Katie Price has openly defied her family's warnings by announcing her intention to remarry her new husband, Lee Andrews, in a second ceremony scheduled for Friday. The 47-year-old glamour model sparked significant concern among her loved ones after she tied the knot with the entrepreneur in a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai last month, just one week after they first met.
Family Disapproval and Podcast Pause
Katie's sister, Sophie, has previously hinted at her disapproval of the marriage, stating that their joint podcast would be paused indefinitely. Sophie shared a video of rolling British fields with the caption: 'This and never stepping foot in Dubai,' following news of the wedding, indicating her distress over the situation.
Support for Ex-Boyfriend JJ
Sources claim that Katie's family, including Sophie, continue to support her ex-boyfriend, JJ, from whom she split in January after a two-year relationship. JJ posted a cryptic social media message declaring he was 'so back,' which Sophie liked, further straining family ties. An insider revealed: 'Katie's family are very much "Team JJ." They think the way he's been treated throughout this has been awful.'
Instagram Poll and Wedding Dress Debate
Despite the backlash, Katie has doubled down on her plans, sharing a cartoon version of herself in a wedding dress on her Instagram Story. She asked followers: 'Should this be my wedding dress?' and included a poll for voting, accompanied by a Union Jack flag. This move highlights her determination to proceed with the second wedding.
Denial of Allegations and Explosive Rant
Katie was forced to deny claims that Lee punched Kerry Katona's boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, during a trip to Dubai, which reportedly strained her 22-year friendship with the Atomic Kitten singer. She insisted on Instagram Stories that no altercation occurred, stating: 'Lee has never ever been aggressive, angry, or spoken to me in any sort of way.'
In an explosive rant, Katie branded Lee's ex-girlfriend an 'irrelevant troll' after the ex accused Lee of misconduct. Katie responded fiercely, asserting her position as Lee's wife and hinting at a pregnancy, saying: 'I'm having his child.'
Honeymoon and Future Plans
Despite the ongoing concerns, Katie and Lee have been enjoying their honeymoon in the UAE and have hinted at expanding their family. Katie expressed excitement about their future, mentioning plans for a large UK wedding with family, friends, and special guests like Kerry and Paolo.
A representative for Katie Price declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail, leaving many questions unanswered as the drama unfolds.
