The mother of Katie Price's new husband has publicly addressed the surprise wedding that has captivated the nation, revealing details about her son's whirlwind romance with the former glamour model. Trisha, a clairvoyant from Nottingham and mother to Dubai-based entrepreneur Lee Andrews, has spoken exclusively about the union that reportedly left Katie's own family completely unaware.
Mother's Perspective on the Surprise Union
Contrary to widespread reports suggesting complete family secrecy, Trisha insists her son did communicate his wedding plans to her directly. "He did tell me that the wedding was happening," she revealed to The Mirror. "He spoke to me and if he is happy, I am happy - he's my son, and that's all that matters." This statement comes after Katie Price's family admitted they were "left in the dark" about the nuptials, with sources indicating they haven't spoken to the star since she walked down the aisle.
Defending Her Son and New Daughter-in-Law
Trisha has taken a notably neutral stance regarding her new daughter-in-law, who is now on her fourth marriage. "I've always been very neutral about her," she explained. "Everyone deserves a chance, you should never judge anyone in life." She also disputed claims about her son's marital history, insisting that contrary to media reports, Lee has not "been married twice."
The groom's mother expressed her fundamental philosophy about the union: "As long as they are happy then I am happy." This sentiment appears particularly significant given the context of Lee Andrews' recent romantic history.
A Pattern of Proposals Emerges
Investigations have revealed striking similarities between Lee Andrews' proposal to Katie Price and his previous engagement to former flame Alana Percival just four months earlier. Both proposals occurred in the exact same Dubai hotel room, featured identical floral arrangements with roses wrapped in brown paper, and involved the same ring.
Rose petals and tealights spelled out "Will you marry me" on the floor of the luxurious spa at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab in both instances. Alana Percival, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Katie Price with tattoos, long hair extensions and fake tan, reportedly called off her engagement after growing suspicious of Lee's intentions.
Lee Andrews' Complex Romantic History
Before proposing to Katie Price, making him her ninth fiancé, Lee Andrews was married for several years to Palestinian-born, Qatari-raised health and fitness coach Dina Taji, whom he met in a Dubai gym in early 2020. He described Dina as "a beautiful human being" and "my person I love her unconditionally" to friends online.
Following his split from Dina, Lee proposed to Alana Percival, who had reportedly invested in one of his companies. The businessman, who has been based in Dubai for 21 years and documents his flash lifestyle on social media, claims to be a multimillionaire and serves as CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 while also identifying as an "Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness."
Family Reactions and Fallout
Katie Price's whirlwind romance and subsequent marriage comes just days after her split from boyfriend JJ Slater, following two years of dating. The MAFS UK star, currently in Miami with his family while "healing his broken heart," appeared to send a clear signal about his feelings regarding the news, posting a shirtless mirror selfie onboard a boat in Florida while flashing a wide grin and peace sign.
Sources indicate the news came as a complete shock to JJ Slater, who was reportedly "blindsided" by both the breakup and subsequent marriage. Last week, the Daily Mail revealed that Katie ended her romance with JJ after realizing she didn't see a future with him, despite having spent Christmas together and discussing potentially having a child.
The Wedding Aftermath
Katie Price shared the first photograph with her new husband Lee Andrews just hours after tying the knot, posting a loved-up selfie of the couple cosying up in coordinating leather jackets with the caption: "Happiest Mr and Mrs." The former glamour model is said to have left her family "completely horrified" by her shock fourth marriage, having reportedly met the businessman just days before the wedding ceremony.
As the dust settles on this unexpected celebrity union, Trisha's measured response provides a family perspective amid the media frenzy, while the striking similarities between proposals raise questions about the nature of this rapid romantic development.
