British-Australian singer Peter Andre has once again made headlines, this time in a public dispute with his ex-wife, Katie Price. Known for his music career and reality TV appearances, Peter recently responded online to claims made by Price regarding their children.

But who is Peter Andre, and why is his personal life getting renewed attention?

Early Life and Music Start

Peter Andre was born Peter James Andrea on 27 February 1973 in Harrow, London. His family moved to Australia when he was just 6 years old. He grew up on the Gold Coast, raised by Greek Cypriot parents.

At 16, he appeared on the talent show New Faces, which led to his first recording contract. His early songs Drive Me Crazy and Gimme Little Sign charted in Australia, with the latter staying on the charts for 31 weeks.

Breakthrough in the UK

Peter rose to fame in the UK in the mid-90s. His hit Mysterious Girl reached No. 2 in 1996, then climbed to No. 1 when re-released in 2004, after he starred in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

His second album topped the UK Albums Chart, and he won an ARIA Award for the highest-selling Australian single in 1993.

Life With Katie Price

Peter met Katie Price on I’m a Celebrity in 2004. The couple married in September 2005 and had two children: Junior and Princess. Their lives were featured on multiple ITV2 reality shows between 2004 and 2009.

After their divorce in 2009, Peter moved on with both music and TV. In 2015, he married Emily MacDonagh, a doctor. They now have two children and live in Surrey, with a second home in Cyprus.

Other Work and TV Projects

Recent Disputes With Katie Price

In 2025, Peter broke his silence on longstanding claims made by Price. He stated that Junior and Princess were placed in his custody in 2018 due to safety concerns. He also cited past court rulings from 2011 and 2015, which found Katie Price had made false allegations, resulting in fines and a public apology.

He warned on social media that more “untruths” may be addressed soon.

Meanwhile, Katie Price responded on her podcast. She said she was not allowed to attend Princess’s 18th birthday and suggested a sit-down to end the feud.
