Peter Andre has reached out to his former wife, Katie Price, questioning whether she is “genuinely happy” in her recent marriage to Lee Andrews. He expressed his curiosity and concern about her new relationship.
The 47-year-old ex-glamour model surprised her followers by tying the knot with Lee, a self-proclaimed businessman aged 42, in a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai this January, just 10 days after their initial meeting.
Their marriage has caught the attention of Peter Andre, who has recently ended a longstanding feud with Katie that lasted 16 years. He has now publicly shared his thoughts on her unexpected nuptials.
Peter and Katie’s own love story began in 2004 when they met as contestants on the third season of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” They quickly fell for each other and married the following year. During their time together, they welcomed two children, Junior, who is now 20, and Princess, now 18. However, their marriage ended abruptly in 2009 with a divorce.
In a conversation with The Sun, Peter was asked about his opinion on Katie’s latest marriage. He stated, “So my thing to Kate is, ‘Are you genuinely happy? And if you are, then that’s great.’”
‘Who am I to tell someone what they should or shouldn’t be doing? Or even giving an opinion about it? I want her to be happy.’

The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans when she married so-called businessman Lee, 42, in Dubai in January within 10 days of meeting him
Katie recently revealed that Lee has already met Peter as the former couple spoke for the first time in nine years.
Despite her family sharing their concerns about her marriage to Lee, several of his ex-partners making bombshell accusations and a slew of his claims about his finances, business acumen and celebrity-links being revealed as false – Katie is certain that he is the real deal.
She even took the step of introducing him to her former husband Peter, 53, with the two men speaking over FaceTime.
Katie told The Sun last month: ‘It was time. Ironically I was FaceTiming Princess the other day when she was with Pete, so she put me onto him. It was the first time in nine years I’ve seen him.
‘I was having dinner with Lee at the time and it was surreal – I was like “oh hello ex-husband, welcome to my new husband!”
‘They had a nice chat. I was like “what the f*** is going on here?!”‘
In the interview, Katie said she has only been in love three times in her life – Peter, her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers and now Lee.
She was also married to Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012 and Kieran Hayler from 2013 to 2021 who she did not name.
Katie and Peter’s surprise reunion comes after they followed each other on Instagram after confirming they’d finally called a truce on their bitter 16 year feud.
Katie is said to have stopped following Peter on the platform in 2021 after he reportedly called in a lawyer over claims she made in her memoir Harvey & Me.
She wrote that the Mysterious Girl hitmaker had no interest in keeping in touch with his former stepson Harvey, 23, following their split.

But eagle-eyed fans spotted last month that the pair followed each other on social media, a week after they shared a joint statement about ‘moving on positively’.
Friends claimed their children are the reason Katie and Peter resolved the acrimony that followed their divorce.
‘Pete’s team have been begging Katie to end this for good for months. As far back as November, they were calling Katie and her family to try to end the row.
‘She was resolute she wouldn’t make peace with him. It was the children who made her realise she needed to draw a line in the sand. Katie has done this for them’, a source told The Sun.
Katie and Peter revealed the acrimony that followed their divorce has been resolved.
The announcement marks their first interaction in 16 years, with the former couple insisting they now intend to ‘close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect’.
They added: ‘We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children.
‘We have reached a mutual agreement, both legally and personally confirming that neither of us will speak negatively about the other going forward.
‘This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability. We want to stand united for our children.
‘We are hoping this is a start of a positive relationship. We ask for understanding and support from both the media and the public as we move ahead.’
