40 YO Peter Andre and his 23 YO GF are expecting a baby.

She's just finished a degree in medicine and has the world at her feet.

I Just Don't Get It.

Meant to say Dyspraxia but probably a wee bit Dyslexia

Cravey · 23/07/2013 16:29

I think not yo momma likes peter andre lol .

KobayashiMaru · 23/07/2013 16:30

I think a better question is : Why would you possibly care?

ABitLesMis · 23/07/2013 16:30

Is it the age gap you have an issue with OP?

YouStayClassySanDiego · 23/07/2013 16:31

She sees the love shining out of his soul, the love that only Pete has, who could resist that. Hmm

Sparklysilversequins · 23/07/2013 16:35

No I have no issue with the age gap. I am late thirties myself, my last boyfriend was 28.

I just cannot understand why a girl like that with so many opportunities ahead of her would choose to spend her life with such a joke of a man. I thought he was a controlling, sulky arsehole on his reality show and I wonder if he's the same with her.

I thought Dyspraxia was about motor skills (my son was assessed for it).
As for Andre and his girlfriend, I agree she could do a lot better! But then I'm sure people say the same about my husband, and he doesn't love his kids half as much as the Orange one. Grin

Sparklysilversequins · 23/07/2013 16:36

Grin at "she's probably got a lot of post student debt".

dontwannasaywho · 23/07/2013 16:37

It is motor skills, but did u not read my post, I said probably a bit dyslexia too.

cantspel · 23/07/2013 16:39

But you dont know him and she clearly does so maybe you are wrong in your view of him gleamed from a tv show rather than meeting and having a relationship with the man.

WorraLiberty · 23/07/2013 16:40

You're basing your opinion of him on a TV show?

Well that's probably your answer then...his girlfriend isn't.

Not sure why you mentioned the age gap if you're not bothered about it?

LessMissAbs · 23/07/2013 16:43

She probably has a rather glamorous image of him, and he has probably treated her well and taken her to lots of fun, glamorous nights out, premieres, etc.. Shes pleasant looking but relatively ordinary, and if she has just finished a degree in medicine, he probably offers an escape route from all the stress, annoying male medical students, etc..

teenagetantrums · 23/07/2013 16:45

why do you care? im sure they are happy i don't know them but i hope they will be happy, if they are not im sure you can post a thread saying i told you so..

Sparklysilversequins · 23/07/2013 16:50

Why does anyone care about anything and post on MN?

OP posts:
Feminine · 23/07/2013 16:51

Nasty thread. I have only seen him portrayed in a positive light. Why wouldn't she want to be with him?

glastocat · 23/07/2013 16:55

Because he is bright orange?

cantspel · 23/07/2013 16:56

maybe she likes orange

Sparklysilversequins · 23/07/2013 16:57

What would I be saying "I told you so about"? What have I told you?

OP posts:
KobayashiMaru · 23/07/2013 16:57

Usually because it relates to their life in some way and impacts them?

This is just infantile gossiping about people you think you know but don't. Haven't we got a Sleb Shite topic you could post in?

Sparklysilversequins · 23/07/2013 17:00

Grin you are SO obnoxious on every thread you are on Kob.

OP posts:
dontwannasaywho · 23/07/2013 17:02

I thinks it's more rude to slag off a poster on a forums writing than it is to slag off a celebrity none of us know.

GeneHuntsMistress · 23/07/2013 17:02

The future's bright.

dontwannasaywho · 23/07/2013 17:03

Everyone has celebs they are not keen on, if not them put your hands up if you like every famous person on the planet!

ShoutyCrackers · 23/07/2013 17:04

Me too dontwanna, but some posters like to feel superior.

As to the OP - I agree. Ah, Peter Andre. If only his life wasn't shrouded in mystery and intrigue and we could be allowed just a small glimpse into the world of this enigmatic man. I mean, he's just so private and insular isn't he ?

Nerfmother · 23/07/2013 17:05

The only weird thing is she met though his surgeon ( it's her dad) when he had an op. I have never even when going private been introduced to prospective husbands
