Peter Andre is struggling to come to terms with his daughter Princess growing up and recently opened up about the difficulty of parenting a teenager. The Mysterious Girl singer, who shares Princess and son Junior with his ex Katie Price, admitted it was agonising to watch his daughter fall in love.
The 50-year-old revealed his wife Emily McDonagh had helped him adjust his parenting style and loosen the reins on his 16-year-old daughter. Though it was difficult for Peter to accept, Princess recently went public with her new relationship on her YouTube channel and has been spotted out with her beau since then.
The dad-of-four spoke about his daughter’s dating life for the first time and told Woman magazine: ‘I’m not happy about this at all. I’m struggling beyond belief, but that’s life. We’ve had many chats. I had this rule that she would never have a boyfriend until she was 38, and now she’s 16 and she’s talking about boys!’
However, Emily managed to reassure him with some wise words of advice. Peter shared: ‘Emily really made me realise that I can’t treat her differently to how I treated Junior at that age. That’s where my old-school mentality had to change. It took a while, but I’ve got there.’
The star celebrated his daughter’s 16th birthday with a sweet Instagram post showing pictures and videos from their celebratory lunch. In the clips, Princess, Emily, and Junior posed together as they showered the teenager with 16 balloons and a massive pink cake complete with sparklers.
In the caption, Peter wished his daughter a happy birthday and thanked those involved in the celebration. Fans then rushed to the comment section to send their own well-wishes and comment on the young star’s beauty.
Peter’s struggles with parenting a teenager is a situation many parents can relate to. But it looks like the singer has managed to find the right balance between being a supportive dad and allowing his daughter the freedom to make her own decisions.
