katie price 'pregnant' claim sparks alarm as friends say IVF underway and husband's past resurfaces
Katie Price has set off a fresh wave of concern after a social-media post in which she said she and husband Lee Andrews are "soon to be three". The 47-year-old's announcement — made during an explosive online rant — has been followed by reports that she has started IVF treatment, and renewed scrutiny of Andrews, who has been linked to claims about a past and self-styled billionaire status.
Instagram claim, IVF reports and family worries
In a lengthy Instagram message aimed at Lee Andrews' former partner, Katie Price wrote that she and Andrews were expecting, even using a pregnant-woman emoji to underline the claim. The post came just weeks after the couple's whirlwind wedding in Dubai and after Katie relocated to the Middle East to be with Andrews.
Those close to her say the pregnancy announcement is not straightforward. Friends have described Katie as desperate to have another child and say she has already begun IVF treatment — a step she has attempted before. The decision to pursue fertility treatment so soon after the marriage has alarmed family members who are worried about Katie's state of mind and the fact that several of her children remain in the UK while she spends time in Dubai.
Concerns also extend to Katie's mental and emotional wellbeing. Insiders describe her as "spiralling" and preoccupied with the idea of another baby, with sources noting the emotional strain of the rapid remarriage and the separation from some of her children. The news that she is pursuing IVF has added urgency to those concerns, given the practical and medical demands of such treatment.
Husband's online posts and contested background
Lee Andrews has contributed to the speculation. He shared images of a potential future home and apparently marked a room as "kids", a detail that intensified conversation about whether the couple are preparing for a child. Those posts, combined with Katie's public declaration, have amplified both excitement among supporters and alarm among friends.
At the same time, Andrews' background has come under scrutiny. He has described himself in bold terms — including claims of being a billionaire and a Cambridge University graduate — while past links to television work have also been highlighted. Critics have questioned elements of his account, and one former partner accused him of financial impropriety and of manipulating family finances. The resulting mix of grand claims and contested history has complicated the public response to Katie's announcement and her apparent leap into married life with Andrews.
High-profile past relationships and family context
Katie Price's romantic history is long and well-known, and that past has shaped current reactions. Among her former partners are pop singers and sports stars: early relationships included singers from the 1990s pop scene and later high-profile romances with a Manchester United footballer and a pop star who fathered two of her children. One former Manchester United player is the father of her eldest child, Harvey, who has complex medical needs, while another ex is the father of Princess and Junior.
Those family ties are central to the concern expressed by friends. Observers note that Katie's five children require consistent support, and some relatives and friends say they are worried she has left that network behind while pursuing a fresh start. The combination of a public pregnancy claim, reports of IVF, the couple's move to Dubai, and questions about Andrews' background has created a volatile mix that has left many close to Katie uneasy about what comes next.
For now, the couple's posts and Katie's public statements remain the primary signals of their intentions. But with medical treatment reportedly underway and doubts swirling about Andrews' past and finances, the situation is likely to remain a focal point for both supporters and critics watching Katie Price's next moves.
