‘we’re overwhelmed and just so happy’

FAMILY TIES

As Peter Andre and Emily MacDonagh gaze down at their newest bundle of joy, it’s clear to see they are in a blissful baby bubble. Despite telling OK! he “didn’t want to be changing nappies after 50”, the singer and his wife are now parents to a beautiful baby girl, born a few weeks after his 51st birthday.

Emily, 34, and Peter – who tied the knot in 2015 – announced back in October they were expecting another baby, and now it looks like they can hardly believe their little girl is finally here.

Peter posted a picture of Emily with the new arrival. “Just minutes old… We feel so overwhelmed right now. So happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family,” Peter gushed, after nine months of keeping the gender of their baby a surprise.

The couple, who are already parents to daughter Amelia, 10, and seven-year-old son Theo – while Peter is also dad to son Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16 – welcomed their newborn into the world last Tuesday.

When OK! gets a preview of pictures of the precious tot, she is nestled in her parents’ loving arms and falling asleep.

“Mum and daughter are doing amazing. Born Tuesday 2nd April 2024, 7lb 3oz and thankfully very healthy,” the singer said.

“Baby has been spoilt with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo, who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn’t be happier.

“Thanks to all the doctors, midwives and staff at Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton. You were incredible. And Emily’s parents, whom I adore. You have both been incredible.”

Ahead of the baby’s arrival, Peter revealed that his older kids couldn’t wait to welcome another sibling into the family. He told OK!, “The kids are so excited. Junior says he’s going to love this baby like it’s his own, so he’ll definitely be on babysitting duties!”

The star also described Princess as “very maternal” and “hands on”.

With that in mind, it was only to be expected that Princess and Junior would be among the first to congratulate Pete and Emily on social media.

As she became a big sister for the fifth time, model and influencer Princess wrote, “My gorgeous little sister!”

Meanwhile, her brother Junior proudly said, “Welcome to life my beau
