Katie Price's new mother-in-law has publicly addressed the surprising news of her son's rapid marriage to the television personality, breaking her silence on the whirlwind union that has captivated public attention. Trisha Andrews, a clairvoyant based in Nottingham, confirmed she was aware of the wedding plans and expressed dismay over misinformation circulating about her son, multimillionaire businessman Lee Andrews.
Mother-in-Law Defends Son Amidst Rumours
In an exclusive statement to the Mirror, Trisha Andrews revealed her emotional response to the situation, stating she is deeply upset by the falsehoods being spread. She clarified that contrary to some reports, Lee has not been married twice previously, emphasising her desire to defend her son while acknowledging the need for caution until all facts are clear. "There's a lot of lies going around about Lee and that's made me really upset," she said. "I just want to defend my son, but I can't say much more until I know everything."
Support for the Union Despite Surprise
Trisha confirmed that her son informed her about the wedding beforehand, and she has adopted a supportive stance, prioritising his happiness above all else. "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," she explained. Regarding Katie Price, Trisha maintained a neutral perspective, advocating for fairness and non-judgment. "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," she remarked, adding with a touch of humour, "You can ask what it's like to have a famous daughter-in-law, but she's got a famous mother-in-law!"
Details of the Whirlwind Romance and Wedding
The marriage marks Katie Price's fourth trip down the aisle, following previous unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. The 47-year-old former glamour model announced her engagement to Lee Andrews earlier this week, merely months after her split from former partner JJ Slater. On Sunday, January 25, she confirmed they had married just days after flying to Dubai to meet him for the first time, describing the ceremony as a "wedding at First Sight."
How They Met and Connected
Katie detailed the unconventional beginning of their relationship in an interview with The Sun, explaining they connected through social media before ever meeting in person. "How I met Lee was esoteric; we connected [by] both checking each others' socials and quickly realised: 'Wow, this is for me'," she said. Their bond deepened rapidly through written communication, leading to matching tattoos and reciprocal ring purchases. "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," Katie elaborated. She attributed their union to fate and destiny, stating, "All this without even meeting, we let fate, but you could say destiny, decide."
Celebration and Public Reaction
Photographs from the wedding day show Katie wearing a long white dress with daring cut-outs, exchanging vows with Lee in an outdoor setting adorned with rose petals. She later confirmed the marriage on Instagram with the caption "Happiest Mr and Mrs," and celebrated with Champagne, strawberries, and chocolate cake. In a romantic comparison, Katie likened her story to the film Pretty Woman, calling Lee her "real life Richard Gere."
Historical Context of Katie's Relationships
This marriage represents Katie Price's fourth husband, though she has been engaged to a total of nine men, including previous betrothals to Warren Furman, Scott Sullivan, Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson, and Carl Woods that did not lead to weddings. She is also a mother to five children: Junior and Princess with Peter Andre, Bunny and Jett with Kieran Hayler, and eldest son Harvey from a prior relationship. The swift nature of this latest union has left fans, friends, and family members astonished, adding another dramatic chapter to Katie's well-documented personal life.
