In a candid and heartfelt revelation, Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre has confessed to the profound sadness he is experiencing since his two eldest children moved out of the family home. The 51-year-old star described the pain of facing an 'empty nest' for the first time.
Andre shares his children, 18-year-old Junior and 16-year-old Princess, with his ex-wife, glamour model Katie Price. He is also a father to Amelia, 10, and Theo, 7, with his current wife, NHS doctor Emily MacDonagh.
The Bittersweet Reality of Parenting
Speaking on his podcast, The Peter Andre Podcast, the star didn't hold back his emotions. "I'm not going to lie, I've been really sad about it," he admitted, detailing how the house has felt a lot quieter since his older children left.
Despite his personal heartache, Andre is immensely proud of his children and supports their journey into independence. He emphasised that his sadness is a personal feeling and not a reflection on their actions, stating, "I'm so proud of them... it's just me dealing with it."
A New Chapter for Junior and Princess
His son, Junior, has moved into his own apartment, a significant step into adulthood that his father fully supports. Meanwhile, his daughter Princess is believed to be living with her mother, Katie Price. Andre acknowledged that this transition is a natural part of life, but that doesn't make it any easier for a doting father.
The celebrity dad's honest account has resonated with parents everywhere, highlighting the universal challenge of letting go as children grow up and forge their own paths.
