Katie Price's Fourth Husband's Complicated Romantic History Emerges
Just days after their surprise Dubai wedding, details have surfaced about Katie Price's new husband Lee Andrew's romantic past, revealing a pattern of rapid proposals and effusive praise for former partners.
Whirlwind Romance and Sudden Marriage
The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans and family alike over the weekend by announcing she had married self-described millionaire Lee Andrew in a shotgun ceremony in Dubai, mere days after they first connected through social media. This marks Price's fourth marriage, following her engagements to Dwight Yorke, Peter Andre, and Kieran Hayler.
The reality television legend revealed the relationship developed quickly through online interactions, with the pair getting matching tattoos and buying rings for each other before even meeting in person. Price described their connection as "esoteric" and likened it to "Wedding at First Sight," telling The Sun her new husband brings out "the best version" of herself.
Previous Proposal Just Months Before
However, it has now emerged that Lee Andrew proposed to fitness enthusiast Alana Percival in September, shortly after meeting her on a Dubai beach. The proposal came complete with him getting down on one knee in what appears to be a pattern of rapid romantic advances.
Percival, who reportedly invested in one of Andrew's businesses, eventually ended the relationship after growing suspicious about his intentions. This proposal occurred while Andrew had been residing in Dubai for over two decades after leaving his native Derbyshire.
Ex-Wife Described as 'Perfect Woman'
Several months before proposing to Percival, Andrew had been publicly praising his second wife, Dina Taji, a 41-year-old Qatari-raised health coach he met at a Dubai gym in 2020. On social media, he shared multiple images of them together alongside heartfelt captions.
"Whether outside or in the office, who you share life and choose to partner with is sacred. Loving respect for this lady, Dina Taji," he wrote in one post.
Andrew's mother reportedly boasted about how her son went "all out" to impress Taji, whom he called a "beautiful human being" and his "favourite person," adding that he loved her "unconditionally."
Cultural Connections and Complicated Beginnings
In business forum discussions, Andrew revealed he fell in love with Arabic culture and Islamic customs through his relationship with Taji, stating he was accepted by her "very forward thinking" family. He described falling for "the perfect woman" before embracing aspects of her culture.
Interestingly, Andrew claimed their relationship began while both were married to other people, noticing an "instant attraction" at the gym before attempting to woo her. He described their connection as challenging due to their existing marital situations at the time.
Family and Friends Taken by Surprise
Price's marriage reportedly came as a complete shock to her inner circle, who had no prior knowledge of either the engagement or wedding plans. The rapid development from social media connection to marriage within days has left many questioning the stability of this latest union in Price's tumultuous romantic history.
Andrew, who has been married twice before, now finds himself at the centre of media scrutiny as details of his recent romantic entanglements continue to emerge, painting a picture of a man who moves quickly between serious relationships while maintaining effusive praise for former partners.
