Katie Price's Husband Breaks Silence on Pregnancy Announcement
Katie Price's husband, Lee Andrews, has publicly addressed the couple's pregnancy news, confirming they will "soon be a triple" in a social media post. This announcement follows the former glamour model's own confirmation on Wednesday afternoon that she is "carrying" Andrews' child, in a message that directly targeted his ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival.
Social Media Confrontation and Wedding Details
In her Instagram post, Katie Price tagged Alana Percival with a lengthy message asserting her position as Andrews' partner. "I know all about you and who you are at least I'm the real woman he has found and deserves," Price wrote, adding, "but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I'm having his child." She concluded with a sharp dismissal: "Now disappear back under that bridge you irrelevant little troll."
This exchange comes just weeks after Price and Andrews' surprise wedding in Dubai last month, following a whirlwind romance of only a few days. The quick ceremony has drawn attention from Andrews' former partners, with Alana Percival claiming her own proposal from Andrews was identical to Price's Dubai proposal at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab hotel.
Lee Andrews' Response and Pregnancy Confirmation
Following Price's post, Lee Andrews shared a picture of the couple holding hands on his Instagram story with the caption: "Perfect couple soon to be a triple," accompanied by a pregnancy emoji. This confirmation has surprised many fans, given Price's well-documented fertility struggles over recent years.
Katie Price's Fertility Journey and Recent Heartbreak
Katie Price's path to this pregnancy announcement has been marked by significant challenges. In 2023, she documented her attempts to conceive via IVF in the Channel 4 documentary series "Katie Price: Making Babies." The program revealed the difficulties she faced with dwindling hormone levels and diminished egg supply, ultimately resulting in unsuccessful treatment after one fertilized egg failed to develop into a viable pregnancy.
Price described feeling "exhausted" following the documentary and decided against further IVF cycles at that time. Despite this setback, she consistently expressed her desire for a sixth child, telling fans she had no eggs remaining but still wanted to expand her family.
The journey took another heartbreaking turn around Christmas 2024 when Price and then-partner JJ Slater experienced a miscarriage after an unexpected natural pregnancy. Price later told The Sun: "I was just really sad because we went from joy and relief that I could get pregnant naturally, to confusion, heartbreak and sadness."
Surrogacy Plans and Current Family Situation
In 2023, Price discussed alternative paths to parenthood on the "Turning Adversity Into An Asset" podcast, revealing she had arranged for a surrogate using donor eggs. "I have got a surrogate, I haven't got any eggs anymore, I'm 44, I want another baby, so what am I supposed to do? I can't pop it out," she explained. However, this arrangement fell through when the surrogate withdrew, claiming Price had treated her and her children poorly.
Katie Price is already mother to five children: Harvey Price, 23; Junior Andre, 20; Princess Andre, 18; Jett Riviera, 12; and Bunny Hayler, 11. Alongside her fertility treatments, she has been navigating perimenopause symptoms including night sweats and brain fog, undergoing blood tests to better understand her hormonal changes.
Controversy Surrounding the New Marriage
The pregnancy announcement comes amid ongoing controversy about Andrews' background and intentions. Multiple former girlfriends have spoken out since the wedding, with Alana Percival alleging Andrews was on an escort website and warning Price to "look after women." Another ex, Crystal Janke, claimed she had been scammed by Andrews, allegations he has consistently denied.
Earlier this week, Price defended her new husband against what she called "snakes" trying to derail their marriage. In a Valentine's Day Instagram post, she praised Andrews for giving her "more security more respect" and dismissed allegations as "absolute BS by bitter people."
Legal Concerns and Personal Assurance
Further concerns have emerged about Andrews' past, including reports from The Mirror that he spent time in Dubai Central Prison last October. A fellow inmate described him as a "scammer" and expressed fears for Price's marriage. Andrews has denied all allegations when contacted for comment.
In a recent YouTube video, Price addressed concerns from family and fans about her quick marriage, asserting her independence and happiness. "I'm a grown a**e woman. I'm 48 this year, I'm not a young kid," she stated. "I've learned a lot in the past few years, through therapy and learning to love myself. So I'm not stupid, I know what I'm doing and if I'm happy that's all that matters."
The pregnancy announcement represents a significant development in Katie Price's personal journey, marking a potential new chapter after years of fertility struggles and recent personal turmoil.
