Katie Price has taken another very public step away from estranged husband Lee Andrews, removing him from her Instagram bio as their whirlwind marriage heads towards divorce.
The former glamour model, 48, had previously made her relationship status impossible to miss, proudly tagging Lee alongside a wedding ring emoji at the top of her profile.
That reference has now disappeared, weeks after Price reportedly ended their eight-month marriage over WhatsApp.
While plenty of evidence of their relationship remains further down her Instagram grid, Lee has been scrubbed from the prominent spot in her bio as Price reportedly prepares for what could become a difficult financial split.
The most recent loved-up picture of the pair remains a July 2 post, shared during an increasingly bizarre period in which questions were mounting over Lee’s whereabouts.
At the time, Price was still publicly standing by her husband despite a string of extraordinary controversies surrounding him.
The pair married in Dubai in January following a whirlwind romance, but their honeymoon period was soon overtaken by reports about Lee’s legal troubles in the UAE.
He later disappeared from public view, with Price announcing in May that her husband had been ‘kidnapped’.
Lee subsequently claimed he had been arrested on suspicion of espionage, something Dubai authorities disputed.
It later emerged that he had been imprisoned in Dubai, with reports suggesting he was released from Al Awir prison around July 20.
However, Lee himself had effectively vanished from social media by that point, with his last known public activity coming on July 9.
Everything Lee Andrews has been accused of since marrying Katie Price
Misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner
When Katie introduced Lee as her new partner, he presented himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an investor in ‘SpaceX Hybrid Fitness’.
His social media, which boasted more than 100,000 followers, was filled with photos of luxury cars, lavish Dubai lifestyles and apparent encounters with celebrities including Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.
But the image quickly began to unravel. There appeared to be little evidence of his businesses operating as described, while several of the celebrity photos were later alleged to have been created using AI.
Being banned from leaving Dubai
After meeting and marrying her new husband in Dubai, it came time for Katie to fly home to the UK – however her husband was unable to join her.
This was due to the fact that he’d allegedly served time in Dubai’s Al Awir central prison for suspected fraud, for allegedly taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend’s name without her knowledge.
The UAW bans people facing criminal investigations from leaving the country, however Lee denied he was unable to return to the UK and said there must be some ‘wrong details’.
However, Katie later confirmed he was subjected to a ban, but didn’t clarify why.
Being jailed – and reportedly arrested again – in Dubai
Shortly after Katie returned to the UK, Lee remained in Dubai while dealing with financial issues.
Last month, it was reported he had spent four weeks in Dubai’s Al Awir prison over outstanding debts before being released.
On July 11, he was arrested again after allegedly attempting to raise around £120,000 he believed he owed.
According to The Sun, Lee sent a message to a friend saying: ‘They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.’
A spokesperson for Lahbab Police Station told the newspaper they had no record of Andrews being there, while Katie’s representative declined to comment.
Teasing a fake pregnancy
Just a few weeks into their relationship, both Katie and Lee teased they were expecting a baby. After Katie declared she was ‘having his child’ Lee wrote they were a ‘perfect couple soon to be triple’.
At one point, the mum of five even urged her followers to pay £2.99 to find out the results of a pregnancy test.
Despite the attempts to generate publicity, she then confirmed she was not pregnant.
Scamming a string of women
Days after Katie and Lee tied the knot, two of his exes accused him of being a ‘liar, narcissist and manipulator’.
Months later, it was then reported he’d been begging women for money weeks before he married Katie.
His ex Alana, then shared a post on Instagram calling him the ‘Tinder Swindler’ and claimed multiple women had contacted her saying he’d tried to scam them out of money too.
She later went on a podcast to share more details of her relationship with Lee, claiming ‘I genuinely thought that potentially he could have killed me.’
Faking a kidnapping
After Lee failed to return to the UK, Katie revealed she had concerns he’d been kidnapped and then reported him as a missing person.
He was later found to be in prison in Dubai. Following his release, he returned to social media with an extraordinary account of events, claiming he he had been ‘kidnapped at gunpoint’, ‘slapped around’ and falsely accused of espionage.
Dubai authorities have disputed suggestions he was detained over spying allegations, previously describing the matter as a private civil dispute.
Court documents later revealed two outstanding legal cases against Lee, including an alleged £54,000 debt linked to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15,000 in unpaid legal fees.
His absence only fuelled speculation about the state of the couple’s marriage, although Price continued to defend him publicly amid other allegations surrounding her husband. By August, however, there were signs that things had changed.
Price was pictured enjoying a trip to Ibiza without her wedding ring, although the ‘Owned by Lee’ tattoo she had inked on her arm during their romance remained visible.

That came amid reports she had sought advice from divorce lawyers, before their split was eventually revealed.
Now, attention could turn to what happens to Price’s finances when the pair formally end their short-lived marriage.
The reality star is said to be concerned that Lee could attempt to make a claim on her money after she spent years battling her own well-documented financial problems.
A source claimed Price has been working hard to rebuild her finances through OnlyFans and her various other projects and is determined not to find herself in difficulty again.
‘There is a real worry Lee is going to try and take half of what she’s worth,’ they told The Sun.
The source added that Price ‘does not want to be his next con’ and hopes the couple can ultimately separate amicably.
Price appeared determined to defend the marriage for months, even as questions surrounding Lee continued to pile up.
Removing him from her Instagram bio may be a relatively small change, but after spending much of 2026 so publicly tying herself to her husband, it is perhaps her clearest social media declaration yet that the Lee Andrews chapter is coming to an end.
