Lee Andrews, the husband of Katie Price, has claimed he has adopted her five children. The self-proclaimed millionaire, who has faced conman allegations, was released from prison in Dubai last week after being arrested on reported fraud charges.
Since his release, Andrews, 43, has been creating personalized videos for fans on Cameo to earn money. In a Father's Day video message obtained by The Sun, he stated, "I haven't got children, but we're trying. I've adopted five of them. I love my wife and I love her children."
Baby Plans and Surrogacy Discussions
Price, who previously expressed a desire to have Andrews' baby, has not yet commented on his adoption claims. In February, the former glamour model, 48, said the couple is trying for a baby. "No, I'm not pregnant but one day I will be," she said. "Hopefully that clears all the speculation up. Just because we say we'll have kids, [it's because] one day I will. There's your answer… not pregnant."
In March, Andrews told The Sun: "We're trying for a baby. Obviously there's conversations of surrogacy and where we are at because we're both in our forties, we're getting on. We've spoken about doing the medical treatment in the UK to see where we stand, what's the possibility and eligibility to have a baby, but we would have it in the UAE."
Andrews' Detention and Disappearance
Andrews was detained for a "private civil matter" last month but insisted to Price that he was kidnapped on suspicion of espionage. He had been scheduled to fly to the UK for a joint interview on Good Morning Britain but failed to appear and could not be contacted. Price and Andrews' family launched an international appeal after he went missing for two weeks, with Price later revealing he was "alive and well" at Dubai's Al Awir Central Prison.
He told Price he had been "bundled into a van" with his hands tied at the Dubai border and taken to a "black site" while attempting to fly to London. After being located, Price said Andrews was shocked to discover he had become "the most hated man in prison" due to widespread online speculation.
Conman Allegations and Past Legal Issues
Andrews is thought to have finally told Price about a travel ban in the UAE earlier this month after months of denial. Price stated she "really believed" Andrews was trying to fly to the UK and insisted she is not "stupid," aware of the conman allegations. She added that she doesn't feel she'll be scammed by him as she is "protected by the nation" and is ready to be "done" with him if she doesn't get answers when they meet in person.
Andrews' ex Dina Taji, who was with him for three and a half years, previously accused him of taking out a £200,000 mortgage in her name without her knowledge after their marriage—a claim he denies. She reportedly took legal action, leading to Andrews spending three weeks in a Dubai jail and receiving a travel ban. Two other exes have called him a "liar" and urged Price not to give him any money.
