Katie Price's sudden marriage to businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai last month has caused serious fallout behind the scenes, with none of her inner circle present on the big day. The 47-year-old tied the knot with Lee just weeks after meeting him, leaving her five children and other family members shocked and concerned.
Princess Andre, Katie's 18-year-old daughter, admitted in a new interview that she still hasn't met her mother's new husband almost a month after the ceremony. She described her mum as "crazy" but insisted she is "happy if she's happy." Katie's sister Sophie Price and mother Amy Price were also caught off guard by the nuptials.
Last week, Sophie 'liked' a post on Instagram by Katie's ex JJ Slater, who had recently split from Katie after a two-year relationship. A source told The Mirror that Katie's family are very much 'Team JJ' and have been supporting him since the breakup. "They think the way he's been treated throughout this has been awful," the source said, adding that the family believes JJ was one of the nicest guys Katie had been with.
Lee, 43, added to the tension by sharing an Instagram story hinting at a desire to have a baby, which sparked pregnancy rumours. However, a spokesperson for Katie has since confirmed she is not pregnant. Katie has previously been public about her fertility struggles, causing alarm among her loved ones.
Relationship expert Teresha Young explained that sudden life decisions like this can trigger deep emotional responses within close families. "Family rifts like this can have a real and lasting impact on family dynamics, especially when big decisions happen suddenly and without people feeling included or informed," she said. Katie's mother Amy is living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a terminal lung disease, and has previously spoken of her concern for Katie's wellbeing.
The insider added that Katie's actions are putting more distance between herself and her family. "She won't be happy seeing that her sister has liked her ex's post - no matter how nice he is, he's still an ex," the source said. "Underneath, she knows she's treated JJ terribly and that he's a nice guy."
