Katie Price, the former glamour model and reality television star, has embarked on her fourth marriage in a whirlwind romance that has captivated public attention. She tied the knot with businessman Lee Andrews in an intimate ceremony, marking a swift transition following her recent split from JJ Slater.
The Rapid Romance and Engagement
Reports indicate that Katie Price and Lee Andrews connected online approximately a week before their wedding. Their meeting took place in Dubai, where Lee resides, shortly after Katie's separation from JJ Slater, a former contestant on Married At First Sight. The engagement was announced dramatically on Friday, January 23, when Katie shared images on social media of rose petals arranged to spell 'will you marry me' and a glimpse of a dazzling diamond engagement ring.
The Wedding Ceremony Details
The wedding itself was a private affair, with only Katie and Lee in attendance. Katie opted for a budget-friendly white cut-out dress from Shein, reportedly costing £12, while Lee wore white linen trousers and a taupe shirt. However, questions have arisen about the legality of the union. The celebrant described it as a 'symbolic ceremony', noting that legalisation would require a court visit. Despite this, Lee has firmly asserted on Instagram that the marriage is official, stating, 'We had a wedding, we are married. It is official and I'm the happiest man in the world.'
Post-Wedding Developments and Family Concerns
Following the ceremony, Lee revealed Katie's new name as Katie P Andrews in a social media post. The couple has also exchanged matching tattoos, with each having the other's name inked on their hand alongside the number 11 11, often associated with love and spiritual connections. Katie's family, however, has expressed worries about the pace of the relationship, with sources indicating they learned of the engagement through Instagram and that her daughter Princess was upset by a detail in the wedding outfit.
Background on Lee Andrews and Katie's Marital History
Lee Andrews is reported to be the CEO of Åura Group Future Urban Travel and has lived in Dubai for over two decades. Katie, aged 47, has now been married four times, with previous spouses including Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. She has since returned to the UK, while Lee remains in Dubai, sparking further speculation about the future of their relationship.
