The Mysterious Girl singer has said that the two children he shares with his ex, Princess Andre and Junior Andre, have been in his care since 2018.

He claimed that the two young adults were placed in his care when they were teens “for their safety” in a bombshell statement shared on Thursday night about his ex Katie.

Taking to Instagram, Peter spoke out just hours after Katie said she had made contact with him after their fallout over daughter Princess.

In the statement shared on his social media page, Peter penned: “For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones.

“But staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.”

He continued: “The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.

“For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.

“In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.

“I have never made this public before out of respect for my children.”

Pete went on: “In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims.

“She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management.

“The same falsehoods are being repeated today.”

He concluded: “Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.”

It comes just hours after Katie spoke about reaching out to Pete in her latest podcast.

Pete spoke out after the former glamour model insisted that she’s a “bloody good mum” to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all.

Katie said: “There’s no reason why both parents just can’t be there to support her. Now this isn’t about me. I have to clarify this.

“I don’t care that I’m not in Princess’s show.

“I don’t need to raise my profile by being on Princess’s show, I do enough stuff.

“All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it’s the same with Junior, I don’t care if I’m in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that’s what I did.

“And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I’m proud of her.

“And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I’ve missed out on so much.”

She concluded: “Life would be more at peace because I don’t have a problem.

“For the sake of the children, there’s room for everyone to support your kids.

“Do you know what I mean? I’m not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.”

Katie speaking out came after her daughter Princess, 18, made two subtle swipes about her mum in her new series The Princess Diaries.

In episode four of her series, Princess did a photoshoot and said she “felt like my mum” as she posed up a storm.

But soon after, Princess made the first of two subtle swipes in the episode.

She explained how she had previously seen snaps of her mum modelling when she was younger, and how her shoot reminded her of that.

Taking a subtle swipe, Princess then said: “But obviously she did topless. And I would not do topless.”

Then, later on in the episode, Princess seemingly took a second swipe at her mum when she gushed over how she goes to her stepmum Emily for advice.

“Ems is like the best at advice,” Princess gushed in the second part of the episode.

She went on: “I feel like, if I’m ever in a situation that I don’t want to talk to dad about, I’ll speak to Ems about it.”
