Katie Price Speaks Out on Whirlwind Romance and Dubai Wedding
Reality television star and former glamour model Katie Price has broken her silence following her unexpected return to the United Kingdom after a surprise wedding ceremony in Dubai. The 47-year-old celebrity, known to many by her stage name Jordan, has publicly declared her feelings for new husband Lee Andrews, whom she married just one week after their initial meeting.
Heartfelt Social Media Declaration
In a candid Instagram Story posted on Tuesday morning, Price addressed the considerable media attention surrounding her rapid nuptials. "Despite all the noise that's going on, I miss you Lee, and I love you unconditionally," she stated directly to the camera. The television personality made a point of showing her wedding ring, adding "And yeah, [my ring] is on the right hand" in what appeared to be a response to speculation about the authenticity of her marriage.
Price further amplified her romantic sentiment by reposting a photograph of their intertwined hands originally shared by Andrews, setting the visual to Lukas Graham's track "Love Someone." This digital declaration comes as the star finds herself back on British soil without her new spouse, having traveled separately following their unconventional wedding ceremony.
Return Journey and Family Concerns
During her journey home, Price took to Instagram to share details about her travel experience and promote a CBD oil product she uses. "Hello everyone. So I'm now back in the UK. I can't wait to get home. Obviously the time difference. I didn't sleep on the plane," she explained in the video update. The media personality went on to discuss her sleep routine and thanked supporters for their messages, noting she had "a lot to catch up on."
Meanwhile, sources close to the situation have revealed that Price's family were completely unaware of both the engagement and wedding plans. "Kate married Lee without telling anyone – the whole family are completely horrified," an insider disclosed. "It is moving very fast and they are concerned about Kate’s frame of mind. No one knows who Lee really is and whether he is any good for her. It’s all total chaos at the moment and no one has a clue what is happening."
Unconventional Wedding Details
The ceremony itself was notably modest, with only an officiator present to witness the union. In keeping with the spontaneous nature of the event, Price wore a £12 dress purchased from fast-fashion website Shein, while the couple had reportedly purchased their wedding rings before they had even met in person.
A source commented on the unusual wedding attire, noting: "Katie married her Richard Gere in a bargain fashion dress from Shein – it hardly screams Pretty Woman does it?" This reference to the famous romantic film highlights the stark contrast between cinematic wedding fantasies and Price's real-life economical approach to her latest marriage.
Relationship History and Public Scrutiny
Price's romantic history has been extensively documented by British media. After rising to fame in the late 1990s, she married singer Peter Andre following their meeting on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! That union produced two children before ending in divorce in 2009. Subsequent marriages to MMA fighter Alex Reid and carpenter Kieran Hayler followed, with the latter ending in 2018 amid allegations of infidelity.
More recently, Price was engaged to personal trainer Kris Boyson and later dated former Married at First Sight participant JJ Slater throughout 2024 before that relationship concluded toward the end of last year. This latest development with Andrews represents yet another dramatic turn in the celebrity's much-publicised personal life, ensuring continued public fascination with her romantic choices and declarations of unconditional love.
