Katie Price was spotted at the airport on Friday as she prepared to fly to Dubai for her long-awaited honeymoon with new husband Lee Andrews — amid ongoing claims he is unable to leave the UAE.
The former glamour model, 47, raised eyebrows last month after revealing she had quietly tied the knot for the fourth time, marrying the self-styled businessman in a whirlwind romance that has since divided opinion.
Unfazed by family concerns surrounding the marriage, Katie treated herself to a lavish business-class flight with Emirates, checking in ahead of the long-haul journey to reunite with her husband in Dubai.
She was seen strolling through the airport carrying her signature pink luggage, cutting a casual figure in a grey tracksuit as she made her way through departures. Katie appeared solo during the airport run, later heading to the lounge after checking in two suitcases — prompting speculation that she may be staying abroad for some time.
Her trip comes shortly after she publicly called a truce with ex-husband Peter Andre, with the former couple announcing they had finally put their long-running feud behind them for the sake of their children.
Katie’s return to Dubai follows reports that Lee is unable to leave the country. The Daily Mail previously revealed that he allegedly spent three weeks in a UAE jail over claims he forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to take out a £200,000 loan in her name — accusations he denies.
Despite reports suggesting he is banned from leaving the country, Lee has insisted this is not the case. He previously claimed he planned to fly back to the UK last week, before later stating he had remained in Dubai to house-hunt for the couple.
As he waits for Katie to arrive, Lee took to Instagram to share a quote hinting at his devotion to his new wife.
“Me? Obsessed?? With my partner??? Absolutely. I love that soul,” the post read.
Behind the scenes, however, concerns remain.
Katie’s family are said to be worried about the relationship, with sources claiming she has chosen not to listen to their warnings.
One insider told The Sun:
“They do not want her going back to Dubai, but Katie has confirmed she is leaving today. She doesn’t want to be apart from Lee over Valentine’s Day and says they are planning their honeymoon. Her family have read reports about Lee and are extremely concerned about her welfare.”
Despite the scrutiny, Katie has reportedly insisted Lee is a good man and fully committed to their relationship.
Even before boarding her flight, she was seen documenting cosmetic procedures on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes clips from a clinic visit where she revealed she had recently undergone lip filler and a £2,000 liquid BBL.
“Hey everyone, I’ve just had my lips done and had a check-up on my bum,” she said in a video. “It’s healing really well. It’s not a BBL — it’s just filler.”
The honeymoon trip comes amid a series of bombshell allegations from Lee’s former partners, including claims his wealth has been exaggerated. One ex, Alana Percival, alleged he proposed to her in exactly the same way just weeks before proposing to Katie and urged the reality star to “run for the hills,” claiming to have proof of questionable behaviour.
Katie has fiercely defended her husband, reposting a defiant message to her 2.7 million followers that read:
“I promise, if you saw the way he treats me in private, you’d understand why I’m wildly addicted to him.”
In another post, she added:
“Sorry to anyone who thought they were next — he’s not going anywhere, that’s my husband.”
The trip also follows a significant moment in Katie’s personal life, as she and Peter Andre jointly announced they had finally resolved their long-running dispute, agreeing to move forward with “positivity and respect” after 16 years of public tension.
The former couple, who married in 2005 after meeting on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, share two children — Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 — and confirmed they are now focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for their family.
Whether Katie’s Dubai honeymoon marks a fresh fairytale chapter — or another controversial turn in her turbulent love life — remains to be seen.
