Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, has broken his silence with a motivational social media post mere hours after news emerged of their surprise wedding. The couple tied the knot in a whirlwind ceremony over the weekend, just days after announcing their engagement, leaving many close to the former glamour model stunned.
Motivational Message Amidst Wedding Revelations
On Sunday, Andrews took to his Instagram account, which boasts over 118,000 followers, to share an enigmatic yet uplifting quote. The post read: "If you quit when it gets hard, you were never serious to begin with." This public display of positivity comes as details about his complex romantic history begin to surface, adding layers of intrigue to the sudden union.
A Rapid Romance Raises Eyebrows
The relationship between Price and Andrews has progressed at a breathtaking pace. The pair only met in person for the first time last week, yet they have already solidified their bond with matching tattoos bearing each other's names. This rapid escalation has reportedly caused significant concern among Price's inner circle, with sources describing friends and family as "deeply worried" about her wellbeing.
One source close to the situation revealed: "Her friends and family are deeply worried she needs proper help. They're worried she isn't thinking straight." Another added to The Sun: "Kate married Lee without telling anyone – the whole family are completely horrified. It is moving very fast and they are concerned about Kate's frame of mind."
Complicated Past Comes to Light
As the wedding news broke, attention turned to Andrews's recent romantic entanglements. It has emerged that just several months ago, in September, he proposed to fitness enthusiast Alana Percival shortly after meeting her on a Dubai beach. That relationship was short-lived, reportedly ending after Percival grew suspicious of his intentions.
Prior to that, Andrews was married to Qatari-raised health coach Dina Taji, whom he met at a gym in 2020. He has spoken publicly about admiring "the kindness of Arabic culture and Islamic customs" and described his ex-wife as "the perfect woman." In social media posts from earlier this year, he praised not only his wife but her entire family, stating: "I fell in love with a woman first of all the perfect woman you know before I even entered into the realm of Islam... I was accepted by the family, they're very forward thinking."
Price's Perspective on the Relationship
Despite the concerns swirling around them, Katie Price appears genuinely happy with her new husband. She described their connection as "esoteric" and explained to The Sun how their relationship developed entirely through social media before they ever met in person.
"We connected [by] both checking each others’ socials and quickly realised: 'Wow, this is for me'," Price said. "In the old-fashioned way, first by words which captured us both. That evolved deeper as we connected further within days [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other. All this without even meeting, we let fate, but you could say destiny, decide."
Unanswered Questions and Family Fears
The secrecy surrounding the wedding and the speed of the relationship has left Price's loved ones anxious. Sources indicate that family members are particularly troubled by the lack of information about Andrews's background and intentions.
"No one knows who Lee really is and whether he is any good for her," a source disclosed. "It's all total chaos at the moment and no one has a clue what is happening." This sentiment contrasts sharply with Andrews's publicly projected positivity and Price's own declarations of happiness, creating a compelling narrative of contrasting perspectives surrounding this unexpected celebrity union.
