Katie Price has done it again — and this time, even her inner circle didn’t see it coming.
The former glamour model quietly married entrepreneur Lee Andrews in Dubai over the weekend, just days after revealing she was newly engaged.
The ceremony, intimate and rose-filled, came hot on the heels of a breakup that many believed was still fresh.
From Split to “I Do” in Record Time
Only days earlier, Katie had gone public with her split from JJ Slater.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, she announced she was engaged — and almost immediately followed it up with wedding photos.
The speed of it all has left fans stunned and, according to sources, her family completely blindsided.
Inside the Dubai Ceremony
Set in a lush garden scattered with rose petals, Katie and Lee exchanged vows while holding hands, reading from an iPad.
Champagne flowed afterward as the couple posed for celebratory photos.
Katie wore a daring cut-out dress with a thigh-high split, towering heels, and her trademark tattoos on full display.
Front and centre was her sizeable diamond engagement ring.
The Ring Raising Eyebrows
That ring has sparked chatter of its own.
Observers were quick to note it appears identical to the engagement ring Lee reportedly gave his former fiancée just months ago.
The similarities didn’t stop there — the proposal setup itself mirrored an earlier one, right down to rose petals, candles spelling out “Will you marry me,” and bouquets wrapped in the same brown paper.
A Groom With a Flashy Backstory
Lee Andrews has lived in Dubai for more than two decades and regularly showcases a luxury lifestyle online.
He describes himself as CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an investor in various ventures.
Twice married before, he has previously spoken glowingly about past partners, calling one ex-wife “the perfect woman” less than two years ago.
Echoes of Past Proposals
Before Katie, Lee proposed to Alana Percival, who reportedly invested in one of his businesses before later calling off the engagement amid doubts about his intentions.
Friends of Katie are said to be quietly hoping she’s asking the right questions this time.
Family Left Completely in the Dark
According to insiders, Katie’s family had no idea a wedding was even on the cards.
Her mother Amy and her five children — Harvey, Junior, Princess, Jett and Bunny — were reportedly stunned by the news and hadn’t spoken to her since the ceremony.
One source described the family as “dumbstruck,” adding that many questions await when she returns home.
Social Media Confirms the Fairytale
Katie made the marriage Instagram-official with a cosy selfie of the newlyweds in matching leather jackets. “Happiest Mr and Mrs,” she wrote.
Earlier posts showed roses, champagne, strawberries, chocolate cake — and Lee sporting a fresh tattoo of Katie’s name.
JJ Slater’s Cool-Headed Response
Meanwhile, JJ Slater appeared to take the news in stride.
The former partner, currently in Miami with family, shared a carefree shirtless selfie from a boat, flashing a peace sign.
Sources say he was shocked by the wedding but is focusing on healing after what he believed was a serious relationship.
Why Katie and JJ Really Ended
Insiders previously revealed that Katie ended things with JJ after months of doubts about their future.
Despite talking about having a child together and spending Christmas as a couple, she ultimately decided he wasn’t “husband material.”
JJ, by contrast, reportedly saw a long-term future and has since returned to Essex.
Falling in Love Before Ever Meeting
Katie has described her connection with Lee as “esoteric,” explaining they bonded through social media messages before ever meeting in person.
According to her, they bought rings for each other, got matching tattoos, and let “fate” do the rest — all before flying to Dubai.
“My Best Version” — According to Katie
In interviews, Katie has said Lee brings out the best in her, describing their bond as something beyond words.
She’s even compared him to a “real life Richard Gere,” insisting she’s happier than ever despite the noise around the whirlwind romance.
A History of Fast and Fearless Love
This marriage makes Lee Katie’s ninth fiancé and her fourth husband.
Over the years, she’s walked down the aisle with Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler — each relationship playing out very publicly, complete with highs, heartbreaks and headlines.
Growing Concern Over Her Health
The wedding news has also reignited worries about Katie’s wellbeing following visible weight loss.
Fans recently expressed concern after photos showed her looking noticeably thinner.
Katie has since confirmed she’s undergoing medical tests to understand what’s going on.
Katie Addresses the Speculation
Speaking on her podcast, Katie acknowledged the concern, admitting she looks “gaunt” and wants answers herself.
She’s insisted her eating habits haven’t changed and says she’s eager to regain weight once doctors identify the cause.
What Happens Now?
For now, Katie appears wrapped up in newlywed bliss in Dubai, while questions swirl back home.
With family relationships strained, fans divided, and a relationship that moved at lightning speed, all eyes are on what comes next when she returns to the UK — and whether this fairytale will stand the test of time.
