Peter Andre’s hilarious response to son Junior who told him he ‘didn’t want his dad to have more kids’
PETER Andre’s son Junior once made his feelings about his dad having another baby very clear.
The TV personality recently revealed his 34-year-old wife Emily MacDonagh is pregnant and they are expecting their third child together.
Although his famous kids have stayed mostly tight lipped, Junior, 18, spoke of his reservations about his father adding another sibling to the mix in a previous interview.
Junior is Peter’s eldest child that he shares with his ex-wife Katie Price, whom he was married too from 2005 until 2009.
However, he previously express concerns that the age gap would be too big and as a result he wouldn’t be able to form a significant bond.
In an interview with OK! magazine back in 2021, he said: “If Emily got pregnant now that means the baby would be born when I’m almost 17 and I don’t think the same strong bond would be there.”
“I’ll be close to moving out of the house. I want to be the big brother they love so much and not someone they hardly ever see.”
He added: “I also have six siblings already so there are quite a few of us.”
Aside from Junior, Peter is already father to three other kids, Princess, 16, Amelia, 10, and six-year-old Theo.
That same year the Mysterious Girl singer was asked about the prospect of expanding his brood.
In the strongest terms he replied: “Hell to the no! I did say we had this year to decide and I didn’t want to be changing nappies after I’m 50, but because of Covid I’ve pushed it back a year to 51!”
But Peter’s now going to be a dad for the fifth time and sharing a snap on Instagram, Emily stood behind her husband as she held up their baby scans.
He said: “We are delighted to share the news with you all.
“A new addition to our family in 2024
“The kids are so excited. So are we.”
Although Junior hasn’t publicly congratulated his dad, some quite unlikely people have.
Kieran Hayler, 36 – Katie’s third husband who she married in 2013 – has reacted to the news.
He was one of the first to comment, promptly writing: “Congratulations,” followed by a red love heart.
