.'

The update comes after his mother Katie Price revealed what she thinks of Junior's new girlfriend.

And speaking on her Katie Price Show podcast with her sister Sophie on Wednesday, Katie defended Junior's age-gap romance and said she 'can't wait' to meet Jasmine. 

'She's so pretty!' Katie, 45, said, 'I remember watching her on Celebs Go Dating.'

The mum of five insisted she isn't worried about Jasmine being five years older than her son, explaining: 'Isn't it funny when your kids get older and they get in relationships and you meet their girlfriends and boyfriends as they're adults, she's an adult.'

'They're not like young kids at school.'

Katie, who is currently in her own age gap relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, continued:  'What's weird is she's 23 and he's 18, see? You can always get an age gap in relationships. As you get older an age gap doesn't matter.' 

Katie admitted that Junior hasn't told her about Jasmine himself, with her daughter Princess providing the gossip after meeting her alongside their dad Peter Andre. 

Answering a fan question about whether parents should be honest about their feelings toward a child's girlfriend or boyfriend, Katie recalled a messy past experience with Junior.  

'There's being honest and there's being honest with how you feel about your son's girlfriends.'

'Once in the past I commented about one of Junior's girlfriend, this was years ago. Because they're all in love and all of this they think they're perfect. Sometimes it's not worth saying anything. Just leave them to it.' 

Jasmine likely won't be too nervous about meeting her boyfriend's celeb mum, thanks to her own previous brushes with fame. 

Jasmine's mutual friends on her social media include Love Island's Tom Clare, Curtis Pritchard, Jack Fincham and Coco Lodge.

Mollie Salmon, Amber Wise, Maxwell Samuda and Boyzone's Ronan Keating's son Jack Keating are also among the stars following the beauty.
