Peter Andre, 52, reveals downside to age gap relationship with wife Emily, 35
Peter Andre has defended the 16-year age gap in his relationship with wife Emily MacDonagh – but one incident that showed their generational gap still makes them laugh. The musician and TV star, 52, married doctor Emily, 35, in 2015, soon after welcoming children Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and one-year-old Arabella. Peter also has two children, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with former wife Katie Price. Peter and Emily have experienced some backlash against their 16-year age gap, which the I'm A Celebrity contestant defended in a new interview. In his column for New! magazine, Peter discussed Stephen Fry, 67, speaking about the age gap in his marriage with Elliott Spencer, 38, and how Peter and Emily's age difference 'works' for them. 'It all depends on the relationship, how the partners are with each other, and how they view things, I think. There's a 16-year gap between me and Emily, and it really works for us,' he wrote. However, he did muse over one incident where their generational gap was very noticeable. 'There's one thing we do laugh about, though… We were at the Pride of Britain awards one year and Jon Bon Jovi came over to chat. I've met him many times over the years and he's a lovely person,' he continued. After the introduction, Peter was shocked to discover Emily had no idea who the legendary rock star was, asking her husband 'What's a Bon Jovi?' 'We laughed about that a lot afterwards! It's in those moments we may realise the age gap – usually with music and films – but in general, we love the same things. I think it's what works for you in a relationship. Who are we to judge?' he said. Peter, who is currently on screens in controversial thriller comedy Jafaican, met Emily in 2012, with them tying the knot three years later. He previously discussed not opting for a pre-nuptial agreement before tying the knot, saying: 'I think it does depend on upbringing. So some cultures think that you should always keep your own money, some think you should all be together. 'But as you grow older, you start to figure it out yourself. I know with Emily at the start I had different views to what I've got now. I mean, we don't have a prenup. We've got children together.' More Trending Last year, Peter said he and Emily were 'pretty sure' Arabella would be their last child, with the singer speaking out numerous times about the prospect of having a vasectomy. 'I appeared on Loose Women last week to promote the Frankie Valli tour and one of the topics we discussed is whether a man should get a vasectomy,' he wrote back in February. 'Having children is a big decision. We frequently expect the woman to have to find a way and take measures not to become pregnant, but actually I realise that us men have a responsibility too. 'The problem is, like many, I'm a bit scared of having that kind of procedure. I know, call me a wimp. Who knows? Never say never, I guess.' Got a story?

Peter Andre opens up about nearly 20-year age gap with wife Emily following major mistake
Peter Andre has spoken out on the nearly 20-year age difference between him and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, sharing a specific incident that highlighted the age gap between them. Peter Andre has spoken out regarding his age gap relationship with wife Emily MacDonagh, who is 16 years his junior. The couple tied the knot in 2015 and share three children together - Amelia, Theo and Arabella. In his weekly column for New! Magazine, the Mysterious Girl singer explained that their relationship dynamic "works" for them and joked that age is just a number, though he did share one moment when the age difference was particularly noticeable. In his column, Peter started by discussing 67-year-old Stephen Fry's marriage to Elliot Spencer, who is three decades his junior at age 38, the Mirror reports. Peter admitted that he's not one to judge, saying: "Actor Stephen Fry has talked about the 30-year age gap in his relationship with his partner, Elliott Spencer." "It all depends on the relationship, how the partners are with each other and how they view things, I think. There's a 16-year gap between me and Emily, and it really works for us," he continued. That's not to say the age difference doesn't stand out at times, as Peter went on to explain: "There's one thing we do laugh about, though… We were at the Pride of Britain awards one year and Jon Bon Jovi came over to chat. I've met him many times over the years and he's a lovely person." "He introduced himself to Emily and after he walked away, she turned to me and said, 'Who was that?' I was like, 'Are you serious? It's Bon Jovi.' In the most confused but innocent voice, she said, 'What's a Bon Jovi?' "We laughed about that a lot afterwards! It's in those moments we may realise the age gap –usually with music and films – but in general, we love the same things. I think it's what works for you in a relationship. Who are we to judge?," he joked. The couple first crossed paths when Emily was just 20-years-old and Peter was 36, although they didn't start dating until two years later. They were introduced through Emily's dad, Dr Ruaraidh MacDonagh, a consultant urologist. Back in 2010, Peter underwent kidney stone removal surgery performed by Dr MacDonagh, it was through this connection that he later met Emily, who was then a medical student. Their relationship began in 2012, and three years later they tied the knot in a stunning ceremony held at Mamhead House and Castle in Devon. Today, they are proud parents to three children together, with Emily also acting as a stepmum to Peter's older children - Junior and Princess - who he shares with former glamour model Katie Price. The family maintains a private presence online, choosing to keep the faces of their youngest children off of social media.
