Katie Price Announces Ninth Engagement During Dubai Holiday
Reality television star and former glamour model Katie Price has stunned her fans by announcing her engagement for the ninth time. The 47-year-old mother-of-five revealed the news on Friday afternoon, sharing that her new fiancé, businessman Lee Andrews, popped the question while they were holidaying in Dubai.
Romantic Proposal and Lavish Celebrations
Price shared a series of photographs and videos capturing the romantic moment. In one image, she posed beside a sea of red roses arranged to spell out the words 'will you marry me?'. The couple celebrated with champagne, strawberries, and chocolate cake, marking the occasion in style.
In a new loved-up video taken at a restaurant in the United Arab Emirates, Andrews can be heard prompting Price to show off her engagement ring. 'Look how cute this girl is. Have you got anything to show the crowd Katie? On your left index finger. Let's see how sparkly that is,' he said.
Price proudly displayed what Andrews claimed is a 25-karat diamond ring, with the beaming star heard saying, 'That is beautiful. I'm spoilt.' She added, 'Do you know you've actually really spoiled me, look at that, you've absolutely spoiled me.'
Fresh Tattoo and Relationship Timeline
Adding to the romantic gestures, Price also showed off her partner's hand, which featured a fresh tattoo of her name. This engagement comes just over a week after the Daily Mail revealed that Price had split from her previous boyfriend, reality star JJ Slater, aged 32.
Insiders suggested that cracks in their relationship had become 'too obvious to ignore' in recent months, despite Price's earlier insistence that they were going strong. The pair began dating in February 2024, after Slater rose to fame on E4's Married at First Sight UK. Price had even spoken of having a child together, which would have been her sixth, but the relationship ultimately did not last.
Price's Engagement History and Personal Reflections
Katie Price has a well-documented history of engagements and marriages. She has previously been engaged eight times and has three ex-husbands:
- Peter Andre
- Alex Reid
- Kieran Hayler
She agreed to marry previous partners Warren Furman in 1996, Scott Sullivan in 2004, Leandro Penna in 2012, Kris Boyson in 2018, and Carl Woods in 2021, but never made it down the aisle with any of them.
Following the engagement announcement, Price shared a snap of the Burj Al Arab with an emoji of a ring, captioning it, 'Richard gear swept off my feet, manifesting does work.' Interestingly, she announced her engagement on the same day her ex-husband Peter Andre released his brand-new single, 'Rock You Right'.
Recent Personal Updates and Fan Concerns
Last week, Price broke her silence on her split from JJ Slater by sharing cryptic posts about meeting the 'right person'. On her Instagram Story, she posted poems and quotes about soulmates and relationships, including one that read, 'They say falling in love takes time. But it's not true. Falling in love only takes the right person - the one who knows exactly what you need, without having to ask.'
Fans have also expressed concern over Price's dramatic weight loss, commenting that she looks 'gaunt' in recent pictures. Addressing these fears on her podcast with her sister Sophie, Price explained, 'I know I look gaunt, I look like I'm ill – hence why I'm going to the doctors tomorrow. I don't know how many times I have to say to people, "Yes I know I've lost weight," and there's obviously a reason, I said it to the doctor. We all know that we're trying to sort it all out and as soon as I know then I'll let everyone know.'
As Katie Price embarks on this new chapter with Lee Andrews, her fans and followers are watching closely, hoping that this ninth engagement might lead to a lasting union.
