Katie Price floored fans on Sunday when it emerged that she had tied the knot for the fourth time – but perhaps her latest move shouldn’t be such a surprise to anyone.
Katie, 47, revealed on Instagram that she had married her businessman fiancé Lee Andrews in a surprise Dubai ceremony, just days after going public with their relationship – leaving her fans and family stunned.
This is the former glamour model and mum-of-five’s fourth wedding to date – having previously been married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.

But a source has told the Mirror that Katie, who revealed she had split from her partner of just under two years, JJ Slater, earlier this month – is just the kind of person to jump straight into another relationship headfirst..
“She always says the same thing [about being happy alone and not needing a man in her life] but she’ll be throwing herself into the next relationship,” they said. “She wants to find a husband and can’t cope without being with a partner. It wouldn’t be surprising if she hasn’t got someone lined up already.”
Indeed, in a previous interview with The Times, Katie had admitted that she just can’t cope with being alone. She said, “Being single doesn’t suit me. I try but it doesn’t work… I just like being with someone — having that soul mate”.
The TV personality shocked fans on Friday by announcing her surprise engagement to new beau Lee. Two days later, it emerged that she and the CEO of Åura Group Future Urban Travel, who was twice-married previously and has been living in Dubai for over 20 years, were now man and wife.
In photos published by The Sun, Katie and Lee were seen exchanging vows at a quickie Dubai ceremony in matching white outfits.
Katie wore a white busty dress with a cut-out by the stomach, while Lee wore white trousers and a beige linen shirt. The pair looked ecstatic and were seen kissing following the ceremony as Katie showed off her dazzling diamond ring.

She told The Sun that the pair’s love story was “esoteric”, explaining that before even meeting in person, the duo had a strong connection.
She added: “That evolved deeper as we connected further within days [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other.” She added that they let “fate” decide that they were right for each other.
But our source maintains that any new relationship where Katie is concerned will not last long.
“It will last three seconds. Her family are concerned she will throw herself deep into another relationship and put the pressure on again to get married, like she has with JJ. You can’t force someone to get married, you can’t force someone to love you.”
The star, who was known by the pseudonym Jordan during her glamour modelling days, said “manifesting does work” as she shared a photo of the Burj Al Arab hotel with a ring emoji.
Katie’s rollercoaster lovelife rivals anything seen on our favourite soaps. As well as her previous marriages, Katie has previously been engaged eight times. She was also engaged to Warren Furman, Scott Sullivan, Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson and Carl Woods, although they never walked down the aisle.

She hinted last week that she had met the “right person” on an Instagram story, with a quote that read,”They say falling in love takes time. But it’s not true. Falling in love only takes the right person – the one who knows exactly what you need, without having to ask.”
Katie then shared another post, about recognising your soulmate and the “divine” signs a person will notice when they meet the love of their life.
A separate quote read: “My mum always says when you meet the male version of yourself is when you meet the love of your life.”
Katie’s first marriage was to singer Peter Andre, who she fell for in the jungle in 2004. But after tying the knot in a lavish ceremony and going on to have children Princess and Junior, they divorced in 2009 after a series of irreconcilable spats.
And their ‘feud’ continues to this day, with Katie claiming Peter’s management wouldn’t let her be involved in her teenage daughter’s reality show The Princess Diaries, something they have strenuously denied.

Katie’s next marriage the year she split from Peter was to cage fighter Alex Reid, just five months after they met. After eloping to Las Vegas, the couple renewed their vows in the UK as part of their new reality TV show. But after just eighteen months they split up – their marriage officially ending in 2011.
Third husband Kieran Hyler was introduced to Katie by a mutual friend during a night out in 2012 – and by January 2013, the pair had flown to Barbados to tie the knot, going on to have two children together, Jett and Bunny.
They had a wobble when Katie discovered Kieran had been having an affair with her best friend, Jane Pouteney, but he was given another chance and they renewed their vows in the Maldives in 2016.
In August 2017, however, Katie revealed that they were divorcing after she had discovered Kieran cheating again – this time with their nanny in an affair that lasted more than a year.
The star’s latest nuptials come on the heels of recent health struggles, as Katie admitted that recent gaunt photos of herself had her as worried as friends and family – and she revealed she was having tests to get to the bottom of her dramatic weight loss.
