Kerry Katona and her boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, were spotted out together for the first time since reports surfaced that Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, allegedly punched him in Dubai. They were seen on Thursday.
Kerry, who used to be in the band Atomic Kitten, seemed cheerful as she went to a hair salon in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
She sported a navy and white striped zip-up fleece and matching tracksuit bottoms for the outing.
The mother of four pulled up in her shiny green car, sporting white sneakers and carrying a black handbag.
Paolo, a 33-year-old managing director at Eco Bag UK, had returned to work in England. He was spotted carrying boxes and cleaning supplies close to his office.
A disagreement between Kerry and Katie’s partners has reportedly caused tension in their 22-year friendship.
Kerry and her younger boyfriend recently enjoyed a Valentine’s Day getaway to the UAE, where they met up with Katie and her husband.
Paolo flew home after just 14 hours following the alleged altercation with Lee.
Katie’s family is increasingly worried about her new husband, Lee, and they suspect he may be taking advantage of her.
After Katie and Lee shared their plans to start a family, some people have accused Lee of using their relationship to gain popularity and grow his social media following.
After 22 years of friendship, Kerry and Katie are reportedly facing difficulties because of a disagreement between their partners.
I’ve been a fan of both of them ever since they first connected on ‘I’m A Celebrity’ way back in 2004. It was so great to see them take their connection on the road with a tour last year – they clearly have a really special bond!
The fight reportedly started because Paolo thought Lee was speaking to Katie in an aggressive way.
According to a source who spoke with The Sun, Lee and Katie were arguing. Paolo intervened, but Lee appeared very angry and began yelling at him.
Things escalated quickly, and Lee ended up hitting Paolo in the head. It was shocking to watch, as the tension had been building but then suddenly exploded. Everything happened in a flash.
According to a source, Paolo was very surprised, and Katie was also deeply upset by the unexpected consequences.
The Daily Mail reached out to Kerry’s team for a statement. Katie and Lee both said the reported argument didn’t happen.
Okay, so Kerry said her vacation was suddenly cut short due to a ‘work emergency,’ but honestly? I’ve been digging, and it’s way more than that. People who know are saying she’s really upset about what went down. It’s not just work, I can feel it! Something actually happened, and she’s heartbroken. I just know it.
Kerry wasn’t said to be present when the alleged row took place but heard about it from Paolo.
According to a source close to the situation, the TV personality is still fond of Katie, but they’ve recently been disappointed by Lee’s behavior.
In her latest column for new! magazine, Kerry didn’t discuss the disagreement, but she did mention that the holiday ended suddenly.
She wrote: ‘Unfortunately during the trip, Paolo had to go back to the UK for a work emergency.
I had a full 14 hours with him before he had to depart, and it was really disappointing for both of us to be separated and for me to be left alone in Dubai.
Paolo currently works as a managing director at Eco Bag UK, where the company transforms recycled plastic into refuse sacks for both stores and larger buyers. Before this, he was a personal trainer, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Kerry found love with Paolo after meeting on Celebs Go Dating, which began filming in April.
Katie and Lee quickly connected online, and before long, Katie flew out to marry him. The fast-moving romance surprised everyone who knew her.
I’ve noticed that Lee constantly showcases Katie on his social media – practically every post includes her or gives her a shout-out. It’s clear they’re really living it up in Dubai, and he loves sharing all the details of their luxurious life together!
This individual, who claims to be a billionaire, has a large following of over 127,000 people and reportedly earns between $5,000 and $10,000 – or roughly £3,000 to £7,400 – from sponsored content.
Lee shared on Thursday that his social media posts are incredibly popular, receiving over 51 million views each day across all his platforms.
He’s also been advertising Katie’s recently released candle and soap line, but many fans suspect it’s another one of his AI-created projects. They noticed some strange labeling on the products, which led them to believe it wasn’t genuinely made by Katie.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed a trend with some influencers and it’s something I always encourage my followers to be aware of: what you see online isn’t always reality. There’s a lot of talk about Lee and whether he uses AI or heavy editing in his photos, and honestly, comparing his unedited pictures to his Instagram posts is quite a stark contrast. It really highlights how much images can be altered, and it’s a good reminder to take everything you see with a grain of salt.
I was so excited to hear that Katie apparently already put a deposit on a house in the UAE – and all within her first month of marriage! It’s amazing how quickly things are moving for her.
Last week, Lee shared an AI-created image hinting at their dream home: a three-story mansion with plenty of space for family and guests, including bedrooms for their children and parents, plus a garage for both of their cars.
I nearly fell off my chair when I saw Katie’s Instagram post yesterday! She basically announced that they’re expecting a baby, and the internet completely exploded! Everyone’s going crazy with excitement, and honestly, so am I!
People close to Katie have revealed the difficult circumstances surrounding her recent announcement about her baby, as reported in the Daily Mail. You can find the complete story here.
On Wednesday, Katie publicly announced on Instagram that she was pregnant with Lee’s baby, responding to a post made by his former partner, Alana.
She posted a message to @larnaapercival, saying she understands rejection is painful, and pointed out she’s married to @wesleeeandrews, a man the recipient desires but can no longer be with.
It’s obvious you’re acting out of hurt and resentment with your dishonesty and negative comments. It’s time to move on and try to rebuild some self-respect. I understand what’s really going on, and continuing like this is just making things worse for you.
I’m aware of everything, and I believe I’m the genuine partner he’s been looking for and truly deserves. I’d appreciate it if you’d simply let us live our lives and build our future together, especially since we’re expecting a child.
I’m embracing this relationship and feeling confident and empowered. He’s a wonderful person who has always been supportive and kind. I believe I offer him the genuine femininity he appreciates, unlike the more masculine approach you present.
‘Now disappear under that bridge you irrelevant little troll.’
Lee has promoted himself as a successful businessman, but the Daily Mail reported that he’s actually been prohibited from leaving Dubai. He was reportedly held in a UAE jail for three weeks and accused of forging the signature of a former girlfriend, which exposed the discrepancy between his public image and reality.
Since then, a number of Lee’s former partners have shared their experiences, and Alana even advised Katie in an interview to get away from him quickly.
I was really struck by a post I saw the other day. Someone shared how a former partner completely drained them – emotionally and likely financially – leaving them feeling utterly dependent. It’s a heartbreaking situation, and a really important reminder to protect your own well-being and independence in any relationship. It highlighted a pattern of control and a lack of respect for boundaries, which is never okay.
In a long post, Alana accused Lee of repeatedly mistreating his father and denied claims that she envies his relationship with Katie.
She responded with amusement, saying she wasn’t jealous or resentful at all. She made it clear she has completely moved on from Lee and no longer considers him a part of her life.
I’m worried about how he treats women – his behavior keeps repeating itself. I used to be like Katie, shutting out anyone who tried to help. I really regret not listening to them when I had the chance.
Please state what exactly you’re jealous or resentful about. This person is exploiting vulnerable women financially, is dishonest, and acts with no regard for others.
He boasts about possessions like cars and houses, claims to have connections with royalty and ambassadors, and makes endless promises he never keeps, always having an excuse for his failures.
This person has deeply troubling fantasies and a history of harming those they care about, both emotionally and physically. They are arrogant and have repeatedly betrayed their own father, even leading to travel restrictions being placed on him. Due to the sensitive nature of some details, I cannot elaborate further.
He shows no empathy or regret for his actions, and the negativity could continue endlessly. It’s clear from his photos that he heavily edits them, and there’s absolutely nothing admirable or enviable about him. He’s simply unpleasant.
He’s mentioned again that he’s traveling to the UK today, so we’ll see what happens. He’s incredibly insecure and manipulative, to the point where he’ll try to take everything from you to make you dependent on him.
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.
He proposed in September, recreating the same romantic setup as Katie’s engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
Immediately 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’d ‘never experienced someone expressing their love for me so intensely’ before.
Alana, who previously sold a house to Katie and ended their engagement last November, warned Katie to be careful with her new partner, Lee. She told The Sun that Lee is dishonest, self-absorbed, and controlling. Alana claims that when she tried to break up with him, he falsely claimed to have a serious heart condition. She believes he often blurs the line between truth and lies.
Another one of Andrew Tate’s former partners, 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 in a romance with Lee, who she began dating last May. She believes he used her money to buy expensive gifts for another woman, Alana, whom he was seeing at the same time.
Lee denies these claims.
‘Rumours either came from a male that can’t have her or a female that can’t compete with her.’
Lee hinted at wanting to have a baby, after Katie had previously looked into using a surrogate during her relationship with Carl Woods, and even said she’d found someone to carry her sixth child.
Katie recently shared on the Turning Adversity Into An Asset podcast that she’s planning to have another baby in 2023 using a surrogate. At 44, she explained she’s no longer able to get pregnant naturally and is exploring other options to grow her family.
Okay, so here’s where I’m at: I’m 44 and desperately want another baby, but I’ve run out of eggs. I’ve found a wonderful surrogate, which is amazing, but it’s still just… a lot to process. It’s not like I can just have a baby myself anymore, you know? It’s a whole different journey now, and I’m trying to figure out what that looks like.
When Lewis Raymond Taylor asked who was carrying the baby, Katie explained that a fan of hers, who also works as a surrogate, would be the gestational carrier, using Katie’s egg.
When asked about the baby’s father, Katie explained that it would be whoever she was in a relationship with at the time. If she wasn’t with anyone, she would consider using a sperm donor.
However, the surrogate mother withdrew from the arrangement after feeling mistreated by Katie, who she alleges spoke to her and her four children with disrespect and used offensive language.
I’m so excited for Katie and Lee! They actually came back to the UK right after their wedding, but Lee was always planning to join her again. Now, they’re both over in Dubai, which is wonderful to see! It’s great they’re getting to enjoy some time together there.
The Daily Mail reported that Lee was previously jailed in the UAE for three weeks. He was accused of illegally signing his ex-girlfriend’s name to obtain a £200,000 loan without her permission.
Sources revealed to the Daily Mail that he reportedly applied for a £200,000 mortgage in his partner, Dina Taji’s, name last year without her being aware.
He was reportedly prevented from leaving the country, but Lee disputes this claim. He remains in the UAE and has not yet departed.
Oh my god, I was so worried! Apparently, if you’re in trouble with the law in Dubai – even if it’s just about money you owe, like debts or a lawsuit – they won’t let you leave the country! That’s what happened with Lee! This woman… she reported him to the Dubai authorities, and they actually investigated her claim. It’s just… everything is so complicated there!
Katie and Lee have said they plan to travel to the UK soon after their honeymoon.
On Monday, the newly married couple shared on Instagram that they’d be returning home ‘within a few days’ and playfully warned England to ‘be prepared’ for their arrival.
In the clip, Katie said: ‘So we are still in Dubai and we will be coming to England very soon.’
