Peter Andre shares emotional moment he’s reunited with his mum Thea who’s battling Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
PETER Andre admitted it is “harder and harder” to see his beloved mum battle Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease as he shared an adorable clip of their reunion.
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker’s parents – who recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary – still live in Peter‘s native Australia.
Two years ago, the popstar, 51, said he planned to take his entire family Down Under amid his 89-year-old mum’s health struggle.
Yet, since welcoming little girl Arabella Rose last year, his family life has been more fixed in the UK.
Despite this, the Aussie has taken a long-haul flight to see his parents Thea and Savvas, 91, delighting fans with a clip showing their tender moments together.
His mum could be seen in bed, propped up with pillows and wrapped up in a zebra-print blanket
Doting son Peter was perched in a chair alongside her, with their arms wrapped together and holding hands.
In his emotional Instagram caption, he wrote: “Love you mum. It’s getting harder and harder to see you like this.
“I cherish every moment I have with you,” rounding off his words with a red love heart Emoji icon.
In the video, he flashed a bittersweet smile as he said: “Just me and mama, sitting here, linked arms, just chilling together.”
Fans were quick to react, with one writing: “Aww what a lovely video Peter, I’m so so happy that you got to go and see your mum.”
Another posted: “Such lovely precious moment so glad you got over there too see her I am sure she was really made up to see you.”
A third noted: “Love the love you have for her.”
One then added: “Aww bless, so glad you was able to get to go and see your mum, this is a lovely video Peter.”
The dad of five then added a snap of his parents together and posted: “Only dad can make her laugh like this.
“I love them both beyond words.”

STRONG BOND
Thea is battling both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
Last year, Flava singer Pete said growing older comes with the pain of seeing his elderly parents’ health deteriorating.
At the time, he wrote in his New! Magazine column: “Although I thank God my parents are still here, I am seeing the rapid decline, especially in Mum.
“I find that part hard to deal with.”
The star added: “Like most people, l’m so close to my parents that it is really difficult to come to terms with.”
Peter – who shares daughter Princess, 17, and son Junior, 19, with ex-wife Katie Price – took all of his kids including his youngest children and wife Emily to see his parents in 2023.
The chart star previously said he was finding visiting Aus tricky due to his kids’ school arrangements and Emily’s work commitments as an NHS doctor.
