Abbey Clancy clearly adores life with her family – 6ft 7" former England striker Peter Crouch, 44, and their four children. But there's one element of parenting their brood with Peter that can get on her nerves, as she admits candidly in an exclusive interview with OK!.
When it comes to parenting Sophia, who turns 14 this week, Liberty, nine, Johnny, seven, and five-year-old Jack, says Abbey, Mum and Dad have very distinct roles. “Pete’s good cop and I’m bad cop,” she admits. “I’m the one going, ‘Do your homework, eat your veg,’ and Pete’s like, ‘Let’s play, kids!’ which can be annoying but… it works." Despite having to play the strict parent, she adds, "Our kids are very good, though.They’ve all got distinct personalities but they’re all easy-going.That’s not to say family life isn’t chaotic – it’s totally chaotic!
There’s absolutely nothing chilled about the Crouch household, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.” The devoted mum also admits that, having dreamed about finding some precious ‘me’ time when her children were younger, she misses them now they’re all of school age and out of the door in the morning – albeit to four different schools, making drop-offs and pick-ups interesting. “I do miss them running about the place,” Abbey reflects. “We love everything about family life.
I mean, my kids are not happy unless they’re three inches away from me – even Sophia, my eldest – and I really hope that continues.” And though the model and presenter admits that she and Peter, who have been together for nearly two decades and married for 14 years, genuinely love spending any spare minute in each other’s company, she admits jokingly that there are other things about her other half that can get on her nerves.
