Peter Andre has shared a touching insight into his new family life after welcoming his second daughter with wife Emily — and he admits their little girl has changed everything.
The loved-up couple welcomed Arabella Rose into the world back in April, marking a new chapter for the family.
Already parents to Theo, seven, and Amelia, nine, Peter, 51, and Emily, 35, are also raising Peter’s older children Junior and Princess from his previous marriage to Katie Price.
Speaking exclusively to reporters at the Pride of Britain Awards, Peter couldn’t hide his emotion as he talked about his six-month-old daughter.
“It’s taken a lot to get her out,” before Emily laughed:
“I had a bit of a wobble, but we’re fine!”
Asked how they are coping with life as a family of five, Emily explained:
“It’s a juggle — but we’ve got helping hands,” pointing to Junior and Princess, who have both thrown themselves into big-sister and big-brother duties.
A Dancing Star in the Making?
Peter also hinted that baby Arabella might already be following in the family’s musical footsteps.
“She is dancing — she loves dancing at the minute,” he smiled.
“She could potentially become one of Diversity… you never know. The next generation.”
The Andre clan made a rare red-carpet appearance together at the awards, marking one of their first public outings since Arabella’s arrival. v
The Emotional Birth Announcement
Peter and Emily first shared the joyful news of Arabella’s birth on Instagram in April.
He wrote:
“Just minutes old…
We feel so overwhelmed right now. So happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family.
Mum and daughter are doing amazing. Born Tuesday 2nd April 2024, 7lb 3oz and thankfully very healthy.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.”
Why Peter Rarely Uses Her Name
While the couple chose the elegant name Arabella, Peter later admitted he doesn’t actually call her that very often.
Writing in his column for new! magazine, he shared:
“Arabella is now seven weeks old — where has the time gone?
I still haven’t called Arabella by her name. I absolutely love it and she really suits it — but I still call her ‘bubba’.”
With Arabella now firmly settling into family life, Peter says he has never felt more complete — surrounded by love, laughter and the joyful chaos of raising five children.
