Princess and Junior Andre paid heartfelt tributes to their mother, Katie Price, as she celebrated her 48th birthday on Friday, amidst ongoing drama surrounding her allegedly ‘kidnapped’ husband Lee Andrews.
The family appeared determined to focus on the milestone, putting aside the turmoil as Katie rang in her special day, having recently called off the search for her missing husband to ‘avoid stress.’
Junior shared a smiling photo with his mother and sister, captioning it simply: ‘Happy birthday mother.’
Princess posted the same image in black and white on her Instagram Story, adding: ‘Happy birthday mum I love you.’
Katie herself seemed to embrace self-reflection on her birthday. On her own social media page, she posted a video of her son Harvey, soon to turn 24, playing Happy Birthday on a piano app, followed by a cascade of tributes from friends wishing her joy on her day.
Amid the celebrations, Katie also shared an inspirational quote: ‘You can’t break a woman who has survived family issues, financial struggles, career pressure, stress, heartbreak and betrayal, yet still chose not to give up… A woman like that does not fall easily. She rebuilds herself again and again, no matter how many times life tries to shake her.’
The quote appeared to allude to the drama surrounding her husband, who disappeared last Wednesday in an alleged kidnapping. However, Katie announced Thursday that she would no longer be searching for him to protect her own wellbeing.
The mystery surrounding Lee’s absence intensified after he appeared active on social media in a bizarre twist, following a mysterious woman on Instagram.
The ‘billionaire’ businessman, 43, had been reported as ‘missing’ for several days, with Katie initially fearing he had been kidnapped after he ‘went dark’ last week. Yet the glamour model is reportedly ‘disgusted’ that he has followed another woman online without contacting her on her birthday.
Lee’s Instagram now shows him following two accounts, after previously only following Katie. The new account belongs to self-described ‘biker babe’ Mari Sol, who appears to be based in New York. Mari’s profile highlights her background as a ‘navy veteran’ and member of the Rubicon Disaster Response Team, a veteran-led organization aiding disaster and humanitarian efforts.
A source told The Sun: ‘Katie is disgusted and appalled. Today is her birthday yet she’s heard nothing from her husband but seeing him follow another woman online is just outrageous.’
Katie had previously given up her search for Lee, only pausing briefly to answer a police call. During her podcast, she explained she won’t allow Lee’s disappearance to ‘ruin her life,’ following reports she was ‘ghosted’ by him.
The mother of five had initially sought help from her followers to locate her husband but now says she is stepping back ‘for her own sanity.’ Katie feared he had been abducted after a series of confusing messages in which he claimed to have been cuffed and placed in a van before ‘going dark.’
On the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, she confirmed she is now leaving the matter in the hands of the police.
