In a revealing moment of both vulnerability and resilience, media personality Katie Price has claimed that recent efforts to keep her eldest children at arm’s length in public and professional settings are not coming from the children themselves—but from adults behind the scenes.

The 47-year-old mother of five, now stepping into the AI space with her new digital alter ego, told Express.co.uk that her ex-husband Peter Andre, along with the management teams guiding their children Junior (19) and Princess (17), are the driving force behind recent warnings advising the teens to avoid public collaborations with their mother.

"It's not the kids, it's their management and their dad that does that," Katie said, dismissing the narrative that her children were voluntarily pulling away. “It’s not the kids at all.”

Her comments come after earlier reports suggested that Junior and Princess had been advised not to mix “business with family,” with sources citing a strategy to protect their individual public images and brand trajectories.

But Katie disagrees with the portrayal of a growing rift. She says her children have been fully briefed on her latest project—an AI-powered version of her former glamour model persona, Jordan, launched on tech platform OhChat. According to Katie, both Junior and Princess are not only supportive but impressed.

“They think it’s brilliant, they think it’s so clever. They’re like, ‘Mum, you’ve gone with the times’. They love it,” she added.

The unfolding story comes at a complex time for Price, whose public life has recently been marred by legal and financial issues, including an arrest warrant in March related to her bankruptcy proceedings. But amid the turbulence, she is pressing forward, redefining her presence in the digital age—and asserting control over her narrative.

In a media world where image and influence are tightly managed, Katie’s comments highlight an often-unspoken reality: that celebrity families are not just navigating personal dynamics but also powerful forces of brand strategy, control, and perception.
