Peter Andre has broken his silence with a heartfelt family photograph shared on Instagram, following a week of intense public conflict with his ex-wife Katie Price. The couple, who share two children—Junior and Princess—are currently engaged in a bitter dispute over Princess Andre’s newly launched reality TV series.
Katie, 47, recently accused Peter, 52, and his management team of sidelining her from decisions related to Princess’s career and even claimed she was excluded from celebrating her daughter’s 18th birthday. These claims come as Princess is embarking on her own path, choosing to distance herself amid escalating tensions between her parents.
In response, Peter issued a detailed statement on Instagram, breaking his long-standing silence: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.”

He clarified the circumstances regarding their children’s custody, stating that since 2018, Junior and Princess have been under his care due to safety concerns, a court order in 2019 legally formalizing this arrangement. He emphasized that this information was previously kept private to protect his children.
Peter also condemned ongoing false accusations, vowing they will be addressed legally: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.”
Katie’s spokesperson responded, sharing that she is “at peace” and has handed all matters over to her legal team. She denied any intention of engaging in a tit-for-tat conflict but asserted she will “no longer be gaslit and bullied as she once was.”
In an apparent effort to show unity and normalcy, Peter posted a touching image of himself with his wife Emily and their three children, captured walking hand-in-hand along a beach in Cyprus.
Peter and Katie’s relationship began in 2004 on the UK reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! They married in 2005 but divorced after four years. Since then, their co-parenting journey has been fraught with disagreements, particularly spotlighted by recent events surrounding their daughter Princess.
Princess’s new reality show prominently features her relationship with Peter, often leaving Katie feeling marginalized. On her podcast, Katie expressed deep hurt over being excluded from key moments and decisions in Princess’s life, describing the experience as “very, very upsetting” and revealing she was not invited to her daughter’s birthday party due to filming commitments.
This ongoing family drama highlights the complexities of modern co-parenting under the public eye, with both parents fiercely protecting their perspectives while navigating their children’s transition into adulthood.
