Katie Price's Family Absence at Fourth Wedding Raises Eyebrows
The latest chapter in Katie Price's personal life has unfolded with dramatic flair, as the former glamour model tied the knot for a fourth time in a ceremony that conspicuously lacked the presence of her immediate family. The 47-year-old married businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai over the weekend, just one week after their first in-person meeting, in what has been described as a 'quickie' wedding.
Family Members Notably Absent from Ceremony
Photographs from the event reveal that the ceremony was attended solely by the bride and groom, with no family members in sight. This includes Katie's children, Junior and Princess, her terminally ill mother Amy, and her sister Sophie, who collaborates with Katie on their joint podcast, The Katie Price Show. Reports indicate that the family was not only absent but also unaware that the wedding was taking place, having received no formal invitations.
The family's response to the nuptials has been telling. Junior Andre took to Instagram to share content unrelated to the wedding, posting about football and Arsenal's loss to Manchester United, seemingly distancing himself from the event. Sophie Price, meanwhile, focused on 'retail therapy' and her evening routine, while Princess has remained silent on social media since the news broke. None of Katie's family or friends have followed Lee Andrews on Instagram since his relationship with the mother-of-five became public.
A Rapid Romance and Public Displays of Affection
Katie and Lee's relationship has moved at a breathtaking pace. The couple met through social media and only encountered each other in person a week prior to their wedding. Despite this brief acquaintance, they have already exchanged rings, obtained matching tattoos—including Katie's tribute to Lee on her hand—and shared numerous affectionate posts on social media.
On Instagram, Katie expressed her joy, stating, "All this without even meeting, we let fate but you could say destiny decide. I’m just so happy with my person that is just as happy as me. What we have, they haven’t even invented the words." Lee Andrews, the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel and a long-term Dubai resident, also shared celebratory posts, including a selfie captioned "Happiest Mr & Mrs" with a John Legend soundtrack.
Public Reaction and Past Relationships
The public's response to the wedding has been mixed, with some social media users criticising the couple's self-congratulatory posts as "mega cringe" and questioning the sincerity of the rapid union. This event marks Katie's fourth marriage, following previous unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler, as well as engagements to Kris Boyson and a relationship with JJ Slater.
Her family's apparent indifference and absence from the wedding underscore ongoing concerns about Katie's personal life decisions. While Katie appears totally besotted with her new husband, the lack of familial support speaks volumes about the dynamics at play. As the story continues to develop, the contrast between Katie's public declarations of happiness and her family's silent response remains a poignant subplot in this latest celebrity saga.
