Katie Price has touched down on British soil after her unexpected and secretive wedding to self-proclaimed businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai. The former glamour model, aged 47, entered into her fourth marriage during an intimate ceremony over the weekend, merely days after accepting a proposal from her new partner.
A Swift Return and Social Media Updates
In a video shared on Instagram late Monday evening, Katie informed her followers that she was back in the United Kingdom and had plenty to share. Speaking from the back of a taxi, she expressed her exhaustion from the journey and her eagerness to return to her normal routine, specifically mentioning her reliance on CBD products to manage anxiety and sleep issues.
"So I am now back in the UK. Oh my god, I can't wait to get home," she said in the clip. "Obviously the time difference, I didn't sleep on the plane. I've missed my CBD. So I know I'm going to have a good sleep tonight. So yeah, get back into the routine of sleep."
She thanked fans for their messages and promised more details soon. Meanwhile, Lee Andrews posted a photograph from their nuptials on social media, captioning it with the cryptic statement: "We know the truth and that's what matters."
Questions Surround the Groom's Background
The rapid development of this relationship has raised eyebrows, particularly concerning Lee Andrews' professional claims. Described as a Nottinghamshire comprehensive-school educated expatriate living in Dubai for 21 years, his portrayal as a jet-setting tycoon appears questionable.
His social media presence, including LinkedIn, features numerous images that seem to be artificially generated, showing him alongside high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. He asserts he is the CEO of Aura Sustainable Vehicles & Energy, yet no functional website exists for this alleged enterprise.
Further scrutiny reveals that Lee proposed to a previous partner, Alana Percival, just four months ago in an almost identical setting—complete with rose petals and tea lights spelling out a marriage proposal. Reports indicate Ms Percival later ended that engagement due to suspicions about his motives.
Family Reaction and Romantic History
Sources close to the situation report that Katie Price's family, including her mother Amy and her five children, were completely unaware of the wedding plans and have been left "dumbstruck" and "completely horrified" by the news. An insider stated they had not spoken to her since she walked down the aisle and have many questions awaiting her return.
This marriage marks Katie's fourth trip to the altar, following previous unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. Her engagement to Lee Andrews is notably her ninth fiancé, coming swiftly after her recent split from boyfriend JJ Slater, a star of Married at First Sight UK. Sources indicate Mr Slater was "blindsided" by the end of their two-year relationship and the subsequent news of her marriage.
Katie has described meeting Lee through social media interactions, leading to a deep connection that included getting matching tattoos and purchasing wedding rings for each other before they had even met in person. She has publicly stated that he brings out "the best version" of herself, though friends reportedly hope she is scrutinising his intentions carefully.
