Former glamour model Katie Price has stunned fans and family by becoming a bride for the fourth time, marrying Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews in a sudden ceremony over the weekend. The 47-year-old exchanged vows with Andrews in what has been described as a "shotgun wedding" in Dubai, just days after the couple first went public with their relationship.
A Whirlwind Romance Culminates in Marriage
The surprise nuptials followed an exceptionally rapid courtship, with Price posting images of Andrews' romantic proposal on Instagram shortly before the wedding. The proposal featured rose petals arranged to spell out "Will you marry me?" creating a social media moment that quickly preceded the actual ceremony.
Price wore a distinctive cut-out white dress for the occasion, while her new husband opted for white linen trousers paired with a taupe shirt. The couple exchanged diamond-encrusted Cartier wedding bands during the ceremony, which reportedly left Price's family and children completely unaware until after the fact.
Price's Previous Marital History
This weekend's wedding marks the fourth time Katie Price has walked down the aisle, following three previous marriages that each had their own distinctive character and public profile.
The Fairytale Wedding with Peter Andre
Price's first marriage to singer Peter Andre in 2005 remains her most elaborate and publicly celebrated wedding. The ceremony took place at Highclere Castle in Hampshire and was styled as a Cinderella-themed event complete with a pink horse-drawn carriage.
The wedding featured several extravagant elements:
- A custom pink Isabell Kristensen gown with a 23-foot train
- Swarovski crystal-encrusted bodice on the dress
- Peter Andre's ivory Venetian wool suit with crystal-studded waistcoat
- An exclusive deal with OK! Magazine worth approximately £2 million
The marriage produced two children, Junior and Princess Andre, both of whom have since established their own careers in entertainment and social media. The couple divorced in 2009 after nearly four years of marriage.
The Las Vegas Ceremony with Alex Reid
Following her divorce from Andre, Price married mixed martial artist Alex Reid in 2010 during a private ceremony at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. The 20-minute ceremony was attended by a small group of friends and filmed for Price's reality television series.
Price later described this marriage as a "mistake," though the couple did hold a formal wedding blessing in the UK later that year for family members who couldn't attend the Las Vegas ceremony. The marriage ended in divorce by 2012.
The Bahamas Beach Wedding with Kieran Hayler
Price's third marriage to internet personality Kieran Hayler began with a beach ceremony at the Sandals Royal Bahamian resort in 2013. The couple had met just weeks before the wedding, which Price later criticized for its simplistic setup.
They held a second, more elaborate wedding blessing in Somerset two months later with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme. Despite renewing their vows in the Maldives in 2017 following Hayler's infidelity, the marriage ultimately ended in divorce in 2021.
Family Reactions and Recent Developments
The sudden nature of Price's latest wedding has reportedly left her family members, including her children, feeling "blindsided" by the unexpected development. The marriage comes just weeks after Price ended her relationship with previous partner JJ Slater in early January 2026.
Price has described her connection with Andrews as "a wedding at first sight," telling followers: "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."
The businessman has been living in Dubai for approximately twenty years, providing context for the location choice for their surprise ceremony. As Price begins this fourth marital chapter, her history of highly publicized relationships continues to captivate public attention while raising questions about the stability of whirlwind celebrity romances.
