Hype Around Katie Price’s Pregnancy: New Swimsuit Photo, Family Concerns, and a Suspected Fake Comment
The media personality's world is once again in turmoil after she and new husband stunned fans with a bombshell pregnancy announcement — yet whispers of doubt, scandal, and worry are already threatening to overshadow her supposed fairytale.
Reality TV's most notorious headline-maker, Katie Price, recently stepped out in a revealing orange bikini, arm-in-arm with her new husband Lee Andrews — but fans are still reeling from the stunning news she and the Dubai-based businessman are expecting their first child together.

The glamorous couple sent shockwaves through social media on Friday, 20 February, when Andrews uploaded intimate snaps of the pair nestled together in a narrow, stone-arched corridor.
Shirtless and smirking in dark swim shorts, Andrews clung to Price — who smoldered in a barely-there bikini, her dark locks tumbling down her back. He later posted another shot from the outing, simply captioned, "Katie Price."

But the fashion parade quickly took a scandalous turn. The pictures came on the heels of a very public spat: Price had lashed out at Andrews' ex Alana Percival, ordering her to stop "embarrassing" herself over claims Andrews was a "liar and a narcissist."
In a ruthless swipe, Price dropped her pregnancy bombshell — lighting a fuse that would see the internet explode.

Her statement read:
"I know the truth and you're now embarrassing yourself, go and have the little respect for yourself that's left. I know all about you and who you are. At least I'm the real woman he has found and deserves, but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I'm having his child."
While fans reeled, those closest to Price were gripped by fear. Although her sister Sophie appeared to make her disapproval known on Wednesday night, the rest of her family remained conspicuously silent.
But sources have revealed the emotional reality behind the glitzy facade: Price's loved ones are gravely concened.

A source told The Mirror, "Katie has longed for a baby because for her, it means commitment — it's way of having a special bond with this guy that no one else will have. But the family are concerned about her wellbeing. Being pregnant can take its toll."
Anxiety continues to mount behind the scenes. Price's family fret about the sky-high costs of having a baby in Dubai — not to mention where she'll live, and how she'll afford the lavish lifestyle.

Most worrying of all, they point out Price has barely known Andrews. The entire situation, they say, "may be somewhat irresponsible." Ultimately, they want her happy, but can't ignore the risks.
Even her inner circle is deeply alarmed. Friends told The Sun, "This is the worst thing she could do."

Price's pregnancy announcement blindsided the public, especially given her widely-documented struggles to conceive. Over the years, the 47-year-old mother-of-five has lived out her fertility heartbreak under the spotlight — sharing her pain and dashed hopes with millions.

But as the world reacts to her dramatic new chapter, even those closest to her are questioning whether she really wrote the statement announcing her pregnancy herself.
One insider said, "That post doesn't appear to have been written by Katie. She often makes spelling errors and this is word-perfect. She also doesn't know how to use Instagram Stories so we think Lee has done this."

The source added, "The idea that Katie is thinking of having a baby with Lee is worrying. No one knows who he really is and there've been women coming out telling her to leave him. It's incredibly worrying, especially as Katie is so far away in Dubai and contact with her is sketchy and sporadic."

Alana Percival, Andrews' ex, urged Price just last month to "run for the hills". Meanwhile, another former flame, Crystal Janke, accused Andrews of pocketing a staggering £123,000 investment and failing to pay her back — claims Andrews denies.
But a baby with Andrews may be just one part of Price's problems. While Dubai promises sunshine and financial perks — a tempting escape after Price's UK bankruptcies in 2019 and 2024 — it brings daunting new rules and steep costs.
Columnist Lynn Carratt spelled out the dangers for The Mirror, "When you add private healthcare, childcare, and the city's luxury living costs, moving to Dubai isn't just a simple lifestyle upgrade, it's a financial juggling act."

Carratt added, "There's more to navigating Dubai than money. Modesty rules are enforced: shoulders covered, skirts below the knee, no cleavage."
She even recounted being handed a red card at a Dubai mall for daring to show her shoulders. For celebrities like Katie, discretion isn't just wise — "it's mandatory."

Behind the filtered Instagram glow, the newlyweds' real-life honeymoon was soon overshadowed by fresh controversy. Last week, a supposed celebration in the Dubai sun with friends Kerry Katona and her boyfriend Paolo Margaglione erupted into violence.
Witnesses claim Andrews flew into a rage during an argument with Price, prompting Paolo to intervene. An onlooker described the chaos, "Lee was having some cross words with Katie. He was acting in what appeared to be an aggressive manner."
When Paolo stepped in, "Lee seemed to be very angry and was shouting at him. It all got very heated and Lee threw some punches and one of them landed Paolo square on the head."
The shocking scuffle unfolded in a public hotel area. After the punch, Paolo was left in disbelief. Price and Andrews slipped away soon after. An onlooker described the scene as unfolding at a startling pace, with tensions running high before the confrontation suddenly spiraled.
They said it all happened within moments — Paolo appeared visibly shaken as he walked away, and Katie also seemed stunned by the turn of events. The fallout was immediate: The Sun reports a growing rift between Price and long-time pal Katona.
