Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have been together for nearly two decades, tied the knot back in 2011, and share four kids – not to mention a podcast, The Therapy Crouch. But despite their long-running relationship, the pair recently revealed they’re kind of doing their own thing these days – and they’re absolutely fine with it.
During a recent episode of their podcast, Peter was going on about his golf game, clearly buzzing for the warmer weather to kick in. “I actually played golf the other day and it was like, I took my jumper off and put on the T-shirt. For me, that’s groundbreaking. It really is, because I’ve been through some sh** this year. I’ve been out there in f***ing all sorts of weather. And for me to just put that T-shirt on, it’s just phenomenal,” he said.
Abbey, clearly done with the golf chat, cut in with: “I can’t listen to this anymore. This golf stuff. We live separate lives now. He goes to golf and I go horse riding, and then we meet at the end”, reported the Express.
Peter didn’t seem too phased, though. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Like, not every day, because we need to do stuff together as well. But I think some part of the week, I think that’s a totally healthy relationship.” And Abbey was on board: “It is, because I’ve never been happier.”
Despite the light-hearted jabs, there doesn’t seem to be any actual trouble in paradise. In fact, Abbey has previously gushed about their bond in interviews, telling OK! Magazine: “We honestly do everything together, except work. Actually, even work, because we have our podcast. I don’t need ‘space’ from Peter – unless I’m ill, like I am at the minute, because he’s a c**p nurse and I want him to go away! He’s useless then.”
She added, “We love hanging out together with our friends, going on date nights. Whatever we’re doing, we always have a laugh. I think that’s really helped us.”
Reflecting on their relationship, Abbey said, “We’ve totally grown together over the years. When we look back at our wedding day, some of the choices we’ve made, some things we’ve done in the past, we’re like, ‘Bloody hell, who were we then?!’”
“But today? We’re still in sync. We’ve got the same interests and the same things make us laugh. It’s a really happy time for us at the moment.”
