Katie Price has been spotted enjoying a casual Sunday lunch with a close friend, during which her companion couldn't help but admire her stunning new wedding ring. This relaxed domestic scene unfolds against a backdrop of significant personal turmoil, as it has recently emerged that her husband, businessman Lee Andrews, is currently prohibited from leaving Dubai.
A New Marriage Under Scrutiny
The former glamour model, 47, entered into her fourth marriage just last month in an intimate Dubai ceremony, following a whirlwind engagement to Andrews, 43. While Price has since returned to the United Kingdom to be with her children, her new spouse has remained in the UAE, unable to depart due to legal restrictions.
Sunday Roast and Ring Admiration
Taking to Instagram, Price shared snippets of her day with friend Lewis Nicholls. The pair shared a traditional roast dinner, catching up in what appeared to be a cheerful setting. Nicholls posted a heartfelt caption alongside their photos, writing: 'Reunited ❤️ lovely to be invited for a roast dinner with Mike at my lovely friend Katie's. Its actually nice to see her so happy and loving life and not gonna lie that ring is beautiful'.
During the gathering, Price also addressed swirling online speculation directly. In an Instagram Story video, she vehemently denied claims that the fresh tattoos she and Andrews recently acquired—each other's names inked on their hands—were created using artificial intelligence. 'Look, I'm licking it, touching it, rubbing it, that is not AI everyone,' she stated firmly. As Nicholls commented on her ring from behind the camera, Price affirmed, 'My ring is here, look, here with me. That is not AI.'
Serious Allegations and a Travel Ban
This social media activity comes after reports revealed that Andrews spent three weeks detained in a Dubai jail last October. He is alleged to have forged the signature of a former partner, personal trainer Dina Taji, to secure a £200,000 loan in her name without her knowledge. According to sources, Taji discovered the alleged fraud after receiving a call from the mortgage company and subsequently filed a legal case.
Under Dubai law, individuals subject to ongoing criminal investigations, including those involving unpaid debts or civil lawsuits, can be barred from leaving the country. This travel ban is reportedly preventing Andrews from reuniting with Price in the UK. A man claiming to have shared a cell with Andrews has described him as a 'compulsive liar' and a 'scammer,' suggesting the marriage is 'just another of his scams'.
Doubts and Displays of Devotion
Despite the serious allegations, the couple has continued to publicly display their affection. Andrews recently showcased a new tattoo of Price's name on his hip, which she proudly shared on her social media. Both also sport matching '11 11' angel number tattoos, symbolising love and connection.
However, sources close to Price's wider family indicate the mother-of-five is beginning to harbour doubts about her rushed marriage, fearing Andrews may not be the man she believed him to be. These concerns are compounded by his failure to travel to the UK as promised last week, with Andrews citing property viewings in the UAE as the reason for the delay.
A Pattern of Similar Behaviour
Further scrutiny has revealed a pattern in Andrews' behaviour. His marriage proposal to Price in the Burj Al Arab was reportedly identical in setup and location to a proposal he made to another woman, Alana Percival, just four months prior. Percival has since publicly warned Price on social media, branding Andrews a 'lying swindler' and urging her to 'run for the hills'.
Percival claims that after she posted her engagement photos, she was contacted by Andrews' estranged wife and two other ex-partners, all of whom labelled him a liar. She alleges he showered her with expensive gifts, including Louis Vuitton and Cartier items, and transferred large sums of money.
As Price navigates this complex personal situation from the UK, enjoying simple pleasures like a roast dinner with friends, the future of her new marriage remains uncertain amidst a growing list of serious allegations against her husband.
