Katie Price has embarked on her fourth marriage in a whirlwind ceremony that has left her family reeling. The former glamour model, 47, tied the knot with entrepreneur Lee Andrews in an intimate Dubai garden setting over the weekend, mere days after his surprise proposal.
A Rapid Romance That Shocked Showbiz
The reality star's sudden engagement announcement on Friday came as a complete surprise to the entertainment world, arriving just days after her breakup from boyfriend JJ Slater. Price then accelerated the relationship at breakneck speed, proceeding directly to marriage in what insiders describe as a move that has horrified her family.
Family Left in the Dark
Sources close to the Price family reveal they were completely unaware of the wedding plans and have not spoken to Katie since she walked down the aisle. Her mother Amy and all five of her children - Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 10 - were reportedly kept in the dark about the nuptials.
"Kate's family are dumbstruck," a source told The Daily Mail. "To see she had got engaged after flying to Dubai - literally just after she had arrived was crazy. The fact she has now married him the following day is even more shocking. No one knows who Lee is, they know nothing about him."
Ceremony Details and Concerning Parallels
The wedding took place in a beautiful garden adorned with rose petals, where the couple exchanged vows read from an iPad while holding hands. Photographs from the ceremony show Price gazing adoringly at her new husband while wearing a revealing cut-out dress that showcased her assets alongside her substantial diamond engagement ring.
Identical Proposal Patterns Emerge
Disturbing similarities have emerged between Price's engagement and Andrews' previous proposal to ex-girlfriend Alana Percival just last year. Both women received proposals featuring rose petals and tea lights spelling out "Will you marry me" on luxurious spa floors, accompanied by bouquets wrapped in identical brown paper.
Even more concerning, the engagement ring Price now wears appears to be the same diamond piece Andrews gave to his ex-wife Dina Taji merely four months ago. The ring is estimated to be worth approximately £40,000.
Andrews' Background and Previous Relationships
Lee Andrews, who has been based in Dubai for 21 years, presents himself as a multimillionaire entrepreneur. According to his social media profiles, he serves as CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and describes himself as an "Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness."
The businessman has been married twice before and was engaged to Alana Percival after his separation from ex-wife Dina Taji. Percival, who bears a striking resemblance to Price with her tattoos, long hair extensions, and fake tan, reportedly called off her engagement after growing suspicious of Andrews' intentions.
Friends Express Concerns
Those close to Price have expressed worries about the speed of the relationship and Andrews' motives. "Her friends hope she's smart enough to question his motives," a source told The Sun, highlighting concerns about the entrepreneur's pattern of behaviour.
Reaction from Ex-Partner JJ Slater
Price's recent ex-boyfriend JJ Slater, from whom she split just days before the engagement, appeared to send a message about the sudden marriage through social media. The 32-year-old MAFS UK star posted a shirtless mirror selfie from a boat in Florida, flashing a peace sign and wide grin while captioning the image to suggest he was "healing his broken heart."
Sources indicate Slater was completely blindsided by the news of Price's marriage, having genuinely seen a future with her before their recent breakup.
Price's Matrimonial History
This marriage marks Price's fourth trip down the aisle, following previous unions with Peter Andre (2005-2009), Alex Reid (2010-2012), and Kieran Hayler (2013-2021). The reality star has been engaged eight times previously, making Andrews her ninth fiancé before becoming her fourth husband.
Health Concerns Amplify Worries
The sudden wedding has intensified existing concerns about Price's wellbeing following her dramatic weight loss in recent months. Last week, fans expressed alarm after photographs showed her looking "worryingly thin" during a shopping trip with daughter Princess.
Price addressed these concerns on her podcast, acknowledging her gaunt appearance and revealing she has booked medical tests to investigate the cause of her weight loss. "I know I look gaunt, I look like I'm ill - hence why I'm going to the doctors tomorrow," she told her sister Sophie.
Social Media Revelations and Matching Tattoos
Price revealed that she and Andrews connected through social media before meeting in person, with their relationship developing rapidly through digital communication. The couple reportedly purchased wedding rings - including a diamond Cartier band for Price - before ever meeting face to face.
They also got matching tattoos of each other's names early in their courtship, with fresh ink visible in photographs from their wedding weekend. Price described their connection as "esoteric" and told The Sun: "What we have, they haven't even invented the words."
The newlyweds have since shared loved-up selfies on social media, with Price captioning one image "Happiest Mr and Mrs" as they posed in coordinating leather jackets. However, family members and close friends remain deeply concerned about the speed and secrecy surrounding this latest chapter in Price's turbulent romantic history.
