Alex Reid Compares Marriage to Katie Price to a Drug Trip
In an exclusive revelation, Alex Reid, the former husband of glamour model Katie Price, has drawn a striking parallel between his time with her and the experience of being on drugs. The 50-year-old cage fighter, who was married to Price from 2010 to 2011, described their relationship as intoxicating and surreal, stating, "It's like I was on a trip, but I wasn't taking any drugs." This candid reflection comes in the wake of Price's recent marriage to businessman Lee Andrews in January 2026, which shocked fans due to its sudden nature.
Whirlwind Romance and Media Frenzy
Reid's romance with Katie Price began shortly after the collapse of her first marriage to pop singer Peter Andre, which lasted from 2005 to 2009. Their highly publicised union attracted intense media attention, a factor Reid admits he was "intoxicated" by. He elaborated, "I was really unaware of her relationship with Peter Andre. I was intoxicated with the celebrity and the whole situation. Reality went out the window." This pattern of swift transitions in Price's love life seems to have repeated, as she ended her relationship with toy-boy lover JJ Slater, 33, at the start of January 2026, only to marry Andrews days later.
Warning to Katie Price's New Husband
Reflecting on his own experience, Reid has issued a warning to Price's fourth husband, Lee Andrews. He speculated that Andrews might be experiencing a similar effect, saying, "I imagine Lee Andrews is intoxicated by the relationship. The difference is he's a little bit older than I was. Financially, I think he's more successful. Well, it depends. We don't know what the truth is." Reid also noted the media scrutiny surrounding Andrews, adding, "There's so many lies and things said about him. But if you believe his business acumen, then he's very successful."
Katie Price's Recent Relationships and Defences
Katie Price's marriage to Andrews was announced just days after her split from Married At First Sight star JJ Slater. The mum-of-five had been in a relationship with Slater since 2024, but it collapsed weeks after she hinted at having no true feelings for him. In a post-split interview, Slater expressed his heartbreak, revealing he was blindsided by Price's sudden change in feelings. He told The Sun, "In my head I’m 33. I wouldn’t be in a relationship at this age with someone if I didn’t see the end goal being married and kids."
Meanwhile, Katie Price has defended her husband and their marriage over the weekend. Taking to social media, she issued a defiant statement on Instagram Stories, typing, "@wesleeandrews has given me more love more security more respect and proven that everything that's been said about him has been absolute BS by bitter people and snakes in all areas." She accompanied this with emojis of a dog's face, a house, and a pregnant woman, which some fans interpreted as a veiled swipe at her past romances.
