Katie Price pays tribute to 'my real life Richard Gere' as she shares loved-up snaps with her new fiancé Lee Andrews after their engagement

Katie Price paid tribute to 'my real life Richard Gere' as she shared loved-up snaps with her new fiancé Lee Andrews on Sunday after their engagement.

The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans on Friday by revealing her engagement to Lee Andrews in Dubai.

The entrepreneur, originally from Manchester, has been based in Dubai for 21 years and has documented his flash lifestyle on his social media channels.

Sharing pictures from their swanky Dubai hotel while in dressing gowns she looked adoringly at Lee and penned: 'My real life Richard Gere.'

Lee then shared an image of them at dinner as she showed off her ring as he wrote: 'When nobody will never understand how this fairytale happened.'

A final snap saw them holding hands in bed as a bunch of red roses was visible in the background. 

Katie showed off her giant diamond ring on her social media on Friday - blindsiding her ex JJ Slater - a week after their split was revealed.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the mother-of-five shared a slew of snaps as she posed by a sea of red roses spelling out 'will you marry me?'

She also showed off her partner's hand, which had a fresh tattoo of her name inked on, and revealed the pair were celebrating with champagne, strawberries and chocolate cake.

Katie has previously been engaged eight times and has three ex husbands - Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.

Katie also claimed that her 'Richard gear swept off my feet', adding 'manifesting does work' as she shared a snap of the Burj Al Arab, with an emoji of a ring.

Lee is a twice-married man who claims to be a multimillionaire - and called his personal trainer ex-wife 'the perfect woman' just 18 months ago.

According to his Instagram profile, Lee is CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 as well as an 'Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness'.

But before Lee popped the question to Katie, making him her ninth fiancé, he was married for several years to Palestinian-born and Qatari raised health and fitness coach Dina Taji, 41, whom he met in the gym in Dubai at the start of 2020.

Lee, whose mother Trish is from a small mining town in Derbyshire, told pals online that her son was engaged and boasted about how he went all out to lure the beauty by winning over her family.

She said he had called Dina 'a beautiful human being' and 'she's my person I love her unconditionally'. 

Lee revealed that they fell in love when they were both with other partners, and said he admired the 'kindness' of Arabic culture and Islamic customs including fasting during Ramadan.

He also claimed he lived next door to a mosque and made plans to visit Mecca.

Less than 18 months ago he was gushing over his former second bride, sharing a series of photos of them together and telling his followers: 'Whether outside or in the office, who you share life and choose to partner with is sacred. Loving respect for this lady, Dina Taji.'

A friend replied: 'U 2 are simply beautiful. Wish you a beautiful journey through life and countless blessings.' 

Lee, whose Instagram page is littered with photographs of himself working out, claimed in a business forum he stayed in Dubai in a five bedroom villa, and made it his home because 'the culture grabbed me and I thought you know what there's some very beautiful Arabic ladies out here'.

Katie's announcement is said to have come as a 'massive shock', with relatives said to be 'worried' that things are moving too fast, particularly as they have yet to meet Lee. 

A source told The Sun: 'The family found out about the engagement on Instagram – they were stunned.

They added: 'Katie's family are so worried as it's all happening so fast. They were upset when she split with JJ and now they haven't even met this new man and she's engaged.' 

Daily Mail has contacted Katie's representatives for comment. 

It comes after sources told Daily Mail that the engagement news also came as a complete shock to her ex JJ, 32, who is currently in Miami with his family and has been 'healing his broken heart'. 

Last week, the Daily Mail revealed that Katie ended her romance with the MAFS UK star after realising she didn't see a future with him. 

Insiders say cracks in their relationship had become 'too obvious to ignore' in recent months, despite Katie insisting they were going strong. 

They began dating in February 2024, after JJ rose to fame on E4's MAFS UK. Katie even spoke of having a child together, her sixth, but in the end, it wasn't meant to be.

A source previously told the Daily Mail: 'Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade.

'Instead, her fears only grew, and she's now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.

'JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and moved back to his home in Essex.

'He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook.' 

The Daily Mail contacted Katie and JJ's representatives for comment at the time. 

Last Wednesday, Katie broke her silence on her split when she shared a cryptic post about meeting the 'right person'.

Sharing an update to her Instagram Story, she posted a series of poems and quotes about soulmates and relationships. 

The first, from Mike Poetry, read: 'They say falling in love takes time. But it's not true. Falling in love only takes the right person - the one who knows exactly what you need, without having to ask.'

Another post was about recognising your soulmate and the 'divine' signs a person will notice when they meet them.

Finally, Katie shared another quote which read: 'My mum always says when you meet the male version of yourself is when you meet the love of your life.'
