Peter Andre has opened up about his sleeping arrangements with wife Emily MacDonagh, revealing he could not imagine them having separate bedrooms. The singer and TV personality made the confession in his column for OK! magazine, commenting on Little Mix star Perrie Edwards' admission that she and her son have never lived in the same house as her fiancé, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
While Peter said he supports whatever works for other couples, he admitted separate rooms are not for him. 'I'm a firm believer in people doing whatever works for them,' he wrote. 'If you watch period dramas like Downton Abbey, it was common for couples not to share a room. But I wouldn't want to not sleep in the same bed as my wife. For one, we watch our fave TV series in bed, so no separate rooms for us, LOL!'
Peter and Emily have been married for several years and share three children together. Emily is also stepmother to Peter's eldest children, Princess and Junior, from his previous marriage to Katie Price. Speaking previously on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Emily revealed that she and Peter did not share a bedroom for the first year of their relationship out of respect for his children.
'We didn't share a bedroom for the first year that we were together because, when the kids were there… he wanted to be respectful,' Emily said. 'I actually really admired that at the time, that he always would put them first in everything.' Emily also described feeling 'lucky' that she has been accepted into the family and sees her role more as a 'big sister' to Junior and Princess, careful not to overstep.
