Katie Price Husband Lee Andrews Denies Reusing Engagement Ring From Previous Marriage

Katie Price, the 47-year-old former glamour model and reality TV icon, has once again transfixed the British public after tying the knot for a fourth time in a whirlwind Dubai ceremony.

The wedding to Lee Andrews, a 41-year-old CEO of Åura Group and tech investor, took place on Sunday, 25 January 2026, less than ten days after the pair first connected on social media. However, the 'fairytale' nuptials have been eclipsed by a burgeoning 'ring-gate' scandal.

Within hours of the couple's whirlwind ceremony at the Burj Al Arab, social media users began circulating side-by-side images of the diamond ring Price proudly displayed, claiming it was identical to one Andrews allegedly used during a proposal to fitness influencer Alana Percival in September 2025. Andrews has firmly denied these 'recycling' accusations, insisting that while he has a signature preference for certain jewellery styles, the ring is a fresh purchase for his new bride.

The engagement and subsequent wedding took place on Saturday, 24 January 2026, following a whirlwind romance in which the pair had met in person just days prior. The controversy erupted on Instagram and TikTok shortly after images were shared from the luxury Dubai venue, amid reports that Price's family in the UK were 'blindsided' and 'horrified' by the news.

Price, who has now been engaged 9 times and married 4 times, described the union as 'manifesting at its finest,' seemingly unbothered by the digital noise. However, the 'ring-gate' scandal has intensified scrutiny of Andrews, who has been spotted on social media with Elon Musk and claims to have 'billion-dollar' government contracts. The businessman's previous relationship with Alana Percival reportedly ended in late 2025, and the discovery of near-identical proposal photos has led many to label the nuptials a 'performative stunt' designed for headlines to upstage her ex-husband Peter Andre's recent musical release.

A 'Signature' Style or Second-Hand Sparkle?

The core of the backlash rests on the visual evidence provided by eagle-eyed followers. Side-by-side comparisons of the rings show a massive, high-clarity diamond in a similar setting to the one worn by Andrews' previous partner.

While Andrews maintains that he simply has a 'consistent taste' in high-end jewellery, critics argue that the speed of the engagement, occurring mere days after the couple met in person, makes it unlikely that the couple would acquire a bespoke, new diamond.

The controversy has intensified as fans cross-reference the jewellery with pieces worn by his former wife, Palestinian-born health coach Dina Taji.

Critics have pointed to a history of 'carbon-copy' romantic gestures from Andrews, noting that he previously referred to Taji as his 'unconditional love' while presenting her with strikingly similar luxury items during their four-year marriage. Notably, Andrews' mother, Trisha, a clairvoyant from Nottingham, has defended her son, claiming 'lies are being spread' about his past and his intentions.

Despite the denial, the 'ex-factor' continues to loom over the marriage. Reports suggest that Percival herself was 'stunned' by the similarity of the proposal, which featured the same rose-petal arrangement and 'Will you marry me?' chocolate cake. For Price's inner circle, the reuse of a romantic blueprint is less concerning than the speed of the commitment, with family members reportedly 'dumbstruck' by the lack of prior introduction.

Destiny vs. Doubts

Price has defended her fourth husband, branding him her 'real-life Richard Gere' and claiming their connection is 'esoteric.' She explained to supporters that they had already secured matching 'Katie 11.11' tattoos on their hands and bought rings for one another before they had even met face-to-face. This 'soulmate' narrative is intended to silence those who believe the wedding is a reaction to her recent split from Married at First Sight star JJ Slater.

The singer's representatives have dismissed the ring controversy as 'bitter noise,' asserting that Lee Andrews is a successful entrepreneur who has no need to recycle gifts. However, as 2026 begins with another Pricey wedding, the public remains divided on whether this is a genuine fairytale or a well-documented case of history repeating itself in the luxury suites of Dubai.
