Kerry Katona's Candid Reaction to Katie Price's Whirlwind Wedding
Kerry Katona has offered her unfiltered response to best friend Katie Price's surprise wedding in Dubai, describing the glamour model as 'absolutely bonkers' while simultaneously pledging her unwavering support. The former Atomic Kitten star shared her thoughts in her latest column for new! magazine, reacting to Price's fourth marriage to businessman Lee Andrews.
The Rapid Romance That Shocked Fans
Price's whirlwind romance has captivated showbiz circles and left fans astonished. The 47-year-old model first revealed her engagement to a mystery man just days after confirming her split from JJ Slater, who was reportedly left heartbroken by the sudden development. The engagement announcement came from a luxurious Dubai hotel suite adorned with rose petals spelling out 'Will You Marry Me Katie?' before she quickly identified Andrews as her fiancé.
Within an astonishingly short timeframe, barely allowing the dust to settle on her surprise engagement, Price announced she had tied the knot with Andrews in Dubai. The couple even revealed they have matching tattoos, adding to the intensity of their rapid relationship progression.
Katona's Mixed Feelings on the Marriage
Writing in her column, Katona expressed both affection and concern for her longtime friend. 'As Katie's friend I absolutely love and support her no matter what she does - but she's absolutely bonkers,' the 45-year-old celebrity confessed. She added insight into Price's motivations, suggesting 'Kate just wants to be loved.'
However, Katona made clear that she personally wouldn't have taken such a dramatic step. 'When I do get proposed to I want to make sure it's forever,' she stated, highlighting her more cautious approach to relationships compared to Price's impulsive romantic decisions.
Questions Surrounding the New Husband
The wedding has generated significant media scrutiny, particularly regarding Andrews' background and online presence. Several claims made by the Dubai businessman have been called into question:
- His LinkedIn profile listed him as the 'Founder' of Royalton Blue Diamond Resorts, but company representatives have confirmed he has never been affiliated with the organisation in any professional capacity
- Photographs showing him alongside Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian have been identified as AI-generated fakes and subsequently removed from his social media profiles
- A source close to Kim Kardashian confirmed she has never met or worked with Andrews, describing such fabricated images as a recurring problem for the celebrity
Confusion Over Travel Plans
Further adding to the drama surrounding the newlyweds, Andrews initially announced plans to travel to the UK to join Price, who had returned to be with her children. In an Instagram story, he stated 'I'm going be meeting Katie tomorrow in the UK' and praised her as a 'good mother.'
However, he appeared to reverse these plans shortly afterward, posting a now-deleted video suggesting Price would instead be travelling to Dubai. The clip featured him blowing a kiss to the camera while saying 'I'm waiting for Katie to come out here, love you so much Katie.'
The relationship continues to dominate headlines as questions persist about its authenticity and longevity, with Katona's comments reflecting the mixture of support and concern from those closest to the frequently controversial reality star.
