AceShowbiz - Katie Price has confirmed that her marriage to Lee Andrews has come to an end after nine months, Daily Mail reports. The split follows a turbulent period marked by Andrews’ ongoing legal troubles and incarceration in Dubai, where he faced a travel ban tied to criminal investigations.

Itv also reported that Katie Price publicly responded to a voice note sent by Andrews from jail, where he denied claims about his supposed cryptocurrency fortune and reaffirmed his love for her. Metro detailed that Andrews had told Katie he owned millions in cryptocurrency, including showing her a digital wallet he claimed held $50 million. However, when she checked, the wallet contained roughly £2.22. Andrews disputed this in his message, saying she had looked at the incorrect wallet and offered to prove his assets, even suggesting a lie detector test. Metro added that Andrews had spent about four weeks in Dubai’s Al Awir prison over outstanding debts, including a £54,000 claim from a rental car company and nearly £15,000 in unpaid legal fees. He was arrested again on July 11 for attempting to raise £120,000 he owed.

Per Metro, Katie Price expressed feelings of betrayal and embarrassment, explaining that although she still loves Andrews, she no longer trusts him due to contradictions between his statements and reality. She revealed that Andrews repeatedly assured her of an imminent jail release for about two months, which never materialized. Additionally, she discovered a ring he claimed was worth £72,000 actually contained lab-grown diamonds valued near £5,000 when she tried to insure it.

Katie Price is a British model and actress well known for her high-profile personal life and multiple marriages, including to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. She married Lee Andrews in January after only one week of knowing him, shortly after announcing a split from her previous long-term partner, JJ Slater. Standard noted that she described the relationship as exhausting and said ending the marriage was very sad but necessary, adding she felt positive about being on her own after the breakup.

This confirmation of the marriage ending comes amid continuing legal and financial complications for Andrews, with Katie Price distancing herself from his claims of wealth and clarifying she was never interested in his alleged fortune. The situation highlights the difficulties she faced during their brief and troubled union.
