Katie Price has reportedly decided to end her eight-month marriage to Lee Andrews, who has described himself as a multi-millionaire, after a financial expert allegedly found just £2.22 in a cryptocurrency wallet he claimed contained £37 million.
The 48-year-old TV personality is understood to have confronted Andrews in a WhatsApp exchange after the account was accessed using a recovery phrase he had provided. She has since consulted a London divorce lawyer about ending the marriage, according to reports. The couple married in Dubai in January, with their marriage later legally registered in Abu Dhabi.
The reported split follows warnings from Andrews' former partners and a separate allegation from Texas nurse Crystal Janke, who claims she transferred £123,000 to him in four instalments after he promised a return of almost £1 million from an investment. Andrews denies wrongdoing and disputes the accounts.
The £37 Million Crypto Claim
According to The Sun, the reported breakdown followed Andrews' claim that he held $50 million, approximately £37 million, in a cryptocurrency wallet and would share some of the funds with Price.
The newspaper reported that Andrews gave Price the wallet's recovery phrase, allowing a financial expert to inspect the account. The expert allegedly found just $3, equivalent to around £2.22.

A source quoted by The Sun claimed the wallet's highest balance was $14,490, or about £10,720, in March, before the money was transferred out that same day. The figures have not been independently verified.
Price is reported to have told Andrews in their WhatsApp exchange that she had been 'played' and questioned why he had lied to her.
Ex-Partner Alleges £123,000 Loss
Janke, a former partner from Texas, alleges that she transferred £123,000 to Andrews between August and September last year after he said the investment could generate a return of almost £1 million.
The Daily Mail reported that Janke later became suspicious, contacted her bank and reported the matter to police. She also said she hired a private investigator before ending the relationship and has since warned Price against giving Andrews money.
Another former partner, Alana Percival, has also accused Andrews of manipulative behaviour and claimed he made various representations about his health. Percival said several other former partners contacted her after she went public with her allegations.
The allegations made by the women have not been established in court.
Andrews Denies Wrongdoing
Andrews has rejected the claims. He acknowledged his relationship with Percival but disputed her account, saying he had provided her with a lavish lifestyle and invested in her real estate business.
He also acknowledged exchanging messages with Janke but denied meeting her or receiving investment funds from her. Andrews said he had no knowledge of money being sent to him and rejected her allegations.
Andrews is also reported to be detained again at Al Awir Central Prison in Dubai over private civil and financial disputes. He was previously detained at the same prison in May 2026 after going missing. He initially told Price that he had been held on suspicion of espionage. Dubai authorities reportedly said the matter was a private civil dispute.
Price has not publicly confirmed the reported divorce.
