Katie Price’s new mother-in-law, Trisha Andrews, has spoken out for the first time following her son Lee’s unexpected marriage to the former glamour model in a surprise Dubai ceremony. Trisha, a medium from Nottingham, expressed her shock at the swirling rumors regarding Lee’s past and reassured fans that she was aware of the wedding plans ahead of time.
Lee Andrews, an entrepreneur with connections to high-profile tycoon Elon Musk, married Katie shortly after connecting on Instagram, much to the surprise of Katie’s family, who were not informed about the sudden wedding. In her comments to the media, Trisha expressed her support for her son’s happiness and cleared up misconceptions about his past relationships. “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,” she stated, emphasizing her desire to protect him while keeping details private for now.
Regarding Katie, Trisha shared her perspective: “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 humorously commented on the dynamics of their family by quipping about having a famous daughter-in-law, adding, “but she’s got a famous mother-in-law!”
Katie, 47, recently announced her engagement to Lee just months after ending her previous relationship with JJ Slater. The couple, who met online, quickly became deeply connected, leading to matching tattoos and the decision to marry after just a few days of knowing each other. In her own words, Katie described their connection as “esoteric” and emphasized that their relationship blossomed through heartfelt conversations and shared experiences before they ever met in person.
Photos from their wedding showcase Katie in a striking white dress, adorned with intricate cut-outs, as she stood with Lee in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by rose petals. She shared her joy on social media, declaring them the “Happiest Mr and Mrs.”
This marks Katie’s fourth marriage; she had previously been married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler, as well as having a history of five failed engagements. With Lee as her fourth husband and her ninth engagement, Katie’s romantic journey has been widely publicized, and she has drawn parallels between her love story and that of Julia Roberts in the movie “Pretty Woman,” affectionately referring to Lee as her “real-life Richard Gere.”
Trisha’s encouragement for her son and new daughter-in-law highlights a supportive family dynamic amidst the scrutiny that often accompanies high-profile relationships. As Katie embarks on this new chapter of her life, the shared excitement and positive outlook from both her mother-in-law and fans offer a glimpse into the couple’s hopeful future together.
