Katie Price's family may not be as heartbroken as her if her marriage with Lee Andrews happens to have run its course.
Price's sudden marriage to businessman Andrews has descended into a chaotic tabloid spectacle following a whirlwind wedding and amysterious disappearance in Dubai. After a remarkably brief courtship, the couple married and the abrupt nuptials provoked immediate shock and skepticism from Price's children and the public.
The drama escalated dramatically this week after Price revealed she received a FaceTime video call from her new husband. In the video, Andrews appeared tied up and hooded, claiming he had been captured or arrested.
Following the bizarre video call, Andrews vanished. The incident prompted instant public concern and police involvement. Widespread speculation began to grow regarding the true nature and authenticity of the relationship.
Price turned to social media to voice her fears, suggesting her husband had been kidnapped. Shortly afterwards, Andrews was officially registered as a missing person.
However, the reality star's family do not share her distress. Sources close to the family reveal they are not worried about his welfare. If anything, reports suggest they are pleased by the development.
A source toldThe Sunstated: 'Katie's family are absolutely thrilled Lee has disappeared without a trace and hopes it stays that way.'
'They are especially relieved that he never made it to the UK to meet her children or embed himself into her home and life. They are counting their lucky stars and all their dreams have come true.'
The unnamed insiders further reported that members of the Price's family had previously attempted to warn her about her partner's background but to no avail. According to the sources, the reality TV star 'wouldn't be told', hence, had to realise what her family kept reminding her about the hard way.
There has been a notion that Price's family suspects Andrews could continue to profit from her celebrity status until the separation is legally finalised.
