In a whirlwind romantic development, Katie Price has announced her engagement for the ninth time, this time to Dubai-based entrepreneur Lee Andrews. The revelation came via a joint Instagram post on 23 January, just weeks after Price confirmed her separation from former partner JJ Slater.
The Surprise Announcement and New Fiancé
The twice-married Lee Andrews, who claims to be a multimillionaire, and Katie Price made their relationship and engagement public in a single, unexpected social media disclosure. This marks a rapid new chapter for Price, who stated her previous relationship with JJ Slater was "over ages ago," suggesting the split predated Christmas.
Lee Andrews: Business Ventures and Wealth
Originally from Manchester, Andrews has resided in Dubai for 21 years. His professional profile paints a picture of a diverse and ambitious businessman. His Instagram biography lists him as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027. A December post featured him alongside tech magnate Elon Musk near a drone-like vehicle, hinting at his industry connections.
Further business interests are detailed online. His profile is linked to a website promoting an 'Aura Vehicle', described as "launching soon." Additionally, Andrews is noted as an investor in high-profile companies, including Space X and Hybrid Fitness. Perhaps most notably, his social media claims involvement in "government contracts" valued in the billions of dollars ("$B").
Social Media Influence and Past Relationships
Beyond his corporate endeavours, Andrews commands a significant social media presence. With over 111,000 followers on Instagram, his account is eligible for monetisation through sponsored content. Industry estimates suggest accounts with a follower count exceeding 100,000 can earn between $5,000 and $10,000 per sponsored post, depending on the agreement terms.
Prior to his engagement to Price, Andrews was in a relationship with Palestinian-born influencer Dina Taji from approximately 2020 to 2024. In late 2021, Taji shared on Instagram that the pair were collaborating on building an animal shelter together.
Symbolic Clues and Family Concerns
The exact timeline of Price and Andrews's courtship remains unclear. However, the couple appear to share a symbolic clue: complimentary tattoos on their hands. Each tattoo features one of their names alongside the numerals "11.11," potentially indicating a significant date, such as 11 November.
This rapid engagement has reportedly caused concern among Price's family, who are said to have discovered the news via Instagram, mirroring the public's surprise at the announcement.
