Junior Andre, 20, reveals his parents' reaction to his relationship with girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, as she recalls first meeting
The 20-year-old son of Peter Andre and Katie Price has been dating Jasmine, 24, since April 2024 after the pair met through events while she was working in PR.
Speaking in a joint interview after moving in together to a flat in Surrey, the couple gave an update as they take the next big step in their relationship.
Junior told The Mirror: 'They were really happy for us and supportive. My parents were both there if we needed anything while moving, and we're still going to be going for barbecues at Dad's, or to my mum's for movie nights.'
Recalling the moment she first met Junior's parent's, Jasmine admitted: 'I was nervous but I feel like it's always nerve-wracking when you're meeting the family of the person you're dating!
'But I had met Princess before, which made it easier. It was just the nerves of wanting to make a good impression.'
Junior appeared more smitten than ever with Jasmine as the couple packed on the PDA in a string of new loved-up snaps.
The singer took to Instagram to share photos from a glamorous outing together at the weekend, both dressed to the nines for the occasion.
Junior looked positively besotted as he wrapped an arm around Jasmine and planted a kiss on her head, before the couple shared a passionate smooch.
He cut a dapper figure in a charcoal grey suit over a black turtleneck jumper and a chunky silver chain, while the pair sipped on glasses of fizz.
Meanwhile, Jasmine flaunted her incredible curves in a figure-hugging one-shouldered dress with a daring thigh-high slit, while toting a small white handbag.
Captioning the stunning shots with her boyfriend, she simple wrote: 'Yesterday' followed by champagne glass emojis and a heart.
Junior, who is following in his popstar dad's footsteps by pursuing a singing career, first revealed he had a 'secret' girlfriend in April last year, claiming he would even turn down Dua Lipa for her.
And in July they took the next step in their relationship by setting up a new joint TikTok profile to share videos of themselves together.
Like Junior, Jasmine also made appearances on reality TV, previously starring on Celebs Go Dating, where she had a short dalliance with Adam Collard and famously exposed the reality star's brutal comments towards his former flame Lottie Moss.
While she counts a number of Love Island stars as friends on Instagram including Tom Clare, Curtis Pritchard, Jack Fincham and Coco Lodge.
Junior's mother Katie, 46, also gave Jasmine her seal of approval, ahead of meeting her for the first time.
Speaking on her Katie Price Show podcast with her sister Sophie in May, she defended the couple's age gap and said she 'can't wait' to meet Jasmine.
The former glamour model gushed: 'She's so pretty! I remember watching her on Celebs Go Dating.'
Insisting she isn't worried about Jasmine being five years older, she added: 'Isn't it funny when your kids get older and they get in relationships and you meet their girlfriends and boyfriends as they're adults, she's an adult. They're not like young kids at school.'
While last month, the Mail reported that Jasmine has become the key to strengthening Katie and Junior's once-fractious relationship, with the teenager living with his dad and step-mother Emily MacDonagh in Surrey.
He is said to have started building bridges with his mother since he started dating Jasmine, with the two women now becoming almost inseparable.

Junior Andre, 19, looks more loved-up than ever as he packs on PDA with girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24
The young couple are now regular visitors to Katie's house instead of Peter's, as the pop star has stricter rules at his home and won't allow Junior or his younger sister Princess to have partners stay over.
A source close to Jasmine told the Mail: 'Jasmine is obsessed with Katie and can't believe that she's now part of the family. They have struck up quite a friendship, Jasmine has become like a daughter to Katie which is very sweet.
'They hit it off pretty much straight away. Katie sees a lot of her younger self in Jasmine and loves how she dresses. Jasmine really looks up to Katie but Katie also loves the way Jasmine does her hair and make-up, and her outfits.
'There's a real mutual obsession between the pair but the most lovely thing about it all is that it has brought Katie and Junior together and they are now much closer and see far more of one another.'
The source added that 'the way Katie lives her life' means neither Junior nor Princess, 17, have seen her much.
But they went on: 'Things have been tricky at times but now things are lovely between them. Many a young woman would be terrified of Katie but Jasmine just adores her.'
Yet, while it would seem that Jasmine has helped build bridges between mother and son, some close to the family find the whole situation rather unnerving.
'It's like they want to be each other and it's weird,' a source tells me. 'A few of their friends have noticed what's been going on but Junior is completely besotted with Jasmine.
'You only have to look at some of their recent pictures to see that Katie has been copying Jasmine's looks and vice-versa.
'After all 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' and that's exactly what the pair are doing.'

Dining across the divide: ‘She felt people had become hypersexualised – I don't think the solution is to go completely the other way'
Occupation Teacher Voting record Green in one election while at university; otherwise, has voted Labour Amuse bouche Has two children and one on the way, and plans to start a family band when they're old enough, singing close-knit harmonies of mainly 90s pop songs Occupation Student Voting record Labour in 2024 Amuse bouche Has just done hairdresser modelling – went in for a normal haircut, was asked to model, and came out blonde, with a pixie cut Jo She seemed very cool. I was worried about being early – she was even earlier than me. Ruby She came across as warm and friendly, even from the first minute. She had a nice pink dress on. Jo We had lots of very delicious small plates. Both of us are vegetarians. We had curried cauliflower and hash browns with confit egg. Ruby The egg was so good, we ordered it again. Plus watermelon and feta salad, and whipped Marmite butter and sourdough. Jo I'm very much in favour of sex before marriage. The foundations of a solid marriage are having total communication, honesty and transparency – being aligned in lots of areas, knowing that you're going to grow together. Sex is a big part of your identity, not huge, but to hold that back would be not to reveal all your colours. And, while I think people do change as couples, if your libidos are misaligned, or you have very different niche interests, these are things partners should know. People may have waited in the past and still made the marriage work, but often people just stayed together even though they were very unhappy. Ruby I totally take the point that testing out your sexual chemistry is important. I want to be careful not to misrepresent myself as a puritan in this regard. But the flip side is, if you're having sexual partners without any meaningful connection, that's not sexual exploration either, really. More meaningful sex should be sought after; that doesn't necessarily come from waiting until marriage, but we don't live in a culture that promotes sexual learning. Jo She felt that people had become hypersexualised, very focused on sex and not considering anything else. I don't think sex is such a big deal that it needs to be shut off, and I don't think the solution to a hypersexualised culture is to go completely the other way. Ruby Lots of young people suffer from a lack of freedom in the role they're expected to perform. There's a huge range of diverse attitudes to sex and equality, but the hypersexualised, Sabrina Carpenter brand of feminism is quite dominant, which is a homogenising experience for people who don't buy into it. I think it's quite a plastic form of sexual liberation. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine. Sign up to get the inside story from our top writers as well as all the must-read articles and columns, delivered to your inbox every weekend. after newsletter promotion Jo We talked about feminist sex parties, masturbation, self-awareness and pleasure. It's a gendered stereotype to suggest that girls can't enjoy sex without connection or can't enjoy sex without intimacy. And, on sex work, we didn't completely disagree – we both think it should be decriminalised and agreed that, for the majority of sex workers, it's not the first thing they'd choose if they had other options. But we have to be very careful of saying to women: 'You think you're autonomous, but you're not.' Ruby I find it hard to see how sex work is liberating. Just as pornography is through a male lens, buyers of sex are predominantly men. It relies on a world where women's sexual presentation is distorted to meet a male gaze. It fetishises white, thin women, and we know men's sexual preferences aren't described by that. I think women have a responsibility not to meet these expectations. Ruby Women do have agency to resist the expectations that are put on to us. For every woman who gets plastic surgery, it only deepens the divide and entrenches the gendered expectation. Jo She was really open to hearing about my experience of having children, and how that morphs your body in ways you're not expecting. It's not just that you put on weight, it's that it feels unrecognisable. Sometimes surgery is giving you the confidence to feel like yourself again. Ruby I thought she was lovely. She is definitely dedicated to improving education for women – I thought that was really a noble cause. Jo My last impressions ended up the same as my first – she was really smart and wise beyond her years. Additional reporting: Kitty Drake Jo and Ruby ate at Little Bat, London N1.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury look loved-up as they enjoy family getaway with daughter Bambi, two, in the Isle of Man
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a family getaway with daughter Bambi in the Isle of Man on Sunday. The boxer and the Maebe founder, both 26, who met on Love Island in 2019, split last August after five years together but have since reconciled. Molly-Mae posted sweet snaps on Instagram on Sunday of Tommy driving to the destination. The businesswoman looked happier than ever as she spent quality time with Bambi, two, and Tommy. The former Love Island star revealed she started shooting the second season of her documentary series, Behind It All, last month. The Prime Video series saw the influencer give fans a glimpse into her life, from running her clothing brand to parenting Bambi. MailOnline revealed last month that the boxer still won't appear on her docuseries, despite the couple being back together. It was previously confirmed that Tommy is unable to show his face on the Prime Video series due to his contractual agreements with the BBC as he films documentary The Good, The Bad, The Fury, set for release later this year. Molly-Mae confirmed Behind It All would return for a second season last month, after the first became a viral hit at the start of the year. Writing on Instagram, she gushed: 'My mood because it's filming day ONE for SEASON 2!!! 'I can't believe I'm saying this but because of all of your love and support with 'Molly-Mae: Behind It All'… we are coming BACK with another season! Pinch me.' A TV source explained to MailOnline that the second series will be less 'relationship focused' as Molly continues to build her 'business empire' and navigate family dilemmas with mother Deborah and sister Zoe. An insider said: 'Molly-Mae was over the moon that Behind It All was so well received and popular among her fanbase, she's more than happy to continue sharing more personal aspects of her life with the cameras. 'This season will be as jam-packed as the last, with Molly testing living arrangements, taking on challenges, and making some life altering decisions, all while managing her business ventures. Molly confirmed Behind It All would return for a second season last month, after the first became a viral hit at the start of the year 'Viewers shouldn't expect to see Tommy on the show because he still won't appear even though him and Molly are very much together now.' The debut six-part docuseries became the streamer's most watched show on Prime Video by young women aged 18-34. It followed Molly-Mae as she navigated her public breakup from Tommy, who later revealed the reason for their split was because he had been struggling with alcohol addiction. It also tracked the launch of Maebe, Molly-Mae's first fashion brand, and her complicated relationship with sister Zoe, who felt protective over the YouTuber getting back with Tommy before they had properly worked through their issues.

James Martin protects himself against London crime as he takes his protection dog into capital after yobs smashed his car windscreen
James Martin has revealed he took his protection dog with him during a recent visit to the capital after growing fearful of London crime. The famous chef, 53, had his rear car windscreen smashed in broad daylight earlier this year - and he is now taking extra measures to protect himself. He also shared how other friends have been targeted there too. On Instagram, James posted a photo of his dog - a Belgian Malinois - wearing a 'working dog' harness. The ITV star simply wrote: 'London' alongside the photo. In May, James insisted the next time he visits the city, he would bring his dog in aid to protect him. He shared on social media: 'So in a week two of my friends cars got stolen, one other mate got mugged and now I had this happen all in broad daylight all in central London. 'London is broken big time… next time I'm bringing the Malis.' He was referring to his two pet dogs, who are Belgian Malinoises. James previously gushed about his beloved animals in a post in 2022, when he said: 'I have to say I have had dogs all my life but these two are unbelievably clever. Thanks to the trainer for doing all the work.' Martin is a car hothead with an extensive collection of vintage vehicles alongside newer models too. The quaint car village is housed in pretty hand-painted garages, which he showed off during a 2022 appearance on Jodie Kidd's show, Kidd in a Sweet Shop. It is thought he first fell in love with motors when he was given a toy Ferrari 288 GTO as a young boy. Martin now owns a real Ferrari, the 275 model from 1965 in silver, which underwent a a huge restoration, which included the installation of a new engine. Elsewhere in his collection is a beautiful Ford GT40 which he partnered alongside three-time British Touring Car champion Jason Plato. James also confessed earlier this year that he has some 'serious' worries as he turns his focus from TV to his UK tour. He revealed that he had concerns about not meeting people's expectation and putting on a 'rubbish' performance. As he listed some of the more 'serious' venues, which included Birmingham Symphony Hall, Newcastle 02, and Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, James explained that his sets will be most fast paced an comedy-centered. He told the publication: 'People think the live shows are going to be like my Saturday morning show, but it's really not - it's fast-paced, fun comedy, made by a great team and it is really cool.' But he did admit that having his parents in the audience does sooth his nerves when he has to perform in front of such huge crowds.
