Peter Andre's spokesperson issued a blistering response after Lee Andrews, Katie Price's husband, claimed he had adopted her five children and that the couple is trying for a baby of their own. The statement described the remarks as 'categorically untrue' and 'yet another lie' from the self-proclaimed millionaire, who was recently released from prison.
Lee Andrews' Controversial Claims
In a personalized Cameo video, Lee Andrews told a fan: 'I haven't got children, but we're trying. I've adopted five of them. I love my wife and I love her children.' He made the declaration despite having only ever spoken to Katie's children via FaceTime. In another video, he said: 'Obviously, five beautiful children that I get to call my own now. Handful.'
Peter Andre shares two children with Katie Price: Princess and Junior Andre. His spokesperson clarified that the children have not even met Lee Andrews, adding: 'They haven't even met him!'
Peter Andre's Cryptic Social Media Post
Peter himself took to Instagram and appeared to address the matter indirectly. He wrote: 'When you get told you responded to something that you didn't respond to and only found out that you allegedly responded by reading out it is quite something. Ah well, at least it's summer.' The post suggested that the response was not initiated by him.
Katie Price Left 'Genuinely Shaken'
According to a source speaking to Closer, Katie was 'genuinely shaken' by Lee's claims about her children. 'Katie has been left genuinely shaken after realising some of the things Lee has been saying don't quite add up, especially around the claims about meeting the kids,' the source said. 'It's made her stop and reassess everything, and for the first time she's starting to see through what she now feels has been a lot of smoke and mirrors.'
The source added: 'There's a sense of relief from those around Katie that certain inconsistencies are coming to light, in the hope it acts as a bit of a wake-up call. At the same time, it's knocked her confidence massively, because she's now questioning who and what she can actually believe. Katie is feeling very vulnerable and doesn't know who to trust, which has led her to pull back from almost everyone.'
Previous Concerns About Lee's Claims
This is not the first time Lee's remarks about Katie's children have raised eyebrows. He previously alleged that he had met some of her brood, thought to be her three oldest kids: Princess, Junior, and Harvey. However, her representative later denied this, and it emerged that he had only spoken to them on FaceTime, not in person. Katie also shared that she had no plans to introduce him to her youngsters until she had got to know him better.
Katie left fans shocked when she announced her marriage to Lee following a trip to Dubai in January, just days after meeting him. Their relationship sparked concern from her loved ones, who questioned his intentions after he had not joined her in the UK. It later emerged that he had a travel ban and was unable to leave the UAE. Months after their wedding, she confessed: 'For me to introduce him to the kids, I won't be introducing him to the kids yet, because I want to get to know him more myself.'
