Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy have been married for 14 years and share four children together, and the pair have recently opened up on living ‘separate lives’
Peter Crouch has candidly discussed a point of contention between him and his wife Abbey Clancy, following their recent admission to leading “separate lives”.
The couple, who have been married for 14 years and have four children, had previously touched on their individual pursuits on their joint podcast, Therapy Crouch.
Abbey had mentioned that Peter often spends his days playing golf, while she enjoys horse riding, suggesting that this time apart has contributed to their “healthy relationship”. However, in their latest episode, Peter revealed that this new dynamic has created tension.
During the ‘weekly whines’ segment, he expressed: “Where do I start? It’s a difficult one, this, because I wanted you to have a passion [horse riding] like I have. I feel like you’ve got a passion, but you’ve f***ed me off.”
Abbey retorted, telling her husband not to “be so jealous”, saying: “Now you know how I feel.”
Peter continued: “I’m really pleased with your horse riding and all that’s great. But, you know, I’ve kind of wanted you back a bit now.”
Abbey explained that she had finally acquired the horse she had been wanting for “two years”, prompting Peter to respond: “My issue is, we don’t talk about anything else, really.”
The couple, who tied the knot back in 2011, have been pushing the envelope in their respective careers, which has led to spending more time apart.
However, they both agree that this space has actually benefited their relationship, reports Wales Online.
In a chat with OK! magazine, Abbey couldn’t hide her happiness about sharing her life with Peter, while he has hinted that the secret to “a healthy relationship” might be found in allowing each partner time to pursue their own interests.
Abbey and Peter’s individual pursuits not only bring them joy but also contribute to their physical well-being. Abbey previously explained how horse riding has become a part of her recuperation after falling ill.
She detailed: “I ride for like over an hour, just over an hour, because I’m building up my fitness, because since skiing, I had that bug. My chest is still not 100%.
“And it’s taking time. I need to fit in the gym as well because it’s a different type of fitness. I was doing my bingo wing exercise today.”
