Peter Andre has opened up about his adapted parenting methods following the birth of his fifth child, Arabella, and spoke about his commitment to avoiding past mistakes with his older children.
Andre and his wife Emily are parents to Amelia, Theo and baby Arabella. He shares Junior, 19, and Princess, 16, with ex-wife Katie Price, whom he divorced in 2009.
In a recent interview with Heat MagazineAndre candidly shared his thoughts on Emily’s strict parenting guidelines and how they have influenced his approach.
She acknowledged that she regrets missing certain moments with her older children and expressed her determination to prioritize quality time with Arabella from her earliest days.
“I’ve always bonded with all of my children, but with Arabella I made sure to spend quality time with her from the day she was born,” Andre explained, stressing his commitment to forging a strong connection with his youngest daughter.
His reflections on past experiences highlight a desire to learn and grow as a parent, striving to create meaningful bonds with each of his children at their various ages and stages of life.
Reflecting on Emily’s parenting approach, which includes banning phones during meals to foster family bonding, Andre praised the decision as beneficial to their collective connection.
“It’s a real bonding opportunity for us. Emily is pretty strict about it, but she’s right – we were both raised this way,” Andre explained, acknowledging the positive impact of their structured family time.
He also spoke about the arrival of Arabella, hinting that she could be the latest addition to the family, although leaving room for possibilities in the future.
