Kerry Katona reacts to best pal Katie Price’s ‘bonkers’ wedding after she tied the knot with new husband Lee Andrews days after getting engaged

Kerry Katona responded to her friend Katie Price’s whirlwind wedding to Lee Andrews, which happened just days after their engagement. Katona described the wedding as ‘crazy’.

Katie Price, 47, recently married her fourth husband, a 43-year-old businessman, in a small, private ceremony in Dubai last month.

Lee presented himself as a wealthy businessman connected to Elon Musk, but that image has quickly fallen apart. Since gaining attention, he’s been accused of using artificial intelligence to create a false persona, working as an escort, and having a complicated romantic past.

Okay, so I’m hearing from Katie’s close friend Kerry that she thinks Katie’s wedding was… well, a little over the top! Kerry actually used the word ‘bonkers’ to describe it, which, let’s be honest, is a pretty fun way to put it. It sounds like things were definitely memorable!

In the latest news, Kerry reported that Katie Price has tied the knot for the fourth time, and she’s playfully described her new husband as her ‘Richard Gere’.

I care about Katie a lot and always will, even though she can be a bit crazy. Deep down, she just wants to feel loved.

Personally, I’m not sure I’d want to get married. If someone were to propose, I’d need to be absolutely certain it’s a lifelong commitment.

Katie and Kerry have both experienced complicated relationships and have dated several well-known people over the years.

Kerry has been married and divorced three times. She first married singer Brian McFadden from the band Westlife in 2002, but they divorced four years later. She then married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver, in 2007, and they separated in 2011.

Kerry married George Kay in 2014, but they split up in 2017. Sadly, George passed away in July 2019 due to a drug overdose.

Kerry broke up with her fiancé, Ryan Mahoney, last year after a reported issue with trust. She’s now in a relationship with 33-year-old personal trainer Paolo Margaglione, who she met while filming the reality show Celebs Go Dating earlier this year.

Although Kerry and Katie don’t always agree, Kerry is one of the very few people Katie completely trusts. Kerry is a mother of five children: Molly, 24, Lilly-Sue, 22, Heidi, 18, Max, 17, and 11-year-old DJ.

Katie is reportedly having second thoughts about marrying a man she’s only known for a few days.

People close to Katie’s family have shared with Daily Mail that she’s starting to doubt Lee, and realize he may not be who she believed him to be, though she’s finding it hard to accept this.

Someone close to the situation revealed that Katie has received a flood of messages from her husband’s ex-girlfriends. They’ve been warning her about his true character and urging her to end the relationship.

He’s not a kind person. These women are genuinely trying to help her avoid the same painful experiences they had, and they have no hidden agenda.

They explained that she initially dismissed the women as simply being resentful. However, she’s now starting to take them seriously because they have a lot of specific evidence detailing his past actions.

Despite realizing she may have made a big error marrying someone she barely knew, she’s refusing to admit it to her friends and family. She’s incredibly stubborn and doesn’t like to show weakness.

This happened because the entrepreneur didn’t keep his word and travel to the UK on Thursday to meet his new wife, as he had said he would.

Lee explained that he planned to fly on Saturday, having postponed his flight to look for potential new homes for them in the UAE.

It’s unknown whether the couple intends to live in both countries, but Lee expressed his enthusiasm about coming back to the UK to be with Katie.

The TV star came back to England by herself this week to be with her children, only a few days after getting married to Lee.

Lee announced on Instagram Wednesday evening that he’s meeting Katie in the UK tomorrow, and just needs to finish up a few tasks first.

‘She had to get back for her children because she’s a good mother and she’s lovely like that.’

Interestingly, Lee proposed to Katie in the same way he’d proposed to his former partner, Alana Percival, just four months earlier. He even used the same location – the Burj Al Arab – and the same flower arrangement.

Alana has publicly criticized Lee on social media, accusing him of being a dishonest cheat and warning Katie to end their relationship immediately. She claims to have evidence to support her accusations.

On Wednesday, she posted a warning to her new wife on Instagram, saying, ‘I used to think the idea of women supporting each other was untrue, but I learned my lesson. If you need evidence, it’s out there…’ She also tagged Katie in the post.

Alana posted a beach photo in a bikini with a caption about prioritizing travel over relationships. She playfully tagged Katie Price, suggesting someone is with her ex and mistakenly believes they’ve found their soulmate, hinting at more news to come.

‘You guys wanted to know what he is all about? Well let me start to tell you …#runforthehills.’

Last March, Lee began communicating with Alana on Facebook and quickly lavished her with expensive gifts, including a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewelry, and a large sum of money.

Shortly after Alana announced their engagement with a photo online, she was contacted by his ex-wife, Cezara, who is Russian, and two other former partners. They all accused him of being dishonest.

Even though they cautioned her, Alana, now calling him a ‘liar and cheat’, believed their relationships simply fizzled out because she hadn’t experienced someone expressing their love for her so intensely before.

The Daily Mail contacted Lee and representatives of Katie for comment at the time.

Before marrying Dina Taji, a health and fitness coach, for several years, Lee had proposed to Alana and Katie – making them his ninth and tenth fiancées.

When Katie showed off her large diamond ring, people wondered if it was the same one her partner had previously given to his former wife, Dina.

Another former partner of Andrew Tate, Crystal Janke, alleges he tricked her into giving him £123,000 to invest in his business, claiming she would get a £1 million profit.

A nurse practitioner from Texas says she was tricked by a man named Lee, whom she began dating last May. She believes he used her money to buy expensive gifts for another woman, Alana, who he was also seeing at the time.

Crystal left a supportive comment on Alana’s post, encouraging her to enjoy life and saying she deserved all the good things happening. Alana responded with a cryptic message, hinting at a larger, unresolved situation and mentioning karma.

I really wish I could be there with you right now and give you a hug. Thank you so much for being there to listen when I needed to talk. It means a lot to me that we women support each other, and I’m so glad our paths crossed.

I’m truly sorry we’re going through this, but I’m confident we’ll overcome it and emerge even stronger as a result.

Alana shared on Instagram that a man made her feel small and silenced, discouraging her from talking to friends about his behavior, especially since they had already advised her to end the relationship.

He damaged my relationships and isolated me from loved ones by covering for his actions. He made countless promises, and because I supported him, it made me appear just as flawed as he was.

Okay, I have to share this, and I really hope Katie’s listening. Honestly, I wish I had paid attention when people tried to warn me! Ladies, seriously, if you ever find yourself in a situation even remotely like this, just run. Don’t walk, run, and don’t stop!

Crystal thinks Lee was going to propose to her in a similar way to Alana’s fiancé, just two weeks before Alana got engaged. They had been looking at rings together, suggesting he’d been planning it.

However, her sister grew suspicious of Lee and hired a private investigator. The investigator discovered that Lee was also dating Alana.

Crystal shared that her PA encountered Dina, an ex-partner of the person they were discussing. Dina warned them to be careful, saying he wasn’t being truthful and regularly scams people.

Crystal immediately ended things with Lee, alerted her bank, and reported him to the police. She realized she likely wouldn’t recover the money and later wondered how she’d been tricked, admitting he was incredibly persuasive.

Lee confirmed to the Daily Mail that he and Alana were in a relationship. He said he supported her financially and invested in her business, but strongly denies her recent accusations against him.

He mentioned he has a heart condition, but emphasized he’s never used it to gain sympathy or mislead anyone. It simply came up in conversation while he was with his partner.

Let me tell you, I’ve been following this closely, and he was very clear about Crystal. He stated he’s never actually met her. They’ve chatted and texted a bit, but he firmly denied any idea that she’s invested in him or given him money, and he completely rejected that claim. He wanted to make it absolutely clear there’s no financial connection.

I’ve been following this story closely, and The Sun is reporting they’ve seen text messages from Lee to Crystal. Apparently, he told her he was seeing someone really famous here in the UK and now wants to meet up with her in London to give her money back. It’s all a bit strange, honestly, but that’s what they’re saying!
