Katie Price has tied the knot with Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews in a surprise wedding ceremony, marking her fourth marriage and leaving fans and family in a state of shock. The pair exchanged vows in Dubai shortly after announcing their engagement, with the ceremony described as a "shotgun" event that unfolded rapidly.
The Ceremony and Attire
During the quick ceremony, Katie Price was seen wearing a cut-out, bodycon white dress, while Lee Andrews opted for white linen trousers and a taupe shirt. The couple were photographed smiling and kissing immediately after the wedding, showcasing their apparent happiness.
Romantic Proposal and Social Media Posts
Prior to the wedding, Katie shared a picture of Lee's romantic proposal, which featured rose petals arranged to spell out "Will you marry me?" She was later seen wearing a huge diamond ring. On Instagram, Lee posted a photo with Katie in his Stories, captioning it: "When nobody will never understand how this fairytale happened." Katie reposted this image on her own account.
Lee also shared a playful image of his legs on Instagram, referring to Katie as his wife with the caption: "When your wife just loves a man's legs." Katie posted a photo with her new husband at the luxury Burj Al Arab hotel, captioning it: "My real life Richard Gere."
Background and Concerns
This marriage is the fourth for Katie Price, aged 47, who was previously married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. Lee Andrews is the CEO of Åura Group Future Urban Travel and has lived in Dubai for over two decades.
An onlooker revealed that the wedding had no attendees, with only Katie and Lee present. The insider told The Sun: "Katie couldn't stop smiling; she seemed so taken with Lee. They said their vows and then kissed; it was sweet to watch."
Family Reactions and Past Relationships
Katie's family are reportedly concerned that she is "moving too fast," especially following her recent split from JJ Slater, which was confirmed in January after rumours since before Christmas. A source explained that the family only learned of the engagement via Instagram posts this week and were "stunned," as they had not yet met Lee. "It came as a massive shock," the source said, adding that the family were "upset" by the breakup with JJ.
On her podcast earlier this month, Katie discussed the breakup, stating: "I don't want to waste my time. You know, if I'm not loved up and it's not going, these are mistakes I've made in the past. You stay, just go along, and then it ends up getting nasty."
JJ Slater is said to have been "blindsided" by Katie's engagement and has unfollowed her on Instagram in response.
Katie's Personal Reflections
Describing her new marriage, Katie said it was "a wedding at first sight" and declared: "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." This statement highlights her joy and the unique connection she feels with Lee Andrews.
