Raising four kids in today’s digital world comes with its fair share of challenges, and Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have decided to tackle them head-on.
The celebrity couple recently shared a strict household rule they’ve put in place to encourage better behavior among their children—banning iPads and phones.
According to them, this simple change has led to a noticeable shift in their family’s dynamic.
Cutting Out Screens for a More Positive Household
Speaking on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, Peter revealed that they made a conscious decision to eliminate tablets and phones, especially during the holidays.
He proudly shared, “We said to them, ‘iPads and phones are gone,’ and we’ve actually stuck to that.”
The former footballer emphasized that this wasn’t just an impulsive decision but rather a well-thought-out move to create a more engaged and interactive family environment.
In addition to the screen ban, the couple has implemented other household rules, including prioritizing homework and ensuring they all spend quality time together before winding down for the night.
The Valentine’s Day Surprise That Backfired
Beyond parenting, the couple also delved into some hilarious personal anecdotes, including a particularly awkward Valentine’s Day memory.
Abbey, reminiscing about the event, recalled how she went all out for the occasion, dressing in luxurious Agent Provocateur lingerie under a chic coat, expecting a romantic hotel stay.
However, Peter had other plans. Instead of a getaway, he had arranged a fancy dinner at home with a private chef.
The unexpected setup left Abbey in a tricky situation—she couldn’t remove her coat at the dinner table since she was only wearing lingerie underneath!
“Pete kept telling me to take my coat off, but I just kept saying, ‘Oh no, it’s a bit chilly in here,’” she laughed.
The situation became even more uncomfortable when the chef chose to sit with them throughout the meal.
Peter later revealed that this incident is why he gifts Abbey a Burberry coat every Valentine’s Day.
“You should’ve told me!” he joked, while Abbey admitted that by the end of the meal, she gave up and threw on her fleece dressing gown instead.
Abbey’s Stunning Lingerie Campaign
Abbey is no stranger to turning heads, and this Valentine’s season, she did just that as she modeled Agent Provocateur’s latest lingerie collection.
The 39-year-old flaunted her toned figure in a series of sultry pieces, from black lace sets with suspenders to a striking pink and black corset.
Her effortless elegance and confidence were on full display, proving why she continues to be one of the most sought-after models.
A Rocky (and Hilarious) First Date
While Abbey and Peter are now one of the most beloved celebrity couples, their love story had quite a rough start.
Abbey shared how, on their first date, Peter took her to a pub and made her buy him a drink—something she had never done before in her life!
“I was 19, living with my mom, and barely had any money. I had like £7 on me, and when I said, ‘I’ll get the next round,’ he asked for a Guinness,” she recalled.
Panicked, she ended up buying him the beer while getting herself a tap water because she couldn’t afford another drink.
Peter burst into laughter, admitting he had no idea she was struggling financially at the time.
To make matters worse, he casually invited her back to his place, pointing out that he could see his apartment window from the pub.
“I was like, ‘No, take me home now!’” Abbey laughed.
No Holding Back on Relationship Talk
Abbey and Peter have never shied away from discussing their relationship on their podcast, often giving listeners a peek into their private life.
Abbey once jokingly referred to herself as “a bit of a fridge” when recalling how they slept in the same bed multiple times before actually becoming intimate.
She’s also confessed that their romance wasn’t all sparks initially, but over time, their connection grew into something special.
In a previous podcast episode, Abbey called out Peter for his cheeky way of initiating intimacy—sending her explicit emoji texts when he sensed they had alone time.
“He hears me come home after dropping the kids off, and suddenly I get a beaver and an aubergine emoji,” she groaned.
“How vile is that? Am I supposed to be like, ‘Oh yeah, now I’m in the mood’?”
A Couple That Laughs Together
Despite the awkward dates, hilarious mishaps, and unconventional romantic gestures, Abbey and Peter’s relationship thrives on humor and honesty.
Whether they’re reminiscing about their early days, enforcing parenting rules, or playfully teasing each other, one thing is clear—they make an incredible team.
Their candid conversations on The Therapy Crouch continue to entertain fans, proving that even after years of marriage, they still know how to keep things interesting.
