Katie Price's Fourth Marriage Under Spotlight After Husband's Identical Proposal History Revealed
Glamour model Katie Price, 47, has stunned fans and family alike by marrying businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai following what she describes as a whirlwind "one-week" romance. The surprise ceremony took place on Saturday, with the reality star sharing loved-up snaps of the couple on social media shortly afterwards.
Deja Vu Proposal Details Raise Eyebrows
However, the newlyweds' fairytale beginning has been complicated by revelations that Andrews used an almost identical proposal setup for his previous girlfriend, Alana Percival, just four months earlier. Photographic evidence shows both women received proposals in the same Dubai hotel room, with identical diamond rings, bouquets of red roses wrapped in brown paper, and rose petals spelling out "Will you marry me" on the floor.
The similarities extend even to celebratory desserts, with both women being treated to exactly the same sweet treats following their engagements. Alana, who bears a striking resemblance to Price with her tattoos, long hair extensions and fake tan, reportedly called off her engagement to Andrews after growing suspicious of his intentions.
Family Left 'In The Dark' About Surprise Wedding
Sources close to the Price family have revealed they were completely unaware of the marriage plans, with Katie's mother Amy and her five children reportedly learning about the wedding through media reports. "Kate's family are dumbstruck," an insider told The Sun. "To see she had got engaged after flying to Dubai – literally just after she had arrived was crazy. The fact she has now married him the following day is even more shocking."
The source added that family members have numerous questions for Katie upon her return to the UK, particularly as they know "nothing about him" and were left completely in the dark about the ceremony.
Andrews' Complex Relationship History
Lee Andrews, who has been based in Dubai for 21 years, presents himself as a successful businessman on social media, listing himself as CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an "Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness." His relationship history reveals a pattern of rapid commitments.
Just eighteen months ago, Andrews was publicly praising his then-wife Dina Taji, a Palestinian-born health and fitness coach, calling her "the perfect woman" and sharing affectionate posts about their relationship. He proposed to Alana Percival after his split from Taji, before moving quickly to engage with and marry Katie Price.
Price's Relationship Timeline Adds Context
The marriage marks Katie Price's fourth trip down the aisle, following previous unions with Peter Andre (2005-2009), Alex Reid (2010-2012), and Kieran Hayler (2013-2021). Her engagement to Andrews represents her ninth formal engagement overall.
The whirlwind romance comes just days after Price ended her two-year relationship with MAFS UK star JJ Slater, 32, who reportedly felt "blindsided" by both the breakup and subsequent marriage news. Slater is currently in Miami with family while "healing his broken heart," according to sources.
Health Concerns and Public Reaction
The surprise wedding has increased existing concerns about Price's wellbeing, following recent photographs that showed her looking "worryingly thin" during a shopping trip with daughter Princess. On her podcast, Price acknowledged her appearance, stating: "I know I look gaunt, I look like I'm ill – hence why I'm going to the doctors tomorrow."
She revealed she's undergoing medical tests to determine the cause of her weight loss, insisting she eats normally but cannot gain weight. Friends have expressed hope that Price will "question his motives" given Andrews' proposal history, while the public reaction has been mixed with surprise and concern about the speed of developments.
The couple reportedly connected through social media before Price flew to Dubai, with both purchasing wedding rings – including a diamond Cartier band for Price – before even meeting in person. Price described their connection as "esoteric" and said they realized quickly that their relationship was meant to be, getting matching tattoos within days of connecting online.
