Peter Andre would feel uncomfortable if he wasn't "footing the bill" for a date.
The 53-year-old star - who married wife Emily in 2015 - has insisted he has "always" bought into the idea of "chivalry", and he'd rather be the one paying for a meal out.
Writing in his column for new! magazine, he said: "I've always been on for chivalry. I just wouldn't feel comfortable not footing the bill on a date.
"Nothing wrong with it though, if that's what you both want - but that's just me!"
Peter insisted it's not always about appearing chivalrous either, as he claimed he gets a genuine buzz out of being the one to pay.
He added: "It's not even just about chivalry, I get a real joy out of it."
Meanwhile, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker recently opened up about the crush he used to have on Halle Berry.
He told new! magazine: "I remember the 1997 World Music Awards because I won Best Australian Artist, and on the front row were Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Lionel Richie, Prince Albert of Monaco, the Bee Gees.
"Halle Berry was there, too. She's gorgeous and I really fancied her, but no one beats my Emily.
"No one even comes close."
Peter and Emily have Amelia, 12, Theo, nine, and two-year-old Arabella together, while Peter is also father to Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, from his marriage to ex Katie Price, 47.
Despite the two former flames clashing over the years, earlier in 2026 they promised to put their kids first and "move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect".
Peter explained: "It's actually great. And unbeknownst to a lot of people, over the last 15, 16 years, it has been OK before this.
"The kids are grown up and it's nice that everyone moves forward. It's just all positive and it's lovely. That's how life should be."
