Katie Price's Fourth Wedding Triggers Family Alarm
Katie Price's family and close friends are reportedly "deeply worried" about the star's wellbeing following her surprise fourth marriage to businessman Lee Andrews. The 47-year-old mother-of-five tied the knot in what has been described as a "shotgun wedding" just days after meeting her new groom, leaving those closest to her concerned about her mental state.
Surgery Confessions Precede Sudden Union
Prior to the unexpected wedding ceremony, Price had openly discussed her desire for further cosmetic surgery procedures, prompting fears among her inner circle that she might not be "thinking straight". A source close to the family revealed their apprehension, stating: "They're worried she isn't thinking straight and they're worried she is going to die on the operating table."
The source elaborated on the family's concerns, explaining: "The last thing she needs now is to be getting more surgery. It's ruining her friendships. It's ruining her relationships with her family." These worries emerged shortly after Price's split from partner JJ Slater, with whom she had been in a relationship for two years.
Secret Ceremony Leaves Family in the Dark
In a move that has reportedly left her family "dumbstruck and horrified," Price married Andrews without informing any relatives about the ceremony. None of her family members were present or even notified about the wedding plans, according to sources close to the situation.
A family insider told The Sun: "Kate married Lee without telling anyone – the whole family are completely horrified. It is moving very fast and they are concerned about Kate's frame of mind." The source added further concerns about the new husband's background: "No one knows who Lee really is and whether he is any good for her. It's all total chaos at the moment and no one has a clue what is happening."
Tattoos and Social Media Connection
Despite the family's apprehension, Price appears content with her decision, describing their connection as "esoteric" and revealing they first connected through social media before meeting in person. The couple marked their commitment with matching tattoos of each other's names on their hands, which Price shared on Instagram following their engagement announcement.
Price expressed her happiness about the relationship, telling The Sun: "How I met Lee was esoteric; we connected [by] both checking each others' socials and quickly realised: 'Wow, this is for me'." She described their connection as deepening rapidly, leading to matching tattoos and ring purchases before they had even met in person.
Calling Andrews "my person," Price revealed their mutual happiness: "What we have, they haven't even invented the words. He has now the best version of me which can only grow more, knowing we are each others." The couple confirmed their marriage with both wearing white during what has been described as a "quickie" ceremony.
