Peter Andre and wife Emily issue key 5-word statement about family
by Shelley Spadoni, Oscar Fisher · NottinghamshireLivePeter Andre and his wife Emily are doting parents to their children - eight-month-old Arabella, Millie, 10, and Theo, eight, as well as Peter's two children from his previous marriage, Princess, 17, and Junior, 19. The couple, who will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary next year, clearly cherish their parenting journey.
As they revealed to OK!, they enjoy nothing more than a family movie night on the sofa. However, with little Arabella turning one in April, have they considered expanding their brood? Their response is unequivocal.
"Hell no! This is it," declares Peter, feigning shock, before adding with a chuckle, "I always said I'd never be 50 and changing nappies, and yet here I am. But I'm done – we both are.." Emily, a mother of three, is just as resolute.
Despite enjoying her maternity leave with baby Belle, she insists, "That's a categorical no from me! I love them all so much, but I already feel I don't have enough time for each one individually. I'm getting rid of baby things now. That's how I know I'm done – I didn't do that after having Theo.
"Facebook Marketplace is my friend." It appears the couple are already envisioning a future where their children are grown up and they can embark on adventures together, just the two of them.
Peter shares: " Ems and I have talked and we want to travel a bit when the kids get older – and maybe one of our children will give us grandchildren. We're happy." Despite previously stating he didn't want to be changing nappies in his fifties, Peter Andre, now 51, is embracing fatherhood once again. He and wife Emily are cherishing every moment of their newborn Arabella's first year.
The couple shared that their children have formed close bonds with the baby. "They're all very close, but Bista [Princess] is super close with Millie and really helpful with the baby, while Junior has a lovely connection with Theo", says Peter.
"Ems and I aren't "party parents" – we love being at home, cooking and hanging out with the kids. I'm more driven than ever with work, but I feel parent guilt like never before. Then I think, I'm doing this for their future as well, and I feel better again!"
And Emily clearly adores how much the youngest two still fuss over their baby sister, adding: "Emily also expressed her delight at how much the youngest two still fuss over their baby sister, adding: "I thought the novelty would wear off with Millie and Theo, but it hasn't. They fight over who can hold Belle. Their little faces when I pick them up from school with her... It's another thing to argue over! It's very cute."
