Princess Andre has disclosed that the forthcoming celebration of her eighteenth birthday, scheduled for June 29, has elicited a deeply emotional reaction from her father, Peter Andre, who is reportedly experiencing significant difficulty accepting the reality of her transition into adulthood.
The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price further confirmed the recent termination of her romantic relationship with an unnamed partner, with whom she had been involved for a period of approximately two years.
In response to public speculation, Princess Andre recently addressed allegations from social media users suggesting she had not independently financed the purchase of her new vehicle—a white Audi A1 valued at approximately £10,000—after sharing related images on Instagram.
Recounting an emotional moment with her father, Peter Andre, she stated: “We were listening to music and suddenly I heard him sobbing. I was like, ‘Are you OK?’ And he admitted it was hard for him to see me grow up.”
Turning to matters of a personal nature, Ms. Andre further commented: “I’m feeling good. I’ve always kept my personal life private, so I don’t talk too much about it, but now is the time to focus on me. I want to get my career to exactly where I want it.”
Although now legally permitted to consume alcohol, Ms. Princess Andre has publicly stated that she has no intention of engaging in excessive or high-profile nightlife activities. Instead, she intends to mark her milestone birthday with more subdued social outings, including casual visits to local public houses in the company of friends.
Her father, Mr. Peter Andre (aged 52), has previously expressed concerns regarding the rapid pace at which his daughter appears to be maturing. However, he has acknowledged a gradual shift in his parenting approach, indicating a willingness to allow her increased autonomy. In comments provided to The Sun, Mr. Andre stated: “It’s hard because you’re so strict as a parent, but as time goes on you start letting the reins go a little bit. You don’t want to let them go too much too quick.”
With respect to her potential involvement in reality television programming, Mr. Andre was unequivocal, stating that participation in a series such as Love Island was entirely out of the question. He added humorously: “I don’t even know the words ‘Love Island.’ Those two words don’t go together in my house.” However, he conceded that, with time, his influence over such decisions may diminish.
It was further reported last month that Ms. Andre had ended her romantic relationship, allegedly due to the increasing demands of her professional commitments, which were said to leave “no place for a man.” The relationship, which had largely remained outside public scrutiny, was initially made known when Ms. Andre invited her then-partner to accompany her to her mother Katie Price’s 45th birthday celebration in Brighton in May 2023. Despite the personal nature of the breakup, sources indicate that Ms. Andre intends to maintain her longstanding practice of keeping such matters private.#newsafro_
In a statement to The Mirror, she remarked: “[My father] is so proud and supportive, but I believe it is inherently difficult for any parent to witness their child grow older. He was the first person I took for a drive in the new car.”
