Peter Andre reveals strict parenting rules for daughter Princess, 16, and her boyfriend
PETER Andre has spoken about the strict parenting rules he has imposed on daughter Princess and her first boyfriend.
The 16-year-old went public with the lad back in June after they were first seen together in May during a day out in Brighton with mum Katie Price and her partner Carl Woods.
Peter, who also shares son Junior, 18, with ex wife Katie, has shared what the pair are allowed to do while they are together hanging out in his Surrey mansion.
The Mysterious Girl singer is also dad to Amelia, nine, and Theo, six, who are from his marriage to Emily MacDonagh - and he wants to make sure that his oldest are good role models for them.
Peter said: "Any parenting tips or rules are only as good as they are in your house.
"My rules in my house are very straightforward. Everyone knows them, it's not even a question.

"With boyfriends or girlfriends, it's downstairs, doors are open and it's daytime. Down the line if there is a sleepover, one can sleep downstairs.
"We have younger children too and you don't want them seeing things.
"If the relationship ends and then you bring someone else in, it doesn't look right and as far as the little kids are concerned it's always a friend is over.
"'I have strict rules when it comes to that but like I said, downstairs, doors open and daytime."
It comes just days after the dad-of-four admitted he’s really not happy about Princess having a boyfriend.
Pete told Woman magazine: “I’m not happy about this at all.
"I’m struggling beyond belief, but that’s life. We’ve had many chats. I have very strict rules in my house.
“I had this rule that would never have a boyfriend until she was 38, and now she’s 16 and she’s talking about boys!”
He went on to reveal that his viewpoint has slightly changed on the issue thanks to his wife Emily helping him realise the error of his ways.
“But Emily really made me realise that I can’t treat her differently to how I treated Junior at that age,” Pete explained.
“That’s where my old school mentality had to change. It took a while, but I’ve got there.”
Princess and her boyfriend were linked back in May and that was when Peter revealed she has a boyfriend.
