Katie Price-Peter Andre's Kids Unaware of Split: Andre Reveals Children have been Protected from the News

With the media storm surrounding the end of Katie Price (aka Jordan) and Peter Andre’s fairytale marriage, there must be hardly a person left on the planet who is unaware of the split.


But in an exclusive interview with the News of the World today, Peter Andre revealed that the couple’s three children Harvey, 7 (whose biological father is Price’s ex partner footballer Dwight Yorke) Junior, 4, and Princess, 2 are blissfully unaware of their parents' parting.

Kids Protected from Katie and Peter Split

The 36-year-old Mysterious Girl singer, who met glamour girl Price on TV reality show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here in 2004, told the newspaper: “The kids don't actually know we've split up. When I leave them with Katie, I just say that Daddy has to go to work so I can buy them toys. And when Katie hands them over to me, I just tell them Mummy is working.”

Peter Andre Cries Himself to Sleep

The star, whose “doting dad” parenting style endeared him to viewers of the popular fly-on-the-wall TV Show, Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter, added that he realised the children would have to be told but felt he wanted to “protect” them for as long as possible.

Andre seems keen to protect his children’s innocence, likening the looming revelation to having to explain that there is no Santa Claus. The singer, whose upcoming new album was recorded during the couple’s stay in LA at the beginning of this year, said the knowledge that his children would learn of the split eventually caused him to cry himself to sleep at night.


Katie and Peter put their Children First


The children’s time has been split between both parents since Peter left the family home in Sussex on May 15th. Junior and Princess accompanied their mother on a beach holiday to their parents’ honeymoon spot in the Maldives and the children also joined their father at his family’s home on the island of Cyprus.

Price and Andre are currently working out access and custody details privately, but Peter is adamant that the children should be protected from their parents’ imminent divorce. 

He revealed that he has continued his bedtime tradition of telling them ‘you know Mummy loves you, you know Daddy loves you’ each night before they go to sleep, and refuses to allow his own personal frustrations with his estranged wife or the media coverage to filter through to his kids.


“Whatever my personal feelings are, I won't let that affect my kids,” he told the New of The World.
