In a surprising development that has captivated both fans and critics, former glamour model Katie Price has officially changed her name just days after her impromptu fourth marriage to entrepreneur Lee Andrews. The 47-year-old celebrity, known for her high-profile personal life, stunned her family and followers by announcing on Sunday that she had tied the knot in Dubai after knowing Andrews for merely a week.
Whirlwind Romance Leads to Legal Name Change
The newlywed couple's relationship has moved at breakneck speed, with Andrews revealing on his Instagram account that Price has now adopted the surname Andrews, becoming Katie P Andrews. This legal change follows their Dubai ceremony, which occurred with minimal warning to those closest to the television personality.
Extravagant Gifts and Business Claims Under Scrutiny
Adding to the dramatic narrative, Price has claimed that her new husband, who previously declared himself a millionaire, purchased a brand new Ferrari worth approximately £180,000 as a wedding gift. She took to Instagram to showcase the luxury vehicle, which typically commands that price in the Dubai market where the couple wed.
However, the celebrations have been overshadowed by mounting questions about Andrews' business background and professional claims. The Daily Mail has reported that many of his assertions appear artificial, with his social media and LinkedIn profiles featuring numerous AI-generated images. These include photographs supposedly alongside billionaire Elon Musk and an AI-generated clip of Kim Kardashian signing merchandise from his company.
Addressing the Controversy Directly
In response to growing skepticism about his business accomplishments, Andrews has taken to Instagram to share images of his passport and business licenses in what appears to be an attempt to validate his claims. He has also posted multiple videos addressing confusion about wedding details, specifically clarifying that both he and Price wear their rings on the correct left hands despite camera reversal effects that made them appear otherwise.
The entrepreneur, who describes himself as a "global magnate and philanthropist" with a PhD from Cambridge, has faced accusations of being a "Walter Mitty" type fantasist. Investigations suggest his educational background and business connections may not align with his public persona, with his Nottinghamshire comprehensive school education contrasting sharply with his claimed Cambridge credentials.
Physical Symbols of Commitment
Beyond the legal name change, the couple has further solidified their union with matching tattoos featuring each other's names on their hands. Andrews has shared videos showcasing these permanent markings while professing his devotion to his new wife through captions like "You have completely ruined me for anyone else" and "Show me who can pull this off better than my gorgeous wife Katie P Andrews."
Currently, the newlyweds are physically separated as Price has returned to England while Andrews remains in Dubai. This geographical distance has done little to slow their public declarations of affection or address the swirling controversies about the authenticity of Andrews' business empire and the rapid nature of their relationship.
