Peter Crouch has offered a glimpse into his marriage with Abbey Clancy, revealing that their personal lives can sometimes spill over into their podcasting. Almost two decades have passed since Peter and Abbey first met after he completed a move to Liverpool in the summer of 2005.
Their unexpected meeting one evening while Abbey was working as a waitress sparked a romance, leading to them tying the knot in a lavish ceremony in Leicestershire in 2011.
Now settled into family life with four children, Peter and Abbey openly tackle the crossover of their personal and professional lives through their joint podcast, The Therapy Crouch.
In the most recent episode of the popular show, the pair invited golfing great Lee Westwood and his partner, Helen, to chat.

They first met in 2006, shortly after he had signed for Liverpool
A candid conversation unfolded about whether household disputes ever escalate into full-blown rows.
The Westwoods assured listeners that they maintained a steady ship, but Abbey and Peter didn't shy away from baring all about their own dynamic, with Abbey confessing: "When Pete and I have a row, and we have to do this pod because it comes out weekly, we have to do it and we're literally not talking to each other — it's really difficult."

The couple shared how they make sure their home life doesn't get in the way of their podcast
Meanwhile, Peter disclosed that they'd even had an argument just before hitting record on that day's podcast episode, sharing with listeners: "We had an argument before the podcast this morning, and it is difficult to navigate."
In a separate recent episode, Peter declared his intention to address their bedtime problem, saying: "It's got to stop — I'm going to put an end to that tonight," as he expressed frustration over their pet cat's nightly ritual of sprawling out on the pillow.
