FROM declaring himself as a millionaire to the mysterious ‘travel ban’ saga, Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has seemingly left fans more concerned for the glamour model than ever before.
But as friends of the star grow increasingly worried about the whirlwind marriage, and more of Lee’s apparent untruths come to light, The Sun can reveal why Katie isn’t going anywhere, no matter how muddied the waters get.
But despite what appears to be a string of red flags – from questions about his finances and qualifications to damning allegations from his furious exes – Katie is determined to stick by her decision to wed Lee, a source has told The Sun.
“Everyone has told Katie multiple times that Lee is not the man for her and that she needs to walk away. Everyone believes that he is a con artist but she will not listen.
“His lies are mounting up and every week there is something new. Everyone feels helpless or the situation and they can’t keep trying and trying. It’s tiresome,” said the insider.
They continued that Katie is brushing off the worry and working harder than ever to ensure this marriage works out.
“The sad thing is, Katie won’t walk away because she hates being on her own and always has been that way.
“She is never without a man and has never been single. Even though she may appear fiery and strong from the outside deep down she is quite vulnerable and she hates being alone.
“She is very co-dependent and does rely on a man. She’s hates a quiet home it’s her worse nightmare,” they explained.
Back in February, The Sun revealed that Katie’s family were worried she could be “conned” by Lee, who they are all yet to meet.
In fact, the only member of Katie’s inner circle who has met Lee is best pal Kerry Katona, which ended in tears when he had a bust-up with her boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione.
This has led to fears’ for Katie from all angles, but the mum-of-five isn’t listening, says the source.
“Despite the fact that so many men have been her undoing before, she is addicted to love and always thinks the next time will be different.”
“No matter how many times she has her heartbroken, and even when everyone else sees the red flags, she puts blinkers on because she doesn’t want to see them.”
Katie jumped into a romance with Lee just weeks after she had split from boyfriend of almost two years, JJ Slater.
Before that, she was engaged to Carl Woods as the pair went back and forth during an on/off relationship.
She married for the first time in 2005 to Peter Andre, welcoming two children together before their divorce in 2009.
The following year, she tied the knot with Alex Reid in a Las Vegas wedding, but split from the cage fighter less than a year later.
In 2013 she then headed to the Bahamas to say ‘I Do’ to Kieran Hayler, they then finalised their divorce in 2021, three years after parting ways.
So now, following her Dubai ceremony with Lee earlier this year, our source says that Katie won’t accept another failed union.
“Katie is also very proud and really can’t have another failed marriage. She feels like she would be a laughing stock and a punchline, and she refuses to be the butt of people’s jokes,” they said.
“She’s very stubborn like that, and hates when her doubters are right, even if they have her best interests at heart.”
They continued: “She knows everyone is waiting for her marriage to Lee to fail, especially because of the whirlwind nature in which they got together, so she is determined to prove people wrong, even if that sometimes means turning a blind eye to the warning signs.”
