Katie Price is currently on her honeymoon with new husband Lee Andrews in Dubai, following a whirlwind romance that saw them meet, get engaged, and marry all within January 2026. Their social media posts depict a blissful time, but revelations from Price's ex-husband, Alex Reid, paint a starkly different picture of what honeymoons with the celebrity can entail.
Whirlwind Romance and Marriage
Katie Price shocked her followers in January 2026 by introducing Lee Andrews as her fiancé after just days of knowing each other, and they tied the knot that same month. This rapid progression sparked widespread speculation about the relationship's authenticity and longevity. Price, known for her high-profile marriages, has now embarked on her fourth marital journey, with Andrews following previous husbands Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler.
Alex Reid's Candid Revelations
Alex Reid, who was married to Katie Price from 2010 to 2012 after a six-month courtship, has shared exclusive insights with the Mirror about their honeymoon experiences. Reid, a former mixed martial arts champion, described feeling like a "lamb to the slaughter" in the media spotlight during their time together.
Las Vegas Honeymoon Drama
Reid recounted their first wedding in Las Vegas in early 2010, which he now views as more about showbiz than romance. "I tried to be open-minded, but looking back, I realised that it was less about romance and more about showbiz," he said. The couple visited a strip club during this trip, which Reid initially thought would be a fun adventure, akin to combining a stag do, hen do, and wedding party. However, the experience quickly soured.
He revealed that an argument erupted after Price attempted to get a job at the strip club with the manager. "I was really angry. And I said, 'I'm going home.' She left with me, but I was like, 'That's not on.' So we had an argument in Vegas," Reid explained. This conflict marred their first honeymoon, setting a tense tone for their marriage.
Second Honeymoon and Strip Club Repeat
The couple had a second wedding at their home in Woldingham, but Reid's wedding night was equally disappointing. He recalled being upset and telling his mother, "I haven't even spoken to Kate all day." Their subsequent honeymoon featured another strip club visit, which Reid admitted was not his choice. "That was Kate that wanted to go to the strip club," he said, adding that he went along with it despite not enjoying such venues.
Reflecting on these experiences, Reid emphasized his personal growth, stating, "I've learned a lot since then. And what I really want is a connection and intimacy. I definitely grew from those experiences, but I didn't get that with Katie." Their marriage ultimately ended in divorce by March 2012, after separating in January 2011.
Contrast with Current Honeymoon
In stark contrast to Reid's accounts, Katie Price and Lee Andrews' honeymoon in Dubai appears to be filled with smiles and affection, as seen on their Instagram posts. Price is reportedly planning to stay in Dubai permanently, with sources indicating she has put money down on a property there. This move aligns with her pattern of diving headfirst into relationships, as noted by an insider: "She always says the same thing [about being happy alone and not needing a man in her life] but she’ll be throwing herself into the next relationship."
The Mirror has reached out to Katie Price's representatives for comment on these revelations, but no response has been provided yet. As Price enjoys her new marital bliss, the candid memories shared by Alex Reid offer a revealing glimpse into the complexities of her past relationships and the media frenzy that often surrounds them.
