Abbey Clancy Peter Crouch were pictured locking lips on Saturday in an affectionate Instagram snap as the couple jetted away for a half-term break, with Abbey, 40, slipping into a skimpy black bikini on the beach.
The model also posted a black and white clip showing herself in a revealing black string two-piece enjoying the warm weather, while the pair previously announced they intended to attempt a booze-free half-term to set an example for their family.
Dry half-term pledge and a playful wager
The pair revealed plans to go alcohol-free during the children’s break and even joked about betting on who would cave first. Abbey said: ‘We’re doing a dry half term as well so we’ll see how long that lasts,’ before Peter added: ‘Good luck with that, but we’ll try.’
Peter continued the banter by admitting his doubts, telling Abbey: ‘I’ll be honest with you, I’m not very hopeful, do you actually wanna try and do that?’ Speaking on the latest episode of their podcast The Therapy Crouch, Abbey said: ‘I do yeah!’ and committed to going dry for ‘the whole half-term’.
They sealed the pact in typical fashion. Shaking hands, Peter said: ‘Will you try and do that with me? We’ll shake on it, and we’ll give some money to charity. One of us.’ Abbey reinforced the health motive, adding: ‘When I was living there in Portugal, I was up 5k walks every day with the dogs. Go in the gym. Beautiful fresh food. It’s just good for your body. Like, we’re getting older now. We need to.’
Peter also highlighted benefits for the children, saying: ‘It will be better for the children as well, even that couple of glasses of wine at dinner, that mild headache in the mornings, there’s no need for it. I think you’d be better all round.’
Family life, past excesses and a new documentary
The pair share four children: Sophia Ruby, 17, Liberty Rose, 11, Johnny, eight, and Jack, seven. Abbey has previously spoken about turning to alcohol during the Covid pandemic and how it affected her: Speaking in a Q&A, she said: ‘There’s been far too much alcohol consumed so I feel like I’ve aged about ten years in this lockdown.’
Earlier in August the couple recorded a wine-tasting episode for their podcast and admitted they were ‘trollied’ by the end of filming, another sign of how much their drinking habits have featured in public conversations about them.
Meanwhile, the pair are also preparing to bring viewers into their home life with a forthcoming Prime Video docuseries called The Crouches, due to launch on Prime Video in 2027. The series will follow renovations that begin after they leave their current property, a bespoke build that they designed from scratch and which they had listed for around £3million, and will cover big birthdays, weddings, shifting priorities and their children starting to fly the nest.
As part of that move, the show chronicles their plan to leave the house that includes 8ft tall doors created to suit Peter’s height. With an offer already accepted on the property, a move-out date is said to be imminent, and the timing presents a challenge: Peter is due to set off to the World Cup while Abbey handles the family, the pets and an active building site.
Now that Abbey has reached 40 she has said the distribution of roles in the household must change after years of sacrifices made for Pete’s football career and she is determined to prioritise her own goals. The Crouches is promised as an unvarnished portrayal of family life and the couple have hinted at some awkward or cringe-worthy moments captured on camera.
Peter previewed the tone and scope of the new series himself, saying of the upcoming series: ‘We’re so excited about our new series with Prime Video. I absolutely loved making That Peter Crouch Film, so much so that this time I’ve somehow managed to drag Abbey and the whole family into it! ‘It’s a bit scary as it’s warts and all, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy laughing with us (probably at us). There will be a lot of chaos and probably a few moments we’ll regret letting the cameras see, some ups and some downs, but it will be us. ‘Our life should be lovely, calm and simple… it is not. Watch out Kardashians we are coming for you.’
As they combine family responsibilities with media projects and home renovation, Abbey Clancy Peter Crouch continue to present a very public picture of their private life, balancing playful PDA, lifestyle pledges and a reality-style series that promises both humour and honesty.
