katie price sparks pregnancy claim after Dubai wedding as friends voice concern — a look at her high‑profile exes
Katie Price has once again thrust her private life into the public eye with a social media post claiming she is 'having a baby' with new husband Lee Andrews. The announcement, made amid a heated online exchange with Lee’s former partner, has prompted worry from friends and renewed focus on a long history of high‑profile relationships.
What happened this week: the claim, the reaction and the timeline
In a lengthy, confrontational post aimed at Lee’s ex, Katie wrote that the couple are "soon to be three" and included a pregnant woman emoji. Lee has fuelled speculation by sharing images of a potential family home and marking one room for "kids, " and the pair are currently living in Dubai. The revelation followed a rapid sequence of events: Katie left her previous partner, JJ Slater, in January and married Lee shortly afterwards.
Friends and acquaintances have expressed alarm about the sudden developments. Some who know her well say she is desperate for another child and that she has already begun fertility treatment. Others maintain she is not currently pregnant but acknowledge she has been pursuing options such as IVF. Those close to her describe a sense of urgency surrounding the decision and say several family members are worried about how the situation is unfolding, given the demands of her existing children.
Timeline note: coverage of the story carried timestamps of 7: 16 PM ET on Feb. 18, 2026, with an update at 4: 44 AM ET on Feb. 19, 2026, reflecting the rapid development and follow‑up reaction.
Her past relationships and the public thread that followed
Katie Price’s love life has attracted attention for decades. Her first widely publicised relationship was with Gladiators star Warren Furman in the mid‑1990s; he even proposed in 1996 before they split two years later. The relationship drew early media attention and later public apologies from Furman for how things played out between them.
She moved on to a relationship with singer Dane Bowers in 1998. That two‑year romance ended amid jealousy and disputes over modelling work, with both parties later reflecting on how painful the split was. Following Bowers, Katie became involved with former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke. The couple were together for around 18 months, and Yorke is the father of her eldest son, Harvey. That paternity was initially disputed but was later confirmed through testing.
Subsequent high‑profile relationships included marriage to pop star Peter Andre, with whom she shares two children, Junior and Princess. In more recent years she had a relationship with reality figure JJ Slater before her speedy union with Lee Andrews. The new marriage and the claim of another baby therefore arrived against a backdrop of familiar patterns: fast moves, intense public scrutiny and regular shifts in personal circumstance.
Family concerns and the wider context
Those close to Katie say the welfare of her children remains the key concern. Her eldest, Harvey, was born with septo‑optic dysplasia and has complex needs associated with Prader‑Willi syndrome; he lives in a residential care setting. Friends note that having five children with varied needs makes any abrupt life change especially sensitive, and they are urging caution as the couple settle into life overseas.
At present the situation remains fluid. The headline claim of a new pregnancy has been met with a mix of excitement, scepticism and real concern from those who know her best. Whether the couple will confirm a pregnancy, progress with IVF plans, or step back from public declarations is a matter observers say will unfold in the coming days and weeks.
For now, the announcement has reopened conversation about Katie Price’s past relationships and the pattern of intense, fast‑moving personal decisions that have long defined her public life.
