Peter Andre says wife Emily is ‘a lot stricter’ than him as a parent

2022-12-06

Peter Andre has discussed his parenting style and admitted that his wife Emily is “a lot stricter” than him.

Pete shares son Theo, six, and daughter, Amelia, eight, with NHS doctor Emily, while he is also dad to daughter Princess, 15, and son Junior, 17, from his marriage to Katie Price.

The Mysterious Girl singer’s comments came as he opened up about the technology rules for the kids in their household.

Writing in his weekly column, Pete said: “Millie and Theo have this practical joke fake poo that they keep putting everywhere. It’s been in the bathroom and in my bed.

“I don’t know where they got it from but they think it’s so funny! I love that we’re in 2022 and the kids still love good old-fashioned fun.

“People complain about technology but I still think kids would always pick the more traditional things over it if we give them the chance.

“We’re also very strict with Millie and Theo when it comes to their iPads.”

The 49 year old continued: “They’re only allowed to go on them on a weekend morning and some car journeys, and we never let them have them in the week on school days.

“Emily is a lot stricter with Millie and Theo than I am, whereas I was stricter with Princess and Junior. I think as I’ve got older I’ve changed my ways and views.”

Elsewhere Pete discussed Theo’s love of Elf on the Shelf and celebrating Christmas early with Emily’s family.

He said: “The kids are so excited that Elf on the Shelf has started. We have two elves and one got left behind last year by accident and Theo found him.

“We didn’t want to take it away from him so we just said that the elves didn’t want to leave him so they sent one of their cousins to keep him company.

“I kid you not when I say he's been sleeping with the elf every night since last Christmas and he thinks the elf has been waiting for his cousins to come back. It’s the cutest thing ever.”

He continued: “Although our plans for Australia still aren’t concrete we are still planning to go. My parents haven’t seen Millie or Theo for three years, so it really will be incredible to see them reunited.

“At the weekend we had a lovely time celebrating Christmas early with some of Emily’s family in Somerset.

“As we don’t know where we’re going to be, we wanted to make sure we had Christmas with them, too.

Emily has four younger brothers, one of whom is also a doctor.
