Katie Price ends marriage after finding £2.22 in husband's crypto wallet

Published 2 September 2026

Katie Price has ended her eight-month marriage to Lee Andrews after discovering that a cryptocurrency wallet he claimed held millions contained only £2.22. The 48-year-old television personality reportedly informed Andrews of the separation via WhatsApp message, stating she had been "played" and that he was not who he claimed to be. The marriage, which began with a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai in January 2026, reached its breaking point on September 1, 2026. According to reports, Andrews had told Price he possessed a cryptocurrency fortune worth approximately £37 million and had provided her with the recovery phrase to access the wallet. Price then had a financial expert examine the account, which reportedly showed a balance of just £2.22. A source indicated this discovery was the final straw in a series of accumulating issues. Price is said to have told a friend, "I have come to my senses. Lee has lied and lied and lied. I am sick of it. It is over." She has reportedly consulted a divorce lawyer in London and has stated she will not return to Dubai to see Andrews, who remains in custody at Al Awir prison. The couple's relationship has been marked by controversy since its inception.
