Katie Price's Fourth Husband Faces Online Backlash Following Whirlwind Wedding
Katie Price's new husband, reality star Lee Andrews, has become the target of harsh online trolling following the couple's surprise wedding this weekend. The ceremony took place just weeks after Price ended her two-year relationship with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater.
Swift Ceremony and Immediate Criticism
According to eyewitness reports, the wedding was a quick, intimate affair with only the bride and groom in attendance. This marks the fourth marriage for Katie Price, who has previously been wed to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. For the occasion, Price wore a striking white cut-out bodycon dress, while Andrews opted for white linen trousers paired with a taupe shirt.
Despite the couple's apparent happiness, social media reaction to Andrews' wedding announcement has been overwhelmingly negative. The businessman shared a mirror selfie of the pair on Instagram last week, captioning it "Happiest Mr & Mrs" and adding John Legend's ballad Ordinary People as the soundtrack.
Social Media Backlash and Accusations
The post immediately attracted critical comments from users who found Andrews' approach self-congratulatory and cringeworthy. One particularly harsh comment described him as "a complete moron," while others questioned why someone would congratulate themselves in the third person.
Some users went further, suggesting the entire announcement might be fabricated. Multiple comments speculated that the images could be AI-generated or part of an elaborate staged production, with one user writing "This has to be a wind up" in apparent disbelief.
Rapid Romance and Permanent Commitments
The couple's relationship has developed at remarkable speed. Price revealed that she and Andrews met in person just over a week ago after being introduced through social media. Despite the brief courtship, they have already made significant commitments to each other.
Before even meeting face-to-face, the pair purchased rings for one another and got matching tattoos. Andrews further demonstrated his commitment by sharing romantic gestures on social media, including photos of Price posing beside a sea of red roses arranged to spell out 'will you marry me?'
Price herself appears delighted with the union, describing it as "a wedding at first sight" and declaring "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." She has also shared images showing Andrews' fresh tattoo of her name and documented their celebrations featuring champagne, strawberries, and chocolate cake.
Previous Relationship Fallout
The whirlwind wedding comes shortly after Price's breakup with JJ Slater, who has reportedly unfollowed her on social media following the news. The contrast between the ended relationship and new marriage has added fuel to the online commentary surrounding Price and Andrews' union.
As the couple begins their married life together, they continue to face scrutiny from both fans and critics on social media platforms, where opinions about their rapid romance and wedding remain sharply divided.
