Former glamour model Katie Price has embarked on another chapter in her personal life by adopting a new name following her fourth marriage. The 47-year-old tied the knot with businessman Lee Andrews in a surprise ceremony in Dubai over the weekend, just days after their engagement was announced.
A Swift Romance and Intimate Ceremony
The couple's relationship moved at a rapid pace, with reports indicating they met only a week before exchanging vows. The intimate wedding took place at a hotel, marking Price's fourth trip down the aisle. Following the ceremony, Andrews hinted at his wife's name change in a social media post, referring to her as "Katie P Andrews" in a caption accompanying a photo of her relaxing in a rose-petal-filled hot tub.
History of Name Changes
This latest alteration is far from Price's first foray into rebranding her identity. She initially rose to prominence in the 1990s under the modelling pseudonym Jordan, which became synonymous with her early career. Interestingly, the name Katie Price itself is not her birth name; she was originally born Katrina Infield and later adopted the surname Price from her mother Amy's husband.
Her marital history includes previous unions with singer Peter Andre, whom she met on the reality show I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, cage fighter Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. Each marriage brought potential name changes, making this latest development part of a longstanding pattern.
Family Reactions and Clarifications
The surprise nature of the Dubai wedding has reportedly caused some familial discord, with claims emerging that certain family members were unaware of the nuptials. Speculation suggests her daughter Princess was particularly upset about a specific detail in Price's wedding attire.
Since returning to the UK, Price has been spending time with her son Harvey. Meanwhile, Andrews has taken to social media to address the swirling rumours and questions about their marriage. He emphatically stated, "We had a wedding, we are married. It is official," and described himself as "the happiest man in the world," hoping to dispel what he called "junk" speculation.
He also clarified details about their wedding rings and tattoos, noting they are all on the correct hands and fingers, seemingly in response to online chatter. The couple's union continues to generate significant public interest, reflecting Price's enduring status as a media personality.
