Katie Price met her new husband Lee Andrews just days before their wedding, it has been revealed.
Katie Price, 47, reportedly married her boyfriend in Dubai this weekend, and her family is said to be shocked and upset by the quick wedding – it’s her fourth marriage.
Katie revealed they actually purchased their wedding rings – a diamond Cartier band for her – before they’d even met Lee.
The television personality started talking to Lee, who is from Manchester, online. She then flew to Dubai, and her family was reportedly shocked by how quickly this new relationship developed, especially since her breakup with JJ Slater, 32, had just become public.
The reality star explained to The Sun that she and Lee connected in an unusual way – they found each other by looking at each other’s social media and immediately felt a connection. They then started talking, and that’s what really drew them together.
Our connection quickly grew stronger – within days, we were getting matching tattoos and then decided to buy each other rings.
You know, it’s funny how sometimes the best connections happen when you least expect them. I met my person without even trying, and I truly believe it was meant to be. I’m incredibly happy, and the feeling is mutual – it’s amazing! Honestly, what we share is something I don’t even think words can fully describe; it’s just… different.
Katie added Lee ‘has the best version’ of herself.
Meanwhile, an insider close to the family has claimed they are reeling from the news.
Katie’s mother, Amy, and her five children – Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 10 – were unaware of the wedding.
Kate’s family were completely shocked to learn of her engagement. They were surprised she got engaged so quickly – almost immediately after arriving in Dubai.
It’s even more surprising that she married him the very next day. Nobody has any idea who Lee is or anything about his background.
They added Katie has ‘a lot of questions to answer to when she comes home’.
Daily Mail has contacted Katie’s representative for comment.
Katie has been engaged eight times before and has been married and divorced three times – to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler.
Katie’s wedding reportedly caused more worry about her health, especially after her significant weight loss.
After photos surfaced of her looking very thin during a shopping trip with her daughter Princess, many fans expressed concern and urged her to seek help.
On her podcast, Katie Price told her sister Sophie that she’s undergoing medical tests to find out why she’s recently lost weight.
After seeing the photos, Katie admitted she looked very thin and unwell, and explained she was going to the doctor to get checked out.
I’ve said it many times: yes, I’ve lost weight, and I’ve already discussed the reason with my doctor. We’re working to understand what’s going on, and I’ll share an update with everyone as soon as I have more information.
Katie explained that she’s trying to gain weight, but she’s struggling to do so. She emphasized that she eats whatever she wants and has never had any issues with her appetite.
Earlier in the podcast Katie had revealed she had booked a doctors appointment and blood tests.
Katie surprised her followers on Friday with the news of her engagement, and affectionately referred to Lee as ‘her real-life Richard Gere’.
The mom, who has five children, posted several photos of herself standing in front of a large display of red roses that spelled out ‘Will you marry me?’
She proudly displayed a new tattoo her partner got of her name. They were celebrating with champagne, strawberries, and chocolate cake.
Lee has lived in Dubai for 21 years and shares photos and videos of his luxurious lifestyle online.
Lee, who has been married twice and says he’s worth millions, recently called his former wife and personal trainer ‘the perfect woman’ – just a year and a half ago, in fact.
Lee’s Instagram profile states he’s the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and also invests in both SpaceX and Hybrid Fitness.
Before proposing to Katie – who would become his ninth fiancée – Lee was married to Dina Taji, a 41-year-old health and fitness coach. He met Dina in Dubai in early 2020 while they were both at the gym. Dina was born in Palestine and raised in Qatar.
Just over a year and a half ago, he publicly praised his former wife, Dina Taji, posting photos of them together and writing about the importance of a loving and respectful partnership. He described finding someone to share life with as something special and sacred.
According to sources at Daily Mail, her ex, JJ, was also surprised by the news. He’s currently in Miami with his family, reportedly recovering from their breakup.
Last week, the Daily Mail reported that Katie ended her relationship with the star from Married at First Sight UK because she didn’t believe they had a long-term future together.
People close to the couple report that their relationship had clearly been struggling for months, even though Katie publicly maintained everything was fine.
JJ and Katie started dating in February 2024, shortly after JJ gained popularity on the reality show Married at First Sight UK. They even discussed having a baby together – Katie’s sixth child – but ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
Someone close to Katie previously shared with the Daily Mail that she’d been questioning whether JJ was the right person to marry, but she’d been hoping those feelings would pass.
Instead, her worries have increased, and she now realizes she won’t be getting married for a fourth time.
‘JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and moved back to his home in Essex.
‘He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook.’
The Daily Mail contacted Katie and JJ’s representatives for comment at the time.
