Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

Does Junior still see Kp?

No idea what Peter Andre's relationship with Katie Price was like, but from the perspective of the two kids she had with him, they have a father who provides a stable family household environment with a pleasant, ordinary stepmum, but they have a mother who brings man after man after man into their lives (and has done so throughout their childhoods, with barely a break between them), is mentally unstable, constantly has major, risky surgeries, overshares about their lives all the time, repeatedly buys family pets which then die in accidents due to her neglect/inattention, has significant substance abuse problems, let their home fill with rubbish and dog shit, is regularly in trouble with the law and generally makes their lives erratic, chaotic and embarrassing.

Honestly, if my mum had behaved like that, my relationship with her would have been very, very strained indeed by the time I was Princess's and Junior's ages. If you had a friend whose mother behaved like that, you'd be telling them to distance themselves from her for the sake of their own mental health.

It can be hard to untangle PA from Claire

But between them their business model for years has been to promote pete and Emily as the "not Katies"

And no matter how bad she is. That's still a ⛳

KP is an abusive hot mess. She treats everyone appallingly - including staff, partners, pets.

PA is not a very interesting or a very talented man, he’s rather whiny and self-absorbed but he’s not abusive.

Speaking differently to their next girlfriend is just another abuse tactic by controlling men.

The next girlfriend gets praise based on how unlike the ex she is. And it becomes a whole new way to control a woman as she strives to retain her title of "the right kind of woman"

Idk if that fits the bill here.

But the "you're great cause you're not like my ex" men are major ⛳

Quotes from interviews

[After Emily's father operated on him] Mysterious Girl singer Peter continued: "We became friends and I met the family, and for two years we were all friends - Emily's family and my family.
"I think it was two years later we were all in Zanzibar. I'd gone on a holiday with them because they work with the health care system out there.
"And I remember they all walked together holding hands. It's such a lovely thing. I used to see them together holding hands [Skipped a chunk]

....On one side I'm holding Emily's hand, and on the other side I'm holding her father's arm.
"And I was getting tingly feelings on one side of my body, and on the other side of my body I was so nervous because I didn't know what I was feeling.
"And I thought 'Oh, no, I've got feelings for Emily - what do I say?'

So he decides to approach her father and tells him he has feelings for Emily and the Father gives permission - you could argue the father didn't have much choice really, but isn't that pretty much the case these days anyway? - but the father does say he felt he suspected there was chemistry between the two of them and gives permission.

I'm assuming by now Emily is 22 possibly going on 23

There's a couple ways of looking at it. PA meets the surgeon father who operates on him. Emily as per PP above, finds out father has contact with PA and asks to meet him. Father introduces her. Peter Andre takes a shine to Emily and stays in touch with the surgeon ostensibly with the purpose of continuing to be in her orbit but possibly styling it as some higher purpose.

Or

Peter Andre meeting Emily was totally sensitive to her younger age and so held back from making a bold move, instead getting to know her through interacting with her family, and introducing her family to his. He realises this would be serious and not a mere fling. He observes her character and her family values and likes what he sees. He is totally respectful in his interactions with her and respectfully seeks her father's approval before dating her.

It does say Junior and Princess are still quite young children when they are introduced.

I personally would not like my daughter to be a step mother at such a young age and for her first serious relationship, but life isn't always neat and tidy and she is immensely sensible and her based family values have translated well to being a very good SM.

I am not sure if she became a practicing GP before their first child was born. It's absolutely ages ago but I seem to recall her taking some time out but that could have been afterwards.

When you think of the reality of what KP’s children have been put through it is actually quite sad and depressing despite them all putting on showbiz smiles and showing of their lifestyle.

Princess kind of touches my heart because they are so vulnerable at that age when they are just stepping out into the world. She is no different to other young women her age. I hope she enjoys these incredible opportunities to meet interesting people and travel. And that her druggie mum doesn’t spoil it for her.

I just watched Princess's series and there doesn't seem to be any rift between her and KP. She constantly says how close they are and that KP isn't at her (obviously tv show/manager Claire organised) birthday party because she doesn't like having her mum and dad at the same event.

KP is apparently upset that Princess is being managed by Claire which I can understand, but I think the rift has just been fabricated by the media.

Just like she does with all the baby animals that have ended up neglected and dead.

I agree that she has very low self esteem. I remember watching an interview of her as Jordan when she was about 2 - 3 months pregnant with Harvey. It was on Frank Skinner's chat show and you could tell that he could sense her vulnerability.

Yeah, she even admitted that she loves the newborn phase. She probably gets bored of babies when they grow up

Re: the SA, even Katie herself didn't say she'd been gang-raped at 7, so forgive us if we don't pay great attention to your posts. That was when she was referring to the South African attack, the account of which also kept changing and which ITV and the local police on the case confirmed did not happen as she alleged.
Interestingly, ITV have not had Katie on screen since that time, as she effectively accused them of not taking proper care of her.

Did the mum fill out her part of the student finance form so she can get student finance?

Yes she was always making underhand digs about his 'acorn' penis.

I think he got married to her thinking they both wanted the same thing, settle down ,family life and that they'd settle into that way of living.

Whereas I think she got very bored once the adrenaline of the big wedding wore off. The excitement of the pregnancies and was left living this rather "boring" life.

It's why she always needs to 'get pregnant ' with every bloke: it's not the baby or the child she wants. It's the novelty and excitement of a big life event. She doesn't know how to live the parts of life (that should form the majority of our living ) that are just 'cruising' where there's no big highs of lows. Hence why she kept bullying Peter like a high school mean girl and then shagged her dressage instructor.

I totally agree it’s absolutely criminal that KP has failed to provide for a child who will never live independently. And I firmly believe reports that she’s made millions

She did. She hinted that he wasn’t man enough. They are just different kinds of people. Some men might think it would be “fun” to date a glamour model but the reality is probably very different to the fantasy.

She was 20 when they started dating? I am just letting that sink in. I have family members that age and I would hate it if they were dating a 36 year old. You want them to date within their age group and grow up together. What was her father thinking by encouraging the relationship? But Pete is famous and I have seen how people fawn over the famous when they meet them irl. And PA is probably very personable and a nice guy. I think I would be more concerned if a young friend was dating KP because of her drug use. There is a similar age difference between KP and her boyfriend by the way.

I feel dirty knowing who these people are.

Jesus if that’s what she said he was quite right !

Set in the context of someone who was constantly goading him and suggesting that she had cheated on him or would do so, no I don’t think it was as awful as you say. I doubt he speaks to Emily like that. She is a car wreck.

I obviously wasn’t in their house but from rumours and my best friend who experienced similar things, princess may have seen her mum drunk/on it to many times and maybe didn’t want her stealing the lime light. Peter does seem more grounded.
princess obviously only got a show because of her parents but I personally I wouldn’t want my mum who can be “funny” potentially ruining it for me.
Emily is probably the best thing to happen in peters life and his kids

Yawn. Give over. You've drank the publicly prescribed trope she was bargaining on the public taking. Well done, hook like and sinker. Some people are so gullible.

I thought it was disgusting how she filmed herself telling him off and saying he would be 'sent back' to his accommodation because he was 'naughty and broke the TV' poor lad didn't seem to know what was going on.

I think she hasn’t been a great mum and the kids where bound to turn on her . I honestly pity her kids because they are all bound to suffer from her behaviour and neglect . And it’s not like she even admits it , she still behaves awful and has no consideration on the impact it has on them .
