Susanna Reid shares concerns for Katie Price over husband Lee
Settling into the chat, Susanna said to Katie: “You just got married again, congratulations. But if you were a friend of mine and had got married to someone without really knowing them and without meeting your children, I would be worried about you. I would be worried that you married someone without actually knowing them.”
Katie replied: “Do you ever really know anyone? If you look at my past marriages, did I ever know they would be what they would be? Can you ever really know who anyone really is?”
She added: “For me, I’ve gone through so much, so many different relationships.” Katie then spoke about relationships that had been coercive and controlling, before continuing: “Two years ago I started having healthy relationships and I know signs of red flags, all of this, I’ve been there, done it.
“I am older, I can make my own decisions. There’s nothing to say you have to wait for anything. So I’ve met Lee, and it’s hard for anyone to understand,” she admitted.
‘I was there, we got engaged and it felt right’
Susanna then asked when she first met Lee. Katie said in January, days before they held their wedding ceremony. However, she said they actually only got legally married two weeks ago.
The model and mum of five then shared how “it just feels so right” with Lee.
“It’s so different to any other relationship and it works for me. Number one, he lives in Dubai. Every relationship I’ve had, I’ve met them, they’ve met the kids, moved in and they’re in my space. I want to have time for me so it works very well.
“When I’ve got the kids, I’ve got the kids. When I haven’t, then I go to see him. It just works well for me. I can do my work, got my own space.”
She added of her five children – Harvey, Junior, Princess, Jett and Bunny: “He hasn’t met the family or the kids, although they’ve been on Facetime, they’ve all seen him on Facetime. For me to introduce him to the kids… I won’t be introducing him yet as I want to get to know him myself.”
She then addressed the three reasons why she married Lee so quickly.
“The thing people can’t get their head around is I married him quick. I was there, we got engaged and it just felt right,” she said, setting out her reasons. “So why not get married?”
