During a discussion on Good Morning Britain about Christmas plans, presenter Kate Garraway mistakenly said Peter Andre would have a packed holiday season because he was a father of five. However, the ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer, who sat on the ITV morning show’s couch, quickly corrected her saying, “Technically six, but go on. Yeah, I’ve changed a lot of nappies in my time. Carry on, carry on.”
Alongside his wife Emily, Peter Andre shares three children; Arabella, eight months, Millie, age 10, and Theo, age 8. Additionally, he has two kids from his previous marriage to Katie Price – Junior, 19, and Princess, 17. Moreover, Andre has played an active role in the life of Katie Price’s eldest son, Harvey, now 22, whom he had planned to legally adopt before the end of his marriage to Katie.
In a recent interview with OK! magazine, when discussing the possibility of further expanding his family, Peter remarked, “I’ve changed six sets of nappies in my adult life, I’m done,” reports the Mirror.
He also shared that his children have a close bond with each other. “They’re all very close, but Bista [Princess] is super close with Millie and really helpful with the baby, while Junior has a lovely connection with Theo,” he said.
“Ems and I aren’t ‘party parents’ – we love being at home, cooking and hanging out with the kids. I’m more driven than ever with work, but I feel parent guilt like never before. Then I think, I’m doing this for their future as well, and I feel better again!” Regarding his previous close bond with Harvey, an unearthed clip shows the singer upset while discussing the adoption plans. He became emotional after being shown footage in 2010 of Harvey’s estranged dad Dwight Yorke slamming his plans to legally become a father to his son.
In the clip Dwight said: “I understand that he has to play a role, because that comes as part of the baggage when you get involved with Kate. But for him to say he was going to adopt my kid – and now look what’s happened four years down the road [Pete and Katie split]. Is he prepared to adopt Harvey at this stage? I don’t think so. The onus falls back on the father, which is me in the first place, so that’s why it should not have been mentioned.”
But in response Pete hit back to Kay Burley on Sky News: “No disrespect, but has he seen Harvey since this interview? The bottom line is this. I love that child alright, and I don’t care what anybody says, I love that child. I see that child.
“To me, a nice little thank you would be nice instead of telling me. I asked to adopt him because I love him. I didn’t ask to adopt him to be disrespectful. It angers me when people turn around and I get a comment like that.”
