Katie Price is reportedly 'beyond furious' after the identity of a mystery woman followed by her missing husband Lee Andrews was revealed. The former glamour model, 48, who married Lee in January, has been left in the dark after he allegedly vanished last week, claiming to be kidnapped. Now, he has brazenly followed another woman on Instagram, deepening the mystery.
The New Woman: Mari Sol
Lee, 43, previously followed only Katie on Instagram. Now, he follows two people, the second being Mari Sol, a US Navy veteran who describes herself as a 'travel and adventure seeker', 'special event planner', and 'HD biker babe'. Her profile is private, but her public Threads account features glamorous selfies, beach snaps, and cryptic quotes. One recent quote reads: '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.'
According to The Sun, Mari Sol previously used an online matchmaking service for millionaires. A source close to Katie said she is 'beyond furious' with how things are unfolding. '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 revealed.
Katie's Emotional Response
Despite her anger, Katie has maintained a public facade. On her birthday, she promoted 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.' She also shared a cover of Oleta Adams' 'Get Here', captioning it: '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.'
Fans have flooded Katie with support, having feared for her since she met Lee, who has been accused of lying on his CV and scamming ex-girlfriends. He denies all allegations, including reports of a three-month prison stint in Dubai for fraud. Ex-partners have urged Katie to 'run for the hills', calling Lee a 'narcissist' and 'swindler'.
The Disappearance and Investigation
Lee's whereabouts remain unknown. He was due to fly to the UK for a live TV interview but cited 'visa issues'. His last FaceTime call with Katie involved claims of being tied up in a van with people 'coming' for him, prompting a missing persons report in Dubai. It is now claimed he is hiding in a run-down villa in the UAE, using a burner phone. Interpol is reportedly involved due to an investigation by Herts police into claims from an ex-girlfriend.
Katie has denied any involvement in the disappearance as a 'publicity stunt'. She is liaising with Dubai authorities. Her friend warned the American biker babe to 'get out fast' if connected to Lee, saying: '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.'
