Peter Andre says marriage hasn’t changed his relationship with Emily MacDonagh.
The 43-year-old TV personality and his 26-year-old wife Emily recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary but Peter says not much changed because they were together for so long before tying the knot.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’, Peter said: "Things haven’t really changed for us because we’ve been together for six years. To me it felt like we were married very early on. I guess I think about my mum and dad who have been married for 60 years."
When pressed by the panellists if anything felt different the day after the wedding, he quipped: "You’re smiling because you’ve consummated the marriage."
Speaking of his parents’ marriage Peter explained how it was very different for them as they weren’t allowed to be alone before they got married and had to be chaperoned.
Peter said: "Like I say, my mum and dad, have been married 60 years. Back in those days it was different – there were arranged marriages."
When asked if he thought his parents’ marriage was arranged, he replied: "Well, I don’t quite know what happened, but my mother was chaperoned by her brother.
"Mum and dad were not allowed to be alone until they got married. They were always chaperoned by her brother. Could you imagine my brother being there with me and Ems?"
"So then I guess the first year would be different, right? You get used to each other and your different habits. They’re still together 61 years later."
Along with their first anniversary celebrations Peter and Emily are also looking forward to the birth of their second child.
The couple already have two-year-old daughter Amelia and Peter also has two children with his ex-wife Katie Price, Junior, 10 and Princess, eight.
