has doubled down on her insistence that husband is The One, insisting that he is 'not a con man or a scammer' and that she's 'the happiest I’ve ever been'.
The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans when she married the so-called businessman, 42, in in January within 10 days of meeting him.
And despite her family sharing their concerns, several of his ex-partner making bombshell accusations and a slew of his claims about his finances, business acumen and celebrity-links being revealed as false - Katie is certain that Lee is the real deal.
In a new interview, she revealed that she has so much trust in her new husband that she declined to sign a pre-nup before their whirlwind wedding.
Insisting that she's 'not stupid', she said Lee - who has claimed to be both a millionaire and billionaire previously - has shown her documents to attest to his wealth and has proof of purchase that he paid for his new £36million home in Dubai in cash.
While Katie said she's also done her due diligence by speaking to his father and his Russian ex-wife Cezara, and declares Lee 'ticks every box'.

Katie Price has doubled down on her insistence that husband Lee Andrews is The One, insisting that he is 'not a con man or a scammer' and that she's 'the happiest I’ve ever been'
Katie's sister Sophie has previously hinted at her disapproval of her new marriage and said their podcast would be ' paused' for the foreseeable future
The besotted mother-of-five gushed to The Sun: 'I thought I'd been in love before but this feels different. It's not even about lust, it's just instant connection on all levels. I fell in love with him long before I had sex with him.'
She said they first connected after Lee came up as a suggested follow on Instagram and she took the opportunity to slide into his DMs, with the pair going on to message back and forth up to five hours a day, before finally meeting in person in Dubai.
Yet her loved ones were said to have been blindsided by the whirlwind nuptials, and are reported to have expressed their concerns about the marriage and are 'anxious this is a potential scam'.
However, Katie dismissed her family's worries, insisting that she was not a kid and that 'my life isn't normal', so they had to 'let me be me'.

She acknowledged their feelings, saying: 'Of course my family are going to worry, I wouldn't expect anything different. They love me and they've seen me go through so much heartache, and the most horrific times.
'So I don't blame them for being p***ed off and angry. They love me and I love them too. But I'm not a kid any more, I am 47, I can make my own choices, and I will. They have to give me that chance to go and find out for myself.'
Katie's sister Sophie has previously hinted at her disapproval of her new marriage and said their podcast would be '' for the foreseeable future.
In January, she shared a video of rolling British fields with the caption: 'This and never stepping foot in Dubai,' after telling her followers she'd had 'one hell of a week' following news of the wedding.
While last month, she tellingly reposted a clip of physician Dr Gabor Maté discussing the various approaches that families can make in difficult times.
The video ends with the words: 'I'm not going to try and change you. I just hope you come to your senses at some point. But I'll be with you and I'll be supporting you.'
