Peter Andre has admitted his “biggest fear” about his eldest children, Princess and Junior. The Mysterious Girl singer has been candid about his kids that he shares with ex-wife Katie Price as they carve out showbiz careers of their own.
His daughter, Princess, 18, entered the spotlight this summer thanks to landing her very own reality TV show. Junior, 20, is following in Peter’s footsteps and is focusing on her music career.
Peter recently gushed to the Mirror about how “proud” he is of Princess and Junior, yet he’s now admitted he did have one big fear. He has said the pair were very “easy teenagers” but he did worry about what Princess and Junior’s love life would look like.

The dad-of-five had revealed his relief at being able to bond with both his son’s girlfriend, Jasmine Orr, and his daughter’s previous boyfriend. He told BANG Showbiz: “Do you know what, I have to say, the biggest fear, I think for me, when they were growing up and people don’t know what teenagers are like.
“I found them easy teenagers, but the problem is – it’s not with those two – but the problem for parents, what I find is when they have a partner, you either like the partner or you push them away. Thankfully, I liked Princess’ boyfriend and thankfully, I love both of them, I loved Princess’ previous boyfriend when she had one – and Jasmine, we love her, thank God. They’re dream teenagers now.”
Peter also has Amelia, 11, nine-year-old Theo and 18-month-old Arabella with his wife Emily. However, he has admitted that having adult children makes him feel “old”.
He joked at the launch of Boots presents Glide at Battersea Power Station: “Yes, I am old, I’m 52, hello? You know what, I was on the ice rink and someone’s going, ‘Aren’t you a bit old for this?’ And I was like ‘Ha – I got this’ but inside I was shaking.”
Last month, Peter told The Mirror about the rule he has over his younger children entering the spotlight. When asked if he and Emily would bring their youngest to the Pride of Britain, Emily told us: “We have talked about that!”
Peter added: “Amelia asked today. She said, ‘will I be able to come with you?’ I said, maybe when you are 16.” Emily agreed as she explained: “She’s at secondary school now, I think maybe when she’s 16.”
Despite the pair laying down new ground rules for their young kids, Peter and Emily are both proud of what Princess and Junior have achieved already. Princess has secured two more series for her own show, which Peter is delighted about.
“I know she’s gonna smash it,” he told us. “The next series she’s going to smash it, you watch her go, she’s great.” Speaking of his daughter’s success, Peter added: “Oh, I’m so proud. You know, we’ve got a good team, obviously. Claire’s been with us, with me, for 30 years.
“There’s a good team around her, but for me it’s about them being humble, it’s about remembering where they’re coming from and that people are so lovely, you’ve got to give back, you can’t just take. And they are good people, they’re good kids.”
