Katie Price’s ex-husband suggests her latest marriage could be nothing more than a calculated move, as he opens up about what his time with the star felt like. The former glamour model, 47, tied the knot for the fourth time last month in a whirlwind ceremony.
Alex Reid, who was married to Katie from 2010 to 2012, says certain elements of their relationship never quite added up for him. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, he admitted feeling “drunk on celebrity” during his period with Katie, a sensation he believes the new husband may be feeling too, given the rapid pace of the marriage.
“I can imagine Lee Andrews is intoxicated by the spotlight,” Alex commented. “The difference is he’s a bit older than I was.” He questioned whether the wealth and business success attributed to Lee are real, noting that there are many stories floating around about him. If those claims about his business savvy are true, Alex conceded, then Lee would have to be operating with a level-headed approach despite the surrounding hype.
Yet Alex urged people to scrutinize the timing of the marriage. Even though he acknowledges that whirlwind marriages aren’t exclusive to him—“my own happened in six months”—he warned that tying the knot so quickly after meeting could be reckless. He offered a provocative alternative reading: perhaps the union is a strategic business transaction, and if that’s the case, both parties may be entering it with eyes wide open.
Alex added that Lee might think he can steer the media narrative, and that there’s a broader challenge in managing perceptions around Katie Price.
Meanwhile, Katie addressed the public with a pointed Valentine’s message, calling out the “snakes” around her and praising Lee for giving her security and respect. She shared a clip from Lee’s post featuring her with a dog on her Instagram Stories, suggesting that what critics have said about him is unfounded and that she stands firmly behind her partner.
As discussions about Lee’s past continue to surface, the story remains a focal point for fans and commentators alike. What do you think—are marriages like this genuine unions, or do they inevitably blend romance with business considerations? Share your thoughts in the comments.
