Inside Katie Price’s 9th Engagement — 7 Photos

She dumped one man and said "yes" to another — all in a week. See photos from the luxurious proposal below.

Katie Price has once again thrown the internet into chaos — this time with a jaw-dropping engagement that comes just one week after calling it quits with her previous partner, "Married at First Sight UK" star JJ Slater.

The 47-year-old reality icon revealed the news in a string of Instagram Stories on Friday, 23 January 2026, sending shockwaves through her fanbase with a series of glam photos from a lavish proposal in Dubai. But while some celebrated the romantic whirlwind, others were left utterly baffled — and not just by the timing.

In true Price fashion, the setting was nothing short of extravagant. Her mystery man, entrepreneur Lee Andrews, pulled out all the stops in their luxury hotel suite, laying out rose petals and candles spelling the words, "Will you marry me Katie?"

The romantic spread included a chocolate cake, strawberries, and a bottle of champagne chilling on ice. And of course, Price wasted no time showing off the dazzling diamond ring, snapping photos in a fluffy white bathrobe with a glass of bubbly in hand.

The ring? An eye-popping, square-cut diamond surrounded by a halo of smaller stones, all perched on a sleek pavé band. But fans weren't focused on the size or sparkle — instead, they zeroed in on something far more curious.

In the photos, Price is proudly flaunting her ring — but it's noticeably worn on her right index finger, not the traditional left ring finger. Cue the chaos.

"Why is your ring on the wrong finger?" one puzzled follower asked. "Isn't it on the wrong finger/hand?" another commented. "The ring is on the wrong fringer lol," someone else laughed, misspelling finger in their haste.

The commentary poured in across platforms, with users speculating everything from fashion choice to publicity stunt.

And it didn't end there. One particularly savage commenter mused, "I'm confused that she keeps calling him her real life Richard Gere — does this mean he was paying for her company originally??" — a not-so-subtle reference to "Pretty Woman," the 1990 film about a wealthy man who falls for an escort.

"I hope this is all a big joke, Katie," another fan added, echoing the growing concern among long-time followers of the embattled TV star.

The engagement comes hot on the heels of her very public breakup with Slater, whom she had been dating for nearly two years. According to sources, Slater was reportedly devastated by the split, though insiders revealed the relationship had been crumbling for some time.

But for fans familiar with Price's romantic history, the whirlwind pivot wasn't entirely surprising. After all, Andrews is the ninth man she's said "yes" to.

Her three ex-husbands — Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler — are household names in their own right, and between them, she shares four children: Junior, Princess, Jett, and Bunny.

Add to that a string of failed engagements to Warren Furman, Scott Sullivan, Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson, and Carl Woods, and it's clear that Price's love life has never been short of drama.

But who is her new lover? That's the million-pound question. Very little is known about the entrepreneur who's now sharing champagne and strawberries with Price in Dubai. He's stayed completely out of the spotlight — until now.

What fans do know is that he's already earned himself a comparison to Richard Gere — at least in Price's eyes. The newly engaged star referred to him as her real-life Richard Gere in one of her proposal captions, though the internet quickly pounced on the potentially loaded meaning behind the phrase.

For now, Price and Andrews appear to be basking in the glow of their whirlwind romance, celebrating in style in the UAE sun. But with speculation mounting and critics questioning the pace — and finger placement — of it all, only time will tell whether this ninth engagement will finally lead her down the aisle.
