Katie Price's Bridesmaid Reveals Secret Pact Behind Their Longstanding Friendship
One of Katie Price's famous bridesmaids has broken her silence about the private agreement that has underpinned their relationship for years, as the former glamour model embarks on her fourth marriage following a whirlwind romance.
The Unconventional Wedding and a Loyal Confidante
Katie Price has tied the knot for a fourth time with businessman Lee Andrews after a remarkably brief courtship that shocked showbiz circles. The newlyweds married with just an officiant present in Dubai, continuing Price's pattern of headline-grabbing nuptials.
Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, who has served as a bridesmaid at several of Price's previous weddings, has now revealed the secret to their enduring friendship. Speaking exclusively to Woman's Own magazine, Heaton disclosed: "We made a pact never to talk about each other in interviews. I guess that's why it's lasted as long as it has."
A Romantic Timeline Marked by Rapid Developments
The relationship between Price and Andrews developed with extraordinary speed. According to Price's own account to The Sun newspaper, the couple connected through social media before ever meeting in person. "How I met Lee was esoteric, we connected [by] both checking each others' socials and quickly realised 'wow this is for me'... in the old fashioned way, first by words which captured us both," she explained.
Remarkably, the couple took significant steps before their first physical meeting:
- They got matching tattoos as a symbol of their connection
- Both purchased wedding rings for each other
- They described their bond as something beyond conventional language
"All this without even meeting, we let fate but you could [say] destiny decide," Price elaborated. "I'm just so happy with my person that is just as happy as I am. What we have, they haven't even invented the words."
Price's Matrimonial History and Current Situation
Lee Andrews becomes Katie Price's fourth husband, following a series of high-profile marriages:
- Peter Andre (2005-2009): Her first marriage to the singer
- Alex Reid (2010-2011): A brief union with the actor and MMA fighter
- Kieran Hayler (2013-2018): Her longest marriage, though divorce proceedings began in 2018
Price has five children from these relationships and her earlier partnership with former footballer Dwight Yorke. Her latest wedding comes just weeks after confirming her split from boyfriend JJ Slater after two years of dating.
On her podcast, Price reflected on the ended relationship: "I don't wanna waste my time. You know, if I'm not loved up and it's not going, these are mistakes I've made in the past. You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty. Yeah. And I don't want that. So I'd rather have nipped it in the bud sooner rather than later."
Post-Wedding Developments and Geographical Separation
Following the Dubai ceremony, Price has returned to the UK while Andrews remains in Dubai, where he has lived for two decades. She has expressed her "unconditional" love for her new husband despite the geographical distance.
However, the wedding has been followed by revelations about Andrews' previous relationship. The Sun newspaper reports that just four months before proposing to Price, Andrews proposed to his then-girlfriend Alana Percival in an identical manner at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, complete with rose petals.
Through all these developments, Michelle Heaton's revelation about their secret pact offers insight into how Price maintains certain friendships amidst her very public life and multiple relationship transitions.
