Peter Andre has thrown his support behind 20-year-old son Junior after the youngster shared a cryptic statement in the wake of his parents' reignited feud.
Mr Andre, 52, shares his son as well as daughter Princess, 18, with ex-wife Katie Price. The couple split back in 2009 but have recently been making headlines over their very public digs at each other.
Mysterious Girl hitmaker Mr Andre recently responded to his son's social media statement from last week, seemingly beaming with pride over his first-born.
The post came amid Mr Andre and Ms Price's public row, with the former glamour model hitting out at her ex-husband's management The CAN Group, claiming she was "banned" from taking part in Princess' recent documentary, The Princess Diaries.

He penned: "I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family," before clarifying his version of events.
While Junior hasn't yet commented on the feud, Princess shared a response on Snapchat when probed about her parents' awkward dynamic.
"To be honest it doesn't affect me," the teenager commented. "At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together."
Last week, Junior shared a mysterious statement of his own though, writing on social media: "Sometimes the most quiet seasons are the most powerful ones.
"I've been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven't seen yet.
"I think about you all more than you know.... and when the times right, you'll understand why I've been so lowkey.
"My time is coming and when it does, we're all going up together."
Now, Mr Andre addressed the post in his column for OK!, stating: "For those who saw Junior's post on his socials, he said, the 'quiet seasons are the most powerful ones,' and I know he means it.
"After music success, he stepped back – to be a real teenager, really.
"Plus, he moved in with his girlfriend and has just been enjoying life. Knowing J, he'll show the world what he's got. He's a talented songwriter.
"As his dad, of course I'll always offer work advice, but he does his own thing and I love that. He will do things in his own time."
Katie Price and Peter Andre have reignited their feud

That ends today.
"The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
"For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
"In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.

Peter Andre issued a candid statement about his ex-wife Katie Price

"She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.
"Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months."
In response to this, a spokesperson for Ms Price told The Mirror: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands.
"Kate will no longer be gaslight [sic] and bullied as she once was."
