katie price sparks fresh controversy with 'pregnant' claim as past relationships resurface
Katie Price's latest public revelation — a social media post in which she said she is "having a baby" with husband Lee Andrews — has reignited scrutiny of the television personality's private life and long list of former partners. The claim, made in mid-February 2026, has prompted alarm among friends and debate online as details of her swift recent marriage and family plans have emerged.
How the announcement unfolded and immediate fallout
The comment that she and Andrews were "soon to be three, " accompanied by a pregnant-woman emoji, came amid an explosive online exchange directed at a former partner of Andrews. The couple, who married in a hastily arranged ceremony in Dubai after Price split from her previous partner earlier this year, have been living between the Middle East and the UK, sharing glimpses of their life together on social channels.
Further speculation followed when Andrews posted images of the couple's potential future home and ambiguously labeled one room "kids. " That detail, combined with Price's post, pushed fans and those close to her to question whether she is pregnant or pursuing assisted fertility treatment. Close contacts describe concern for her wellbeing, saying she appears determined to expand her family and that friends view the situation as worrying given the speed of recent decisions.
Price has previously attempted fertility treatment in the past with a different partner and has been open about wanting more children. Observers note that her public statements and the highly visible nature of her private life make it difficult to separate fact from speculation while the couple remain private about medical details.
A look back at a string of high-profile exes
The current wave of attention has also prompted renewed interest in Price's past relationships, which include a number of high-profile figures from the entertainment and sports worlds. Her first widely publicised romance was with a gameshow star in the 1990s; he proposed in 1996 and the pair separated two years later.
In 1998 she entered a public relationship with singer Dane Bowers, a romance that lasted around two years and ended amid disputes over her modelling choices. Not long after, she was linked with footballer Dwight Yorke; the relationship produced her eldest child, Harvey, after a difficult early period when paternity was contested and then established by DNA.
Another notable chapter was her marriage to pop star Peter Andre, with whom she has two children, Junior and Princess. More recently she was partnered with reality figure JJ Slater before the relationship ended in January; the swift turnabout to her new marriage to Andrews has added to the sense of upheaval among those close to her family.
Throughout these relationships Price's personal life has remained a constant subject of public attention, and each new development tends to trigger fresh media scrutiny and commentary from friends and family.
What to watch next
At present there has been no independent confirmation of a pregnancy. The most immediate signposts to watch are any confirmed medical updates from Price or Andrews, and how the couple respond to mounting questions about their plans. Meanwhile, friends of Price say they are focused on her wellbeing and on ensuring her children remain supported through the upheaval.
Whether the recent posts mark the start of a new chapter or another volatile episode in a long public story will depend on how Price and Andrews handle forthcoming weeks. For now, the combination of a rapid marriage, talk of future children and a litany of well-known former partners ensures the news cycle will stay focused on her for some time.
