Katie Price sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when she tied the knot with new husband Lee Andrews in Dubai over the weekend – just two days after announcing their surprise engagement.
The former glamour model, 47, is said to have left her family ‘completely horrified’ by her shock fourth marriage, with her said to have only met the businessman just days before the wedding.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday night, Katie posted a loved-up selfie cosying up to her new husband, both sporting coordinating leather jackets, and captioned: ‘Happiest Mr and Mrs.’
The couple’s whirlwind romance comes just days after it was revealed that the mother-of-five had split from her boyfriend, JJ Slater, after two years of dating.
But while this seems shocking even for Katie, her colourful love life over the years, which now includes nine engagements and four marriages – has always attracted attention…
Katie connected with Lee, originally from Manchester, on social media, before she flew out to Dubai – with her family said to be ‘blindsided’ by the whirlwind romance
LEE ANDREWS – JANUARY 2026
Katie connected with Lee, originally from Manchester, on social media, before she flew out to Dubai – with her family said to be ‘blindsided’ by the whirlwind romance.
Announcing the news of their engagement, the reality star said they bought their wedding rings – hers a diamond Cartier band – before they even met.
She told The Sun: ‘How I met Lee was esoteric, we connected [by] both checking each others’ socials and quickly realised “wow this is for me”…in the old fashioned way, first by words which captured us both.
‘That evolved deeper as we connected further within days [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other.
‘All this without even meeting, we let fate but you could [say] destiny decide. 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.’
The TV personality added that Lee ‘has the best version’ of herself.

However, an insider close to the family has claimed they are ‘completely horrified’ by the news.
The source added Katie’s mother Amy and her five children – Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 10 – were all left completely in the dark about her wedding.
They told the publication: ‘Kate’s family are dumbstruck. 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. No one knows who Lee is, they know nothing about him.’
On Friday, she shocked fans even further by revealing her engagement, and later branded Lee ‘my real life Richard Gere‘.
The reality star shared a slew of snaps as she posed by a sea of red roses spelling out ‘will you marry me?’
Katie also showed off her partner’s hand, which had a fresh tattoo of her name inked on, and revealed the pair were celebrating with champagne, strawberries and chocolate cake.
Lee has been based in Dubai for 21 years and has documented his flash lifestyle on his social media channels.
According to his Instagram profile, he is CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 as well as an ‘Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness’.
He is a twice-married man who claims to be a multimillionaire – and called his personal trainer ex-wife ‘the perfect woman’ just 18 months ago.
Before Lee popped the question to Katie, making him her ninth fiancé, he was married for several years to Palestinian-born and Qatari-raised health and fitness coach Dina Taji, 41, whom he met in the gym in Dubai at the start of 2020.
And less than 18 months ago he was gushing over her, sharing a series of photos of them together and telling his followers: ‘Whether outside or in the office, who you share life and choose to partner with is sacred. Loving respect for this lady, Dina Taji.’
JJ SLATER – FEBRUARY 2024-JANUARY 2026
Katie was still with MAFS UK star JJ up until a few weeks before she went to Dubai to meet Lee.
Their break up came after nearly two years of dating after they first met in February 2024.
JJ, 32, took to his Instagram on Sunday to show his reaction to his ex getting hitched so soon after their break-up.
Sending a clear signal that he was unbothered and taking his mind off the drama, he posed for a shirtless mirror selfie onboard a boat in Florida, while flashing a wide grin and peace sign.
Sources told the Daily Mail that the news also came as a complete shock to the MAFS UK star, who is currently in Miami with his family while ‘healing his broken heart’.
Last week, the Daily Mail revealed that Katie ended her romance with JJ, which began in early 2024, after realising she didn’t see a future with him.
Insiders say cracks in their relationship had become ‘too obvious to ignore’ in recent months, despite Katie speaking of them potentially having a child and the pair spending Christmas together.

A source previously told the Daily Mail: ‘Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade.
‘Instead, her fears only grew, and she’s now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.
‘JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and moved back to his home in Essex. He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook.’
CARL WOODS: JULY 2020-NOVEMBER 2022
The reality star was previously in a relationship with Carl Woods, who she started dating in June 2020.
The couple got engaged after a whirlwind 10-month romance, with car salesman Carl, 36, asking her mother Amy, her father and son Junior for their permission.
Speaking to OK Magazine about their engagement at the time, Katie said: ‘It’s refreshing to be with a man that if I decided I never wanted to work again, he’d look after me, I just love him.’
However, the pair ended their on/off relationship at the end of 2022.
A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Things with Carl are very much over – he moved his things out of the Mucky Mansion this week and that’s what sparked Katie’s nights out – she wants to show him she doesn’t care.
‘Like many people in a break-up, she’s getting over him by having fun with her mates and partying away the pain.
‘She’s not about to sit at home moping and pining for him to come back.’
Carl previously claimed he had dumped Katie after claiming he found out she allegedly slept with someone else – and admitted to it.
