Katie Price’s family is reportedly expressing concern over the former model’s recent engagement. They were surprised to learn about it online and worry that she might be rushing into things following her recent breakup with JJ Slater just a few weeks ago. Katie, who has been engaged nine times before, made the announcement on Instagram on January 23. She posted photos of a romantic hot tub setup in Dubai with rose petals forming the question, “Will you marry me? Katie.” She proudly displayed her large engagement ring and later revealed her fiancé to be Lee Andrews, a Dubai-based businessman.

The quick engagement has raised eyebrows as it comes shortly after Katie confirmed her split from JJ Slater. Her family is concerned about the speed of the new relationship. According to a source speaking to The Sun, Katie’s family was taken aback by the news as they had not yet met Lee. The sudden development has left them worried, especially considering the speculated breakup with JJ that was only officially acknowledged in January.

In a podcast earlier this month, Katie disclosed that her relationship with JJ had ended after over a year together. Despite the breakup, she commended JJ, stating that she couldn’t find fault with him. Addressing rumors of an ultimatum regarding marriage or children, Katie dismissed them as false, emphasizing that these were not her intentions with JJ.

Following the engagement, JJ unfollowed Katie on Instagram, suggesting a distancing from the situation. Reports indicate that he was caught off guard by Katie’s engagement and is currently in Miami with his family, trying to heal from the breakup.

Representatives for Katie were approached for comment on the situation.
