Family guy: Peter Andre takes Princess Tiaamiii, left, Junior, centre, and Harvey, right, out to lunch He's never made any secret of his love of being a father - so following his split from Elen Rivas, spending some quality time with his children appears to be just the tonic Peter Andre needed.
Peter, 38, is on holiday Larnaca, Cyprus, where he has a house, with his two children and stepson - and couldn't hide his delight as he took them to lunch at local cafe Viale.
The Mysterious Girl star showed what a family man he was as he pulled faces and laughed along with his children Junior, five, and Princess Tiaamii, three, and Katie Price's son Harvey, eight, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke.
Peter Tweeted on his official account: 'In beautiful Cyprus with the three musketeers. J and T playing tennis and H in pool. Barbie tonight.
'Oh and I'm playing backgammon in between the three haha.'
Absent however at the lazy lunch were his film crew, who are also out there filming Peter for his new season of Peter Andre: The Next Chapter.
Lunchtime fun: The singer larks about with his daughter as they wait for their food to arrive at the Viale cafe in CyprusThere has been some very nasty rowing between Peter and his ex-wife over having their children in the public eye after Katie suddenly decided she wouldn't feature them in her reality TV show.
She'd previously used them to promote a number of her businesses including her equestrian range, but decided in November she wanted to withdraw them from the public eye.
She said at the time:'Junior and Princess won't be in any of my shows or any photo shoots again.
Relaxed: The star looked tanned and happy as he arrived at the eaterie with his children and a friend who held Harvey's hand 
Doggy bags: It looked like Junior and Princess Tiaamii took home some goodies for later 'I want to withdraw them from the public eye as I want them to have as normal a childhood as possible and want them to choose what they want.'
She had sniped that the children were still being featured on Pete's reality show, and the spat between them escalated in February when Peter got the lawyers in after Princess burned herself while on a skiing holiday with Katie in Switzerland.
He blasted her for not telling him she'd been injured, but Katie hit back by accusing Peter of 'shamefully' using their children to get publicity.
