Junior Andre’s reaction to Katie Price’s wedding revealed & the cruel snub that left her sister Sophie ‘close to tears’

WHEN Katie Price got married to Lee Andrews at breakneck speed, just days after they began dating, her loyal fans were left bewildered. 

For her family, the reaction has been even more stark. Here, insiders tell us how Pricey’s son Junior responded to the Dubai nuptials – and why her closest ally, sister Sophie, has been left reeling as concern for the mother- of-five reaches an all-time high.

Hours after revealing her extravagant engagement, The Sun told how Katie and Lee had in fact got hitched with none of her family there. Her fourth marriage took place less than a week after she had met Lee. 

It was an unusually quiet ceremony for the former glamour model . An officiator was seen in front of the pair reading from a script as Katie, who wore a £12 dress from Shein, said her vows.

She gushed about how happy she was, telling fans: “All I can say is ‘fatale’, and this was a wedding at First Sight.”

Yet celebratory messages from her nearest and dearest have not been forthcoming, despite Price, 47, returning to the UK earlier this week without Lee, 43, who has since been accused of being a ‘swindler’.





There’s only so much Katie’s kids can take. It is really not fair.


Insider

One source said: “It’s just another day on Planet Katie, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

“She will always have a close bond with her children, but there’s only so much they can take. It is really not fair.” 

Her son Junior, 20, has refrained from posting to his half a million Instagram followers in the days following the whirlwind wedding – which is not legally binding. 

And it is not only Junior’s fans who have got the silent treatment from the singer.

Rather tellingly, we have been told that the rapper, who is “very close” to dad Peter and stepmum Dr Emily, has not contacted his mother to offer his congratulations on her marriage to Andrews. 

A source said: “Junior is used to Katie’s increasingly erratic behaviour, but even this took him by surprise.

“He is so fed up with his mum’s constant dramas. He wants no part in it. He’s hardly going to send a congratulations message about a bloke he hasn’t even met.”

But while Junior is more resilient, sister Princess, 18, has given clues to her hurt feelings, taking to TikTok in the days following her mum’s wedding ceremony to post two emotional videos on the social media platform, including one featuring a tearful girl.





Sophie is understandably horrified by it all. It’s been incredibly draining for her. The sisters are incredibly close so it was very hard for Sophie not to know what was going on. 


Insider

The writing on top of the clip reads: “I feel everything very deeply” with an accompanying voiceover on top of the clip that says: “I’m such an incredibly, stupidly, sensitive person that everything that happens to me I feel everything really intensely.”

Another featured a teen girl getting into bed and wiping tears from her eyes as she lets out a sigh.

The writing on top reads: “When the smallest thing upsets me, and now I have to be non-verbal and easily irritated for hours until I can let it go”.

Insiders say that despite the cryptic posts it is unlikely that Princess, who remains close to her mother, will publicly condemn her. But a pal of the star confided: “It is so selfish to create all this drama just before Princess is about to launch series two of The Princess Diaries. This should be her turn in the spotlight. Not her mums.”

In recent years as Katie’s fame has dwindled, she has become increasingly reliant on her younger half-sister Sophie, 36, who has devoted a large part of her life to looking after her.

Despite managing the wayward reality star, organising much of her chaotic life, and co-hosting a podcast together, Sophie was not invited to Katie’s wedding.

An insider said: “Sophie is understandably horrified by it all. It’s been incredibly draining for her. The sisters are incredibly close so it was very hard for Sophie not to know what was going on. 

“They were due to record a podcast like normal this week, but at the last minute, they decided not to go ahead.





Their mum is utterly beside herself with worry.

“Sophie felt the need to say sorry to her fans, while Katie kept silent. It is quite typical of their relationship that Sophie is the one picking up the slack, and she’s honestly struggling with it at the moment. It has caused tension between the siblings, with Sophie just desperate for Katie to be ok. 

“Their mum is utterly beside herself with worry – they have all been through so much with Katie, but thought the worst was over in recent years.

“They don’t believe Lee is the man he said he was and are just waiting for Katie to click. It was a huge relief when he did a U-turn on coming to the UK. Sophie was not ready to meet him and deal with all that.”

Sophie made her feelings very clear on the situation today as she shared a picture of the countryside and wrote: “This and never stepping foot in Dubai.”

Last night, Sophie took to social media to explain what was happening to the podcast.

Looking exhausted, she said: “Hi guys, how are you all? I know you’ve all been chomping at the bit to find out what has been going on. All our DMs have been going off,” she began in her video address.

Lee’s life has come into question since they married

“Let’s just say, it’s been one hell of a week. We have done over a 100 episodes of the podcast, which sounds absolutely nuts when it’s just me and Kate doing our b*s chat.

“We will be back next week as normal, and we will be able to update you guys on what’s been going on. It will be business as usual.”

Such was the emotion on display that one commentator posted: “’You are a good sister. Hope you’re ok, Sophie, you look like you’re holding back tears”

Sophie has always been outspoken about Katie’s relationships, while trying to be as supportive as possible.

Just a couple of weeks ago, she expressed her horror when Katie announced she was looking for a Richard Gere type.

She retorted: “Absolutely not, you need a break, you need time to yourself’.”

Katie completely ignored her, and when she announced her engagement, she gushed about finding her ‘real life Richard Gere’. The film is, of course, about a wealthy gentleman who sweeps a prostitute off her feet. 

The sisters –  who have an 11-year age gap- have talked in the past about being “like chalk and cheese”.

Sophie was just six years old when her big sister found fame, meaning that she doesn’t remember a time when Katie wasn’t in the spotlight.

However, Katie’s fame made her a target at school – and she was bullied by cruel classmates.

She recalled: “It was just girls saying nasty things, when you’re a teenager… You know what girls can be like.”

Yet a beautiful relationship blossomed, with the sisters becoming firm friends and podcast favourites.

But after the latest cruel snub, it might be a while before fans get a new episode of the podcast.

Katie Price’s new husband challenges star’s cage fighter ex Alex Reid to MMA match ‘anytime, anywhere’ after wedding dig

FORMER glamour model Katie Price’s new husband has challenged her cage fighter ex to a mixed martial arts match for criticising her whirlwind wedding. 

Lee Andrews, 41, wants to take on Alex Reid, 50, in a one-on-one because he called her latest marriage irresponsible.

The businessman goaded Reid as he told The Sun he wanted to fight him “anytime, anywhere” in Britain, Dubai or Abu Dhabi. 

He also said he had spoken with Katie about the challenge only briefly, but insisted: “We do support each other.” 

Lee — dubbed a “Walter Mitty” over his long list of outlandish or untrue claims including that he is Director of Philanthropy at The Prince’s Trust — confidently claimed he had his own experience in sparring, partial boxing and “elite fitness”. 

He said he wanted it to be on an Ultimate Fighting Championship five-round match setting and said proceeds would go towards supporting mum-of-five Katie and charity

NOT LEE-VING

Katie Price’s husband in shock U-turn he WON’T fly to UK to see her

It comes after Reid, who was Katie’s second husband, made his feelings plain over her fourth wedding.

He said: “It’s irresponsible on your family and the children to marry someone you don’t know.” Reid added: “I genuinely wish the man good luck marrying her. 

“I hope the marriage lasts longer than the court-ordered debts that she still owes me and to many others, demonstrating accountability and responsibility. 

“It’s not really her strong point. Maybe, he could be the best thing in the world to happen to her. 

“He could help her pay her debts and be accountable with money.”  

Former cross-dresser Reid, who divorced Katie in 2012 after a two-year marriage, was a professional in mixed martial arts from 2000. 

Lee and Katie, 47, got married in Dubai at the weekend in a whirlwind wedding just days after meeting each other. 

The union shocked fans and came shortly after she split from her boyfriend of two years, JJ Slater

Her family are understood to be concerned about her, while an ex of Lee warned: “Run for the hills.” 

Katie flew back to Britain by herself on Monday. 

Lee claimed two days later that she went home early because of her children and insisted he had to “wrap a few things up” and would fly back the next day to join her. 

But he appeared to U-turn when he posted an Instagram story yesterday seemingly still in Dubai. 

He wrote: “Waiting for Katie.” And he said in the video: “I’m waiting for Katie to come out here, love you so much Katie.”

Katie Price cancels podcast after shock wedding and being told to ‘run a mile’ by ‘swindler’ husband’s ex

KATIE Price has cancelled her podcast after her shock wedding to Lee Andrews and being told to ‘run a mile’ from her ‘swindler’ new husband by his ex. 

New episodes of The Katie Price Show podcast – which the 47-year-old hosts with younger sister Sophie, 36 – drop every Thursday.

But Katie’s sister Sophie took to social media to announce that an episode would not be dropping today.

“Hi guys, how are you all? I know you’ve all been chomping at the bit to find out what has been going on. All our DMs have been going off,” she began in her video address.

“Let’s just say, it’s been one hell of a week. We have done over a 100 episodes of the podcast which sounds absolutely nuts when it’s just me and Kate doing our b*s chat.

“We will back next week as normal and we will be able you guys on what’s been going on. It will be business as usual,” she signed off.

Katie ‘love-bomber’ Lee is a terrifying type of man – my ex scarred me for life

No doubt fans will be disappointed at not getting an update on married life from Katie, after she tied the knot with Lee, 41, in Dubai last weekend – allegedly just days after meeting. 

Shortly after the wedding The Sun exposed him as a fantasist who lied about his career and faked celebrity links with AI-generated photos.

We also told this week how Lee had proposed to fitness enthusiast Alana Percival four months ago — in exactly the same way.

And now Alana has urged Katie to proceed with caution.

She took to social media to post photos of her on a beach holiday.

But her caption came with a serious message, which read: “Catching flights not fiancés – lucky escape.

“Somebody with your ex right now thinking they found The One,” while tagging Katie in the post.

Alana added: “More to come today’s news is just a warm up.”

She then followed up with an Instagram post as she slammed her ex for his behaviour during their brief relationship.

She claimed: “This man had me shrinking myself, making me not want to speak up.

“Telling me not to speak to my friends about how he acted because they all told me to leave him.

“He even ruined some of my friendships, pulled me away from people I love by protecting him.”

She continued: “Made unlimited promises making me look as bad as him because I was on his side.

“Finally I get to speak freely and tell you all.

“I hope Katie listens, I wish I had listened to all the others that warned me.”

She added: “Please ladies if you experience anything like this run a mile and more. Keep running.”

Katie Price reveals HUGE new tattoo after surprise wedding and getting new husband’s name inked

The mother-of-five got hitched for a fourth time in a quiet ceremony in Dubai with no loved ones present.

It came just hours after Katie revealed they had got engaged, calling it a “wedding at first sight”.

Katie has since returned to the UK after without her new man, while Lee took to social media to dispel reports that their marriage wasn’t official in the eyes of the law.

Now Katie has showed off yet another new tattoo – and it’s huge.

LOVE HURTS

Katie ‘love-bomber’ Lee is a terrifying type of man – my ex scarred me for life

The media personality posted a picture of her revealing a new design on her left shoulder.

This is the latest inking to her massive collections.

Just a a few days ago, Katie revealed she had her new man’s name inked on her hand, while he had her name on his.

And earlier this month, the podcaster showcased her huge flower tattoo on her bum as well as horses on her forearm and stomach.

Her various leg inkings were also on display.

Katie wrote: “I absolutely love it!! Now that is what you call a piece of ART!”

When it came to her bum art, Katie said: “Tattoo round 3,” with a picture of her full behind peeking out from red tracksuit bottoms.

Earlier this year, Katie stripped naked to show off her tattoo-covered back and captioned the revealing shot: “Join my Onlyfans link in my bio,” referring to the X-rated online subscription service.

Katie Price’s relationship history

We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price’s relationship history.

1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman – aka Ace – with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn’t make it as far as ‘I do’.

1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as ‘the love of her life’ but she broke up with the singer after he allegedly cheated on her.

2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie’s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with his son throughout his life.

2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity.

2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to “punch Peter’s lights out” when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre.

2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009.

2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding.

2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani… but it ended as quickly as it begun.

2011-2012: They didn’t speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America.

2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce.

2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019.

2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shine to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year.

2024-2026: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February 2024. The pair split in January 2026 after two years together.

2026: Katie shocked fans when she revealed she is engaged to businessman Lee Andrews.

KATIE’S JETS HOME

Earlier today, Lee revealed the real reason he had not jetted back to the UK with Katie.

He said: “I’m going be meeting Katie tomorrow in the UK.

“I just need to wrap up a few things here.

“She had to get back for her children because she’s a good mother and she’s lovely like that.”

Despite currently being apart, a smiling Lee said that he and Katie “are so happy” and that more information would be coming out via their publicists in the coming days.

“Hey guys, how are you?” he began in a video posted on his Instagram Stories.

“So yeah, myself and Katie are legally married okay. I think you know that.

“No, I’m not a gigolo,” he added. “There is a press release going out.

“I wish,” he said of the gigolo nickname. “I would have got more money from it wouldn’t I, I don’t think those are the going rates in Dubai, but let’s look at it obtusely.

“So yes, I’m in Dubai, she’s in England,” he confirmed again of their current locations. “You’ll see us reunite.”

Before signing off, Lee made a brief swipe at online speculation over the couple’s wedding rings.

Some eagle-eyed fans claimed that Katie previously wasn’t wearing her diamond engagement ring and wedding band on the correct finger.

“Our rings are on the correct hand,” he said in the video, jokily adding: “Which is on the right hand, no I’m joking, it’s on the left hand.”

“And the tattoos still remain,” he added, flashing a glimpse of his Katie tribute inking on his hand.

The Sun understands Katie’s family, including her children, Princess and Junior Andre, had no idea she was getting married for a fourth time.

A source has exclusively told us that her loved ones are set to take action after growing alarmed by the quick nuptials.

“They’re planning on sitting down with her for a serious talk today,” the insider said.

“Everyone is worried she’s spinning out of control.

“They haven’t even met this man and if she’s only known him a week, he could be anyone.

“Nobody is planning to hold back.”

Katie Price’s new mother-in-law takes cryptic swipe about being ‘upset with people and situations’ after shock wedding

KATIE Price’s new mother-in-law has taken a cryptic swipe at the newlyweds with a social media post.

Lee’s mum Trisha recently broke her silence on the shock wedding, claiming she knew the pair were going to get hitched.

At the time, she told The Mirror that if Katie and Lee are happy then she is too.

But despite putting on a brave face, it now seems Trisha has doubts about the marriage.

The clairvoyant wasn’t present at the wedding and, today, posted a quote to her Facebook page that said: “Do not get upset with people or situations; both are powerless without your reaction.”

Trisha previously said to The Mirror: “There’s a lot of lies going around about Lee and that’s made me really upset. He’s not been married twice. I just want to defend my son, but I can’t say much more until I know everything.

“He did tell me that the wedding was happening. He spoke to me and if he is happy, I am happy – he’s my son, and that’s all that matters.”

Speaking about Katie, Trisha added: “Of course, I know who Katie is.

“I’ve always been very neutral about her. Everyone deserves a chance, you should never judge anyone in life.”

Last week the reality TV star sent fans wild as she dropped a series of engagement snaps.

In one photo, the podcast host was seen standing beside rose petals that were arranged to read “will you marry me” before she showcased her huge “25 carat” diamond ring.

Model Katie has since arrived back in the UK as two of Lee’s former lovers have hit out and warned that she should “run for the hills.”

Lee, who has also been caught faking his Instagram posts using AI, has revealed he is inbound for Britain as he wraps up “business” in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Katie’s family are said to have been blindsided and are planning an intervention.

Katie Price’s wedding to fourth husband Lee Andrews ‘ISN’T legally binding’ as worried family plan to intervene

KATIE Price’s surprise Dubai wedding to new husband Lee Andrews has been confirmed as non-legally binding.

The nuptials – which took place at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai – were officiated by part-time DJ and celebrant Darryl Rees, who has since broken his silence on his involvement that day.

“What I do is a symbolic wedding,” he told the Daily Mail. “I’m like the showman, and then they get married in the courts with all the paperwork.”

Darryl, who has been operating as a celebrant in Dubai for over five years explained that couples who opt for these style of nuptials have to then have the legalities carried out in a Dubai court or UK registry office either pre or post-ceremony.

Darryl added that the newlyweds “mentioned that they were going to get the wedding legalised the day after on the Monday.”

Junior Andre sparks rumours he’s engaged to reality star girlfriend 

It’s currently not known if Katie and Lee have filed to make their marriage official in a court of law.

“From my point of view, they seemed like a lovely couple,” he said of his experience of their wedding.

“They appeared very much smitten by each other. When I was speaking to Lee initially, he was clearly head over heels for Katie and very excited to marry the girl.

“And Katie seemed very taken with him as well. They were both looking into each other’s eyes the whole time when I was doing the reading, never looked away, just transfixed like any couple would be, madly in love.

Darryl revealed that Lee reached out to him on Saturday enquiring into his services, one day after the couple announced their engagement on Instagram.

“When Lee messaged me on the Saturday, he said ‘I want to do a wedding with my fiancée’.

“Then he gave me the names as Lee Andrews and Katie Price, and I was a bit taken aback, so I wasn’t that surprised when I saw it was indeed her the following day.”

Following their big day, Katie and Lee have been sharing several loved-up selfies on social media.

“The happiest Mr and Mrs” read one photo caption, with another photo showing the pair cuddled up together in white dressing gowns.

Now back in the UK – and seemingly apart – Katie took to Instagram to reaffirm her love for Lee amid concern from her family.

“Despite all the noise going on, I miss you Lee,” she said in a video posted on her Stories.

“I love you unconditionally,” she concluded, kissing her huge diamond engagement ring.

The Sun understands Katie’s family, including her children, Princess and Junior Andre, had no idea she was getting married for a fourth time.

Katie Price’s new ‘millionaire’ husband sent me FILTHY sexts weeks before shock wedding… I think whole thing is bulls**t

KATIE Price’s new husband sent X-rated messages to an influencer just weeks before their wedding.

Businessman Lee Andrews called ex-bodybuilding champ Tina Prodromou, 48, a “sexy little beast” last month – and also joked about marrying her months earlier.

Single mum-of-two Tina began chatting to Lee, thought to be 41, online in December 2024.

The pair shared flirty messages but have never met in person.
Lee then wed glamour model and mum-of-five Katie, 47, in a shock whirlwind romance on Sunday.

Tina, who last spoke to Lee on December 31, told The Sun: “He would be very sexual at times, sometimes saying what he’d like to do – he’s flirty.

“I would go along with it, but my boundary was always the same – I’d shut it down with, ‘If we ever get married, then you can’.

LOVE SEARCH

Katie Price had talks for Celebs Go Dating BEFORE split from ex JJ Slater

“The sudden marriage announcement doesn’t sit right with me.
“I think it could be a massive publicity stunt. I’m calling b******t on it.”

Lee sent Tina racy messages – too graphic to be repeated in a family newspaper – on December 30, and they last spoke the following day.

Katie claims she met Lee through social media after her split from JJ Slater earlier this month.

The separation was confirmed on January 9, but JJ had already moved out of Katie’s home by this point, just days after they spent Christmas together.

Katie’s new relationship timeline is muddied by the fact she appeared to have Lee’s name tattooed on her hand on January 12.

She told The Sun the tattoo and the purchase of their wedding rings came days after they first hit it off.

In other Katie Price news…

“How I met Lee was esoteric; we connected [by] both checking each others’ socials and quickly realised, ‘wow, this is for me’,” she said.

“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.”

Lee then wed Katie in a quiet Dubai ceremony on Sunday – with none of their loved ones present – after they connected online.

It came just two days after Katie stunned friends and fans by revealing on Instagram that she had got engaged for a ninth time.

The pair swapped flirty messages but never met in person

Tina, from Enfield, North London, said: “We had good banter and he always came across warm and respectful with me – that’s why the timeline has shocked me.

“To be speaking to me like that at the end of December – he was affectionate, explicit – then a month later he’s married… it just doesn’t make sense to me.

“I’m not trying to paint him as a bad person, because I was genuinely drawn to him as a person.

“I just know it didn’t align with the person he presented himself as to me.
“I was genuinely shocked and, if I’m honest, a bit disappointed – because I’m someone who values integrity. It simply didn’t sit well with me.”

Tina, who ended a previous relationship last May, added: “After my break-up, I did play along more than before – but I still kept it to that same boundary, so there were no blurred lines.

“I told him that if we don’t find someone in the future, we will just marry each other.

“It was just flirty banter.”

British-Greek Tina has 19,000 Instagram followers on her account, @greeksuperwoman_official – where she frequently posts pictures flaunting her chiselled body.

In one exchange, on September 12, Lee responded to a picture Tina posted on her Instagram Story showing her toned abs, saying: “Gorgeous one!

“Absolutely looking amazing!!!!!!

“The things I’d do to you!!!

“When we are married.”

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Yesterday, we told how Lee had proposed to Katie in exactly the same way he did to his ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, four months ago.

He gave her a chunky diamond ring and popped the question at Dubai’s swanky Burj Al Arab hotel by using rose petals to spell out the words: “Will you marry me?”

Brit real estate worker Alana, who is understood to have invested in one of Lee’s companies, got into a relationship with him after they met on a beach in the United Arab Emirates city last May.

But she called off their romance after becoming suspicious of his intentions.

Twice-married Lee was also today accused of proposing to Katie with the same ring he had given to his ex-wife, Dina Sari Taji, whom he reportedly was with from 2020 to 2024.

Lee is Katie’s fourth husband – following singer Peter Andre, ex-cage fighter Alex Reid, and personal trainer Kieran Hayler.

She only split from her Married At First Sight star ex JJ Slater, 32, earlier this month after nearly two years together.

The Sun revealed how Katie had married Lee on Sunday, two days after he proposed.

Our exclusive photographs showed former glamour model Katie, who has been married three times before, saying her vows with Lee in a top-secret location in Dubai.

Insiders said none of Katie’s family or friends knew she was getting married and found out on The Sun’s website.

A source added: “Everyone was gobsmacked.

“No one knew about the engagement, nor the wedding.

“The first time those close to her found out was on social media or in the news.

“Everyone is still in shock.”

Katie is set to speak about the whirlwind romance in full for the first time on her podcast with her sister, Sophie, later this week.

Katie, who has got matching tattoos with her new fella, told The Sun: “How I met Lee was esoteric.

“We connected by checking each other’s socials and quickly realised, ‘Wow this is for me’.”

Lee and Katie were approached for comment yesterday.

Olympic snowboarder accused of running drug cartel pleads not guilty

Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder who allegedly became the head of a billion-dollar drug trafficking organization, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges against him Monday and was ordered detained as his case proceeds.

Wedding, who authorities say was in hiding for more than a decade and on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list, was arrested last week. He faces 17 felonies in two separate indictments.

During the court hearing at the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and Courthouse in Santa Ana, Wedding, who wore a beige jail uniform and black Crocs, scanned the gallery and occasionally smirked. Hulking and tattooed, the 6’3” Wedding towered over his attorney and the deputy marshals standing guard in the courtroom.

U.S. Magistrate Judge John D. Early ordered Wedding jailed without bond and set the next hearing for February 11.

The judge set a tentative trial date in March, although Wedding’s attorney, Anthony Colombo, said it would likely take more time for the case to unfold.

Colombo did not argue for his client’s release on Monday afternoon, later citing “the whirlwind” Wedding had experienced since his apprehension.

“It takes time to put the sureties in place, to have the information for the court to establish that there’s a condition or combination of conditions that could secure his release,” Colombo told reporters. “We were not in the position today to do that and we anticipate addressing that at a later date.”

Colombo said he first met with his client several days ago, after his arrival in the U.S., and described him as being “in good spirits.” Colombo disputed claims from federal authorities that Wedding had been in hiding out in Mexico.

“Hiding out and living somewhere are two different things,” Colombo said. “I would characterize him as living, the government can characterize it their way.”

Colombo added that his client was arrested and “he did not surrender.”

Wedding, who was known by many aliases, including “El Jefe” and “Public Enemy,” is accused of becoming a major trafficker of cocaine into Canada and the United States and a ruthless leader who ordered killings, including one of a witness in a 2024 federal narcotics case against him. The alleged order resulted in the victim being shot to death in a restaurant in Medellín, Colombia, in January 2025, prosecutors said.

The former Olympic snowboarder was charged in a 2024 indictment with running a continuing criminal enterprise, assorted drug trafficking charges and directing the murders of two members of a family in Canada in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment.

“Just to tell you how bad of a guy Ryan Wedding is, he went from an Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco trafficker in modern times,” Patel said in a news conference Friday announcing the arrest. “He is a modern-day El Chapo, he is a modern-day Pablo Escobar. And he thought he could evade justice.”

When questioned about authorities likening his client to El Chapo and Pablo Escobar, Colombo said “I think it’s overstated, that’s their spin.”

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said last week that Wedding’s alleged global drug trafficking organization “used Los Angeles as its primary point of distribution.”

Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles FBI field office, said after Wedding’s capture that his alleged organization shipped approximately 60 metric tons of cocaine through Southern California on its way to Canada.

Authorities have arrested 36 people in connection with their role in the transnational organization and the U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned 19 people, including Wedding, according to Davis.

Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi previously said Wedding’s operation was responsible for generating more than $1 billion a year in illegal drug proceeds.

Wedding competed for his home country, Canada, in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

An experienced attorney, Colombo previously represented Rubén Oseguera González, also known as “El Menchito,” the son of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Oseguera González was sentenced last year to a term of life in prison plus 30 years to run consecutively for his role in a major drug trafficking conspiracy.
