Katie Price’s new fiancé is a twice-married man, Lee Williams, who claims to be a multimillionaire – and called his PT ex-wife ‘the perfect woman’ just 18 months ago

Katie Price has stunned fans once again — after announcing her engagement in Dubai to businessman Lee Williams, a twice-married man who has previously described his ex-wife as “the perfect woman”.

The former glamour model, 47, revealed on Friday that she is engaged for the ninth time, sharing lavish snaps of a whirlwind proposal that quickly set social media alight.

A Dubai-based lifestyle — and bold claims

But before Lee popped the question to Katie, making him her ninth fiancé, he was married for several years to Palestinian-born health and fitness coach Dina Taji, 41

Lee, originally from Manchester, has been based in Dubai for more than two decades and frequently showcases his jet-set lifestyle online.

The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans on Friday by revealing her engagement to Lee in Dubai

According to his Instagram biography, he is the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and also describes himself as an “Investor in Space X Hybrid Fitness.”

Before popping the question to Katie, however, Lee had already been married twice — most recently to Palestinian-born, Qatar-raised personal trainer Dina Taji, 41, whom he met in a Dubai gym at the start of 2020.

‘The perfect woman’

He met health and fitness coach Dina, 41, at the start of 2020, and revealed they fell in love when he they were both with other partners

Just 18 months ago, Lee was publicly gushing over Dina, sharing loved-up photos and describing her in glowing terms.

In one post, he wrote:
“Whether outside or in the office, who you share life and choose to partner with is sacred. Loving respect for this lady.”

Friends responded warmly, with one commenting: “You two are simply beautiful.”

Lee also described Dina as “a beautiful human being” and declared:
“She’s my person. I love her unconditionally.”

Falling in love — while both were with other partners

Katie showed off her giant diamond ring on her social media on Friday – blindsiding her ex JJ Slater – a week after their split was revealed

Lee later revealed that their romance began while both were in other relationships, saying they were forced to be “respectful” until circumstances allowed them to be together.

He spoke openly about his admiration for Arabic culture, saying it deeply influenced him — including fasting during Ramadan and even visiting Mecca.

He claimed he lived next door to a mosque and said the culture “grabbed” him, adding that he fell not just for his wife — but for her entire family.

“I didn’t just fall in love with my wife,” he said.
“I fell in love with the family package deal.”

‘The timing was flawless’

Lee described their eventual marriage as a matter of timing, insisting they brought out the best in each other and lived quietly, valuing simple moments over parties or fame.

“With Dina, I found the person I was meant to be with,” he said.
“Not just Thursday night — all of Friday.”

He also hinted that marriage had not always been easy, admitting it could sometimes feel “mundane” or “vanilla”, despite insisting there was no drama.

From ‘perfect woman’ to sudden new engagement

Despite those declarations, Lee is now engaged to Katie — a move that has raised eyebrows given the relatively short time between his previous public devotion and his latest proposal.

Katie announced the engagement just weeks after confirming her split from Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, blindsiding her ex as she proudly displayed a huge diamond ring on social media.

The proposal reportedly took place in Dubai, surrounded by red roses spelling out “Will you marry me?”, champagne, strawberries and chocolate cake.

Katie also shared a snap of Lee’s hand bearing a fresh tattoo of her name.

Katie’s engagement history

The mother-of-five has now been engaged nine times and previously married three times — to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.

Posting from the Burj Al Arab, Katie told fans:
“Manifesting does work,” adding that her “Richard Gere” had swept her off her feet.

What happens next?

As congratulations pour in, questions are already swirling around the speed of the romance, Lee’s past marriages, and the sharp contrast between past declarations of devotion and his new future with Katie.

For now, the couple are celebrating — but as ever with Katie Price, the story is far from over.
