Peter Andre has opened up about a touching yet heartbreaking moment with his youngest son, Theo, who recently asked a poignant question about his late grandfather.
The singer and TV personality shared the emotional exchange on social media, revealing how the family is still processing their loss. Theo, aged seven, turned to his dad and asked, "Why did Granddad have to die?"—a question that left Peter reflecting on how to explain such a profound loss to a child.
Peter, who lost his father Savvas in 2012 to kidney cancer, has often spoken about the impact of his dad's passing. He admitted that Theo's innocent query brought back waves of emotion, as the family continues to cherish memories of Savvas.
In his heartfelt post, Peter wrote, "Theo asked me why Granddad had to die. How do you explain that to a seven-year-old? It’s moments like these that remind me how much we still miss him."
The star, who is also a doting father to Princess, Junior, Amelia, and Millie, has always been open about the importance of family. His candid sharing resonated with fans, many of whom praised him for his honesty and vulnerability as a parent.
This isn’t the first time Peter has spoken about grief—he’s previously revealed how he keeps his father’s memory alive for his children through stories and photos. But Theo’s question serves as a reminder that loss can be especially confusing for little ones.
Fans flooded the comments with support, sharing their own experiences of helping children understand death. One follower wrote, "It’s never easy, but the love you show them through these conversations is everything."
