Katie Price 'dumps husband Lee Andrews by text' after discovering amount he had in bank account
Katie Price has reportedly dumped her husband Lee Andrews after telling friends he only had £2.22 in his crypto wallet.
The reality star, 48, has said to have ended her eight-month marriage, which took place only 48 hours after their sudden engagement in January.
A source told The Sun that ‘the marriage is done’ and that ‘she will never go to Dubai to see Lee again’.
“It was, of course, an accumulation of many things but the final straw came after Lee had told Katie he had $50million (£37 million) in a crypto wallet, and promised her some of the funds,” the source claimed.

“He gave her the ‘recovery phrase’ — the passkey — to get into his account, and on Monday she had a financial expert access the wallet — and, to her shock, discovered it contained just $3, or £2.22.”
According to the outlet, Katie dumped Lee via WhatsApp, telling him: “I have been played and you are not who you say you are. Why have you lied to me?”
The mum-of-five has reportedly been in touch with a divorce lawyer from London about ending the marriage.
“Naturally Katie is worried Lee might try to get her money, or take half her earnings over the next 12 months,” the source added.
“She does not want to be his next con, and is hoping they can split amicably. It seems unlikely they will stay in touch.
“She has all the receipts — the screenshots, voice notes and the AI fakery. It’s little secret that she wants to make a documentary, Tinder Swindler-style, so that is now the plan.
“Hopefully some good can come out of all this — in what has been yet another turbulent year in the life of Katie Price.”
Who is Lee Andrews?
Lee, a 43-year-old businessman originally from Nottinghamshire, claimed to be a multi-millionaire and lived in Dubai for over 21 years.
But photos on his social media featuring the likes of Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian appeared to be AI-generated.
The businessman was said to be the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an ‘investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness.’
However, drama escalated in May 2026, when Lee vanished entirely, sparking a two-week international missing person hunt.
He was eventually located alive inside Dubai's Al Awir Central Prison. And while Lee claimed to Katie that he was pulled out of his car at gunpoint and detained for ‘espionage’ by the National Guard, officials indicated he was locked up over a private civil matter involving unpaid debts and fraud.
