Katie Price's Family Express Fears Over New Husband's Financial Claims
Katie Price's closest relatives are reportedly gripped by anxiety that she might transfer funds to her new spouse, Lee Andrews, following their rapid marriage. The former glamour model, aged 47, stunned her fanbase late last month by announcing she had wed a man she had known for only a few days.
Whirlwind Romance and Geographical Challenges
Price initiated contact with Andrews through social media before flying to Dubai to meet him in person. Their union has since sparked logistical concerns, as Andrews resides in Dubai while Katie maintains her home in the United Kingdom. Despite rebuilding her career through adult subscription platforms and television appearances after two bankruptcies, those near her are allegedly troubled by her new husband's influence.
Sources indicate that Katie's family members are specifically apprehensive about her potentially financing everything or being manipulated into providing money to Andrews. "They're all so worried that Katie is paying for everything or being tricked or talked into handing over money to him," an insider disclosed. "He says he's a millionaire, but it's not clear if he actually has any money or how he makes it. Katie's only just earning money again after the bankruptcy, so they're all scared what will happen while she's in Dubai."
Katie Price's Defiant Response to Public Scrutiny
Katie Price has publicly addressed the mounting concerns, asserting her independence and maturity. In a social media statement, she remarked, "I bet everyone's thinking what’s going on in the Katie Price world. Well you guys tell me because I'm reading it as it unfolds, just like you guys." She continued, "I'm fully aware like everyone else, I see stuff, I get sent stuff. What I want everyone to know is, I'm a grown a**e woman. I'm 48 this year, I'm not a young kid. I've learned a lot in the past few years, through therapy and learning to love myself." Price emphasized her current happiness as the paramount factor, urging others not to worry since she herself is unperturbed.
Web of Deception Unraveled in Lee Andrews' Background
The family's fears are compounded by revelations about Lee Andrews' questionable past and extravagant assertions. Investigations have uncovered that weeks prior to proposing to Katie, Andrews was detained in a Dubai prison while soliciting funds, despite his self-proclaimed billionaire status. Furthermore, a pattern of dubious claims regarding his professional life has emerged.
Andrews' LinkedIn profile lists an array of prestigious roles, including founding Aura Sustainable Vehicles & Energy BVI and Blue Diamond Group, along with an appointment to the Abu Dhabi Prestige Office. Notably, he asserts membership on the Board of Advisors for the Labour Party since May 2015, involving association with His Majesty's Government and a non-seated board position in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire. However, a Labour Party source has categorically denied this, stating, "We don't have a 'Board of Advisors' and this individual doesn't work with us." Additionally, the Conservative Party was in power during that period, with David Cameron as Prime Minister, contradicting Andrews' timeline.
Andrews also claims to hold the position of Director of Philanthropy at The King's Trust (formerly The Prince's Trust) since April 2018, serving as a Scottish house ambassador by royal appointment for sustainability and environmental development. Yet, verification confirms no such role exists within the Trust, and there is no record of Andrews or Weslee Andrews associated with the organization.
When approached for comments, Katie Price's spokesperson declined to respond, and Lee Andrews did not reply to inquiries. The situation continues to unfold, leaving Katie Price's family in a state of heightened vigilance over her financial and personal well-being.
