    Katie Price married Lee Andrews "at first sight" as the couple exchanged vows just days after they first met

    The former glamour model, 47, announced her engagement to Lee earlier this week - just months after she split from her former partner JJ Slater - and on Sunday (25.01.26) she confirmed the pair had married just days after she flew out to Dubai to meet him for the first time. She has explained she met the Dubai-based businessman through social media and they connected "by words" before getting matching tattoos, buying each other rings and tying the knot.


    She told The Sun newspaper: "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."

    She went on to add: "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. He has now the best version of me which can only grow more, knowing we are each others'.

    "On the wedding, all I can say is 'fatale', and this was a wedding at First Sight."

    Pictures taken on the couple's big day show Katie wearing a long white dress with raunchy cut-outs as she stands with Lee saying her vows in an outdoor venue adorned with rose petals.

    She later confirmed the marriage on Instagram, writing: "Happiest Mr and Mrs".

    It is Katie's fourth trip down the aisle after previous marriages to Peter Andre - father of her children Junior and Princess, from 2005 until 2009, Alex Reid, between 2010 and 2012, and Kieran Hayler - dad to Bunny and Jett - from 2013 to 2021. Katie is also mother to eldest son Harvey from a previous relationship.

    Lee is Katie's fourth husband but the ninth man she has been engaged to.

    The model-turned-TV star had five previous engagements which failed to end in a wedding with Katie previously being betrothed to Warren Furman, Scott Sullivan, Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson and Carl Woods.

    She confirmed her engagement to Lee on Sunday by showing off her giant ring as she posed by a collection of red roses spelling out: 'Will you marry me Katie?'

    Katie also showed off her partner's hand, which has a fresh tattoo of her name inked on, and revealed that the pair were celebrating with Champagne, strawberries and chocolate cake.

    After the wedding, Katie went on to compare her story to Julia Roberts movie Pretty Woman by calling Lee her "real life Richard Gere".
