Peter Andre defends Kourtney Kardashian parenting after backlash over son's mohawk

Peter Andre has defended Kourtney Kardashian after she was slammed by fans over her son Reign's latest haircut.

The reality star, 43, shared pictures of her seven-year-old son styling his hair into a mohawk, with some people saying he "doesn't look happy".

"Every parent has the right to do what they think is right," Peter, 49, wrote in his column for new! Magazine.

"Junior had highlights when he was really young, so I can't criticise!"

Kourtney shared the snaps on Instagram, after Reign had the sides shaven off for his new rocker look.

The black-and-white pictures show Reign- whose father is Scott Disick, 39 - sporting a spiky mohawk, with him having had a similar hairstyle back in 2020.

Mysterious Girl singer Peter went on to say: "People will always criticise but you've got to do what feels right for you and your kids."

Kourtney captioned her Instagram post with a razor and 'rock on' emoji. It has received more than 1.5 million likes, but not everyone has been supportive.

One person commented: "He doesn’t look happy."

Another wrote: "Stop changing your personality for Travis."

A third said: "This is so dumb to do. How could you do this to your son," whilst another person commented: "He seems a little upset."

Kourtney's family, however, were quick to give their approval, with her sister Kim Kardashian, 41, and mother Kris Jenner, 66, liking the post.

Reign's father Scott - with whom Kourtney also shares Mason, 12, and Penelope, nine - also liked his ex's snaps.

Singer Avril Lavigne and fashion designer Stacey Bendet shared heart emojis in the comments section.

Reign's mohawk hairstyle was notably sported by his stepdad Travis Barker during part of his career with rock band Blink-182.

Kourtney's post comes as Travis recently showed off his wife's sexy underwear emblazoned with his name.

Posting on his Instagram Story, the musician showed fans a picture of Kourtney's cream-coloured thong. It had dainty flowers stitched on it as well as his name in blue.

Kourtney also reposted the image on her Instagram page.
