Former England footballer Peter Crouch occasionally “walks out and slams the door” on Abbey Clancy during domestic rows, the model has disclosed.

The ex-Liverpool striker and his wife have been an item for two decades, first crossing paths in December 2005 at a nightclub in her hometown of Liverpool where Abbey was working.

The pair are parents to four youngsters – Sophia Ruby, 14, Liberty Rose, 10, Johnny, seven, and Jack, six. Despite their 20-year journey together, Abbey admitted she’s still “trying to train” her husband – though she acknowledges Peter is making progress.

In an interview with The Times, she revealed: “I’m trying to train Pete to be a but more emotionally intelligent as sometimes he’s like a baby.

“He’ll walk out and slam a door and ignore me for an hour but he’s getting better, and we are very solid as a unit. We like the same things, laugh at the same things. Ours is a happy house even after 20 years together,” reports Wales Online.

Peter and Abbey exchanged vows at an 18th century church in Leicestershire back in June 2011. Abbey went on to reveal that she handles most of the culinary duties in the Crouch residence.

She explained that when she’s “too tired” to prepare meals or if she’s not around, Peter has just one trick up his sleeve in the kitchen.

Abbey shared: “Dinner is always cooked by me; I made these incredible dauphinoise potatoes with steak, mushrooms and green beans last night.

“If I’m too knackered or I’m out, Pete will either grab a takeaway or rustle up the only dish he ever makes, which is Daddy’s omelette – basically crammed with whatever’s lurking in the fridge.”

This follows Abbey leaving Peter gobsmacked after revealing a new addition to the household.

Discussing her daughter’s passion for animals, Abbey explained her decision to surprise Peter – despite his objections.

“My daughter, Liberty, all she wants to be is a mum,” Abbey revealed.

“She’s 10 and she still has all these silicone baby dolls that she dresses. She just loves anything baby, She’s just so loving.”

Abbey’s mum owns a miniature “teacup” Maltese called Bella, whom Liberty absolutely dotes on.

“Lib was saying please, mommy, can I get a Bella?” Abbey recalled, “And I just thought, you know what? I’m going to get one.”

Peter jumped in to clarify that he’d been against welcoming another pet into their home.

He revealed: “The conversation went; ‘I’m thinking about getting this dog,’ I said ‘No, you’re not.'”

Peter admitted he felt his influence had completely evaporated. “I just couldn’t’ believe it,” he declared.

“We talk about losing the dressing room, right? I’ve lost the household.”

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have ramped up their promotional efforts for their upcoming film, ‘The Drama’.

The film’s brief synopsis reveals that the plot unfolds just days before a couple’s wedding, when their relationship is rocked after one partner uncovers disturbing truths about the other.

In a unique promotional stunt, a faux engagement announcement for the ‘blissful couple’ was featured in the Boston Globe alongside the newspaper’s romance advice column. The ad offered more insights into the film’s characters.

It read: “Mr and Mrs Roger Harwood of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, announce the engagement of their daughter, Emma Harwood, to Charlie Thompson, son of Mr and Mrs Alan Thompson of London, England. Mr Harwood, a decorated military veteran, is proud to share this joyous news.

“Miss Harwood is a 2013 graduate of Portside High School and a 2017 honours graduate of Boston University, where she earned her BA degree in English. She is currently employed at Mission Books.

“The future groom, Mr Thompson, was a 2004 graduate of Eaton College and went on to earn his PhD in Art History from Tufts University. He serves as the Director of Cambridge Art Museum. The couple will wed on April 3, 2026.”

Just days following publication, the identical image was unveiled as the official film poster. The snapshot captures a raw, slightly grainy moment between the duo as Zendaya’s character flaunts her engagement ring.

Whilst The Drama is scheduled to hit American cinemas from 3rd April 2026, British film fans are still awaiting confirmation on when they’ll get their chance to watch it.

Borgli crafted the script, with Midsommar’s Ari Aster taking on production duties via his Square Peg production company. His breakthrough film Dream Scenario, which dropped in 2023, starred the unpredictable Nicolas Cage as college lecturer Paul Matthews, who inexplicably begins appearing in strangers’ dreams.

“I was writing it at the beginning of 2020, at the same time as there was a global pandemic ramping up, which felt uncanny and strange because I was writing about a dream pandemic,” the director revealed to GQ.

“I was thinking about massive cultural response to a phenomenon, and here it was, happening at the same time, in a very physical way.”

Off-screen, Spider-Man co-stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are believed to have become engaged last year. The pair are anticipated to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony, with her stylist dropping hints about potential wedding arrangements in recent months.

Speculation around their engagement intensified after Zendaya was photographed sporting a diamond ring at January’s Golden Globes. While the Euphoria actress and 29 year old Tom haven’t publicly confirmed their engagement, those in their inner circle have.

In the meantime, Pattinson has recently welcomed a baby girl into the world with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse.
