Katie Price is reportedly preparing to leave the United Kingdom and relocate to Dubai with her new husband, Lee Andrews, in search of a "fresh start" as she grapples with severe financial difficulties. The 47-year-old former glamour model, who shocked fans last month by revealing her fourth marriage to the so-called businessman, has allegedly put down a deposit on a property in the United Arab Emirates.
Mounting Financial Pressures Force Move
Price was first declared bankrupt in November 2019 and faced a second bankruptcy in March 2024 over an unpaid tax bill exceeding £750,000. Her financial struggles forced her to sell her West Sussex home, known as the Mucky Mansion, for a reduced price of £1.15 million in January last year after she failed to maintain mortgage payments. Currently, she earns a living by selling explicit content on the subscription platform OnlyFans, but sources indicate she can no longer afford rent in England.
Family Anxieties and Scam Fears
A source close to the situation told The Mirror that Price owes significant money in the UK and lacks the funds to continue renting there. She plans to base herself in Dubai with Andrews, whose business is located there, while maintaining occasional stays at a friend's place in the UK. However, her family has expressed deep concerns about her hasty marriage and the decision to purchase property in Dubai, with insiders describing them as "very worried" and anxious that this could be a potential scam.
Another source revealed to The Sun that Price has already signed a contract and put money down on a home in the UAE, fueling fears among loved ones about Andrews' motives. This apprehension is compounded by allegations from his past relationships, including claims that he spent three weeks in a UAE jail for allegedly forging an ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan, though he denies these accusations.
Impact on Family Dynamics
Price will not be bringing her eldest son, Harvey, who is 23 and has Prader-Willi Syndrome, to Dubai. Harvey resides in an independent living facility with round-the-clock care, and Price is reportedly committed to not disrupting his stable environment. Instead, she plans to fly back and forth to visit him, with insiders stressing that she is a "great mum" who would never abandon her son.
Honeymoon and Ongoing Controversies
The mother-of-five is currently on her honeymoon in Dubai with Andrews and was initially due to return home quickly but has remained in the country. In a recent YouTube video, Price defended her marriage, stating she is a "grown woman" who knows what she is doing, despite public warnings from several of Andrews' ex-partners urging her to "run for the hills."
Her daughter, Princess, is said to be "completely horrified" by the wedding and helped stage an intervention by connecting Price with Andrews' exes to hear their concerns. Princess is described as "utterly heartbroken and deeply concerned" about her mother's decisions. Representatives for Price and Princess have declined to comment on these matters.
As Price and Andrews continue their honeymoon, posting romantic, filtered images on social media, the future remains uncertain. With financial woes driving her relocation and family fears mounting over her new marriage, Katie Price's move to Dubai marks a dramatic chapter in her tumultuous public life.
