English musician Pete Doherty revealed on Tommy Tiernan's RTE chat show that his wife, Katia de Vidas, gave him an ultimatum to quit drugs or she would leave him. He tearfully admitted that her ultimatum was the turning point that helped him overcome his addiction.
English musician Pete Doherty tearfully credited his wife for her role in helping him come clean and give up his drug addiction s. When speaking about his previous drug problems, Pete said 'I was always a pleasure seeker, indulged myself wherever possible in most things'. He went on: 'I just developed this fascination, particularly with Opioids, I had this romanticised idea of those things. It’s hard work keeping an addiction like that going, juggling everything’.
Although he admitted to Tommy Tiernan on his RTE chat show that there is an ‘ugliness’ to it, he also told the host that he ‘saw it in a different way’. Getting emotional, when asked how he overcame his addiction, the singer said: ‘the honest answer is my wife, who gave me the ultimatum’. He continued: ‘In the end she said, ‘I can’t be with you if you do this.’” He became tearful saying this, which he acknowledged saying: ‘I’m not upset at all. I feel like I’ve just connected with something true, that I don’t really say out loud, that I did it for her’. Pete is married to his Puta Madres bandmate Katia de Vidas, and the couple share a daughter, who was born in 2023. The 45-year-old fondly spoke of his time having them on tour with him telling the host: ‘We snuggle up on the bus and it’s basically like being at home’ adding that his day is shaped around his baby: ‘if she’s safe, or if she needs changing or feeding’. The musician has two other children, his son born in 2003 with singer Lisa Moorish and a daughter with South African model Lindi Hingston who was born in 2011, although he admits that he ‘wasn’t there’ when they were growing up. Despite initially not wanting to speak about this, Pete eventually revealed: ‘I struggle with it. I’m not okay with that at all.
