Abbey Clancy's Loving Social Media Tribute Marks Peter Crouch's 45th Birthday
Model Abbey Clancy has publicly celebrated her husband Peter Crouch as the former Stoke City and England footballer reaches his 45th birthday. Crouch, who earned 42 caps for the national team, officially entered his mid-forties on January 30, with Clancy ensuring the occasion received proper recognition across her social media platforms.
A Heartfelt Instagram Celebration
Taking to Instagram, Clancy – who herself celebrated a milestone 40th birthday earlier in January – shared a carousel of intimate family photographs. The images captured the retired footballer and his loved ones during various exotic overseas holidays, showcasing their family adventures together.
In her caption, Clancy wrote emotionally: 'Happy birthday to my world @crouchy we all adore you more than anything.' This public declaration of affection comes shortly after Clancy praised her 'amazing' husband for orchestrating her surprise 40th birthday celebration in Paris on January 10.
Reciprocal Birthday Gestures
Clancy was completely surprised when Crouch whisked her away to the romantic French capital, unaware that family and friends from across the globe had gathered there to celebrate her milestone. Following the Parisian celebration, Clancy told her Instagram followers how touched she was by the thoughtful gesture.
She wrote: 'What a weekend for my 40th birthday, I feel so so loved thank you to my amazing husband and my wonderful family and friends who have travelled from all over the world to surprise me in Paris, love you all.'
Behind the Scenes of Their Paris Celebration
The model's social media post included numerous photographs from her special Parisian birthday. The couple checked into the luxurious five-star Mandarin Oriental Lutetia hotel located in the capital's prestigious Saint-Germain-des-Prés district.
Among the shared images were:
- Photographs of their immaculately prepared double bed with personalised pillowcases
- Clancy's elegant evening wear displayed on a clothes rail
- Images of the model surrounded by friends and family during a celebratory dinner at a Paris restaurant
- A bathroom selfie showing Clancy wearing a striking cream dress with a thigh-high slash
Family Life and Lifestyle Changes
The mother-of-four recently opened up about making significant lifestyle changes, particularly regarding her drinking habits. Clancy admitted she had 'overdid the wine' while confined at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since decided to curb her alcohol consumption.
Describing her typical morning routine, Clancy revealed she wakes at 6:30am, begins her day with coffee while her children enjoy croissants for breakfast. She acknowledged that mornings can become 'hectic' as she ensures all four children reach school on time.
'Once all four kids are at school my day can begin,' Clancy told the Sunday Times magazine. 'I might overindulge on holiday and consume a lot of wine but then I'll be on a health kick, so I go to the gym every day.'
Daily Routines and Shared Projects
The model dedicates an hour each day to practising dressage with her horse Enzo and records their popular podcast, The Therapy Crouch, with her husband once weekly. Their collaborative podcast has become a regular feature in their shared schedule.
Clancy continued: 'If we're doing the podcast, lunch will be some chicken sandwiches from the deli. And once a week I'll meet up with a group of friends for a girly lunch of pasta and a bellini or two...'
When it comes to evening meals, Clancy typically takes charge of cooking duties. 'Dinner is always cooked by me; I made these incredible dauphinoise potatoes with steak, mushrooms and green beans last night,' she revealed.
The model added humorously: 'If I'm too tired or I'm out, Pete will either get a takeaway or make the only dish he ever cooks, which is Daddy's omelette - basically stuffed with whatever's in the fridge.'
Intimate Moments Shared Online
Among the birthday tribute photographs shared by Clancy were several particularly intimate moments:
- An image showing the couple touching tongues over a romantic dinner
- A photograph capturing them relaxing with cigars and cigarettes on a tropical beach
- Another shot featuring Clancy planting a loving kiss on her husband's cheek during a romantic cruise
These personal glimpses into their relationship demonstrate the strong bond between the celebrity couple as they celebrate this latest milestone in Crouch's life.
