The mystery of Lee Andrews’ disappearance has deepened, as he’s now been linked to another woman with an interesting backstory – and seemingly doesn’t care who knows it.
Last week, the so-called millionaire businessman’s wife, Katie Price, was left in a state of panic after she lost all contact with him.
The former glamour model, 48, who married Lee, 43, in January after mere days of knowing him, says his phone location went off on Wednesday night, and her messages were no longer delivered.
What’s more, in their final FaceTime call, he claimed to be tied up in a van with people ‘coming’ for him, convincing Katie that he had been kidnapped and prompting his family to file a missing persons report in Dubai, where he has lived for 21 years.
Lee was, of course, due to fly to the UK to be with Katie and face a live TV interview, but alleged ‘visa issues’ prevented him from travelling yet again – shortly after, he vanished.
Now, though, his online activity has raised eyebrows as, despite continuing to ‘ghost’ his other half, he has brazenly followed another woman on Instagram.
Previously, Lee only followed one person – Katie. Now, he follows two people, the second being a US Navy veteran called Mari Sol.
Her Insta profile has 855 followers and is private, but in her bio, she describes herself as a ‘travel and adventure seeker’, ‘special event planner’, and ‘HD biker babe’.
And on her connected Threads account, which is public, she’s shared a string of glam selfies, beach snaps, and quotes, the most recent coming after Lee followed her and having a rather cryptic meaning.
‘Time decides who you meet in life, your heart decides who you want in your life, and your behaviour decides who stays in your life,’ it reads.
As reported by The Sun, Mari Sol previously used an online matchmaking service for millionaires.
A source also claims Katie is ‘beyond furious’ with how things are playing out, adding: ‘She was panic-stricken last week when Lee told her he was being kidnapped.
‘She thought it was genuine. Now it’s all unravelling.’
The insider further shared that ‘those close to her have warned it’s all an elaborate sham, but Katie genuinely loves Lee’.
‘She was so worried and does hold out some hope he is going to reappear.
‘Now she’s seen him following this woman; to say she was angry and confused is an understatement.’
Katie’s pal called it ‘disgusting’ to see him ‘chasing other women’ after telling Katie he had been ‘bundled into a van’ with his hands tied.
They also had a warning for the American biker babe, urging her to ‘get out fast’ if she is connected to Lee.
‘His MO is finding women on social media then befriending them.
‘It’s exactly what he did with Katie, and look how that ended up.’
Katie, who celebrated her birthday yesterday, may be raging internally after not hearing from Lee; however, to the world, she’s not showing it, as she’s kept up appearances online.
In true Pricey style, this has included promoting CBD gummies as part of a brand collaboration, writing: ‘As you can imagine the past few days have been a lot. We are still looking for answers. But I have to say a massive thank you to @Supreme CBD UK for helping me with my anxiety 💖
‘The oil and gummies have been a massive help to me during this time and I just want to say if there is anyone out there struggling with their stress or can’t sleep at night this is the answer 🥰’

She’s also briefly revived her singing career, sharing a slideshow of snaps last night with a cover of Get Here by Oleta Adams in the background.
‘Missing my husband so much it breaks my heart knowing he is still missing so I did this song quick as words mean so much to the situation 💔’, her caption read.
Fans have continued flooding Katie with support, having feared for her from the moment she met Lee, who has lied on his CV about several high-profile jobs and been accused of scamming ex-girlfriends out of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Lee has always denied this, plus reports that he served three months in a Dubai prison last year for alleged fraud.
Still, his past partners have implored Katie to ‘run for the hills’, branding Lee a ‘narcissist’ and a ‘swindler’.
In fact, what led to him now reportedly being wanted by Interpol was Herts police escalating an investigation involving claims from one of his exes.
It has been claimed that Lee is hiding out in a slightly run-down villa, still in the UAE, and using a burner phone to contact a few trusted friends.
But excluding his new Insta following, he has not surfaced.
Katie has been liaising with authorities in Dubai, having firmly denied any involvement in the disappearance as a ‘publicity stunt’, mortified that anyone would assume as such.
Everything Lee Andrews has been accused of since marrying Katie Price
Misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner
When Katie named Lee as her new partner, he was selling himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an ‘investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness.’
His profile, which had 111k followers, was littered with photos of the entrepreneur in the gym and enjoying the high life in Dubai – also appearing to rub shoulders with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.
However, it was all later exposed as a farce – with no information about his company on its website, and his snaps with celebrities appearing to also be AI-generated.
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.
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’.
Two 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.
‘Ghosting’ his wife
After Lee failed to return to the UK last week, Katie revealed she had concerns he’d been kidnapped and then reported him as a missing person.
However, it was then reported that Lee had actually ‘ghosted’ his wife and was ‘squatting in a slightly run-down villa’ in Dubai and using a burner phone.
The publication reported he was ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.
