Peter Andre’s friends have criticized Katie Price following her surprising engagement announcement. The 47-year-old mother-of-five shared the news of her ninth engagement on Instagram, revealing a lavish proposal from Lee Andrews in Dubai. However, Peter’s supporters, who stood by him during his tumultuous split from Katie in 2009, have raised concerns about the timing of her announcement.
According to sources, Katie’s engagement news coincided with the release of Peter’s new song, “Rock You Right,” leading to speculation that she was trying to divert attention from him, especially as they share two children together. Insiders suggested that Katie’s need for male attention and desire to stay in the spotlight may have influenced her decision to announce her engagement at that particular moment.
The ongoing feud between Peter and Katie escalated in recent years, with Peter vowing to speak out in 2025 after disagreements over their children’s upbringing. While Katie accused Peter and his team of excluding her from their daughter’s birthday celebration, Peter emphasized that their children had been staying with him and hinted at revealing more details in the future.
Meanwhile, Katie surprised fans and potentially Peter himself with a video announcing her engagement alongside her new partner, Lee. Following this revelation, Katie’s ex-boyfriend JJ Slater unfollowed her on Instagram, officially ending their relationship that had been confirmed as over less than ten days prior.
As the story develops, The Mirror has reached out to Katie’s representative for comments.
