Peter Andre’s wife Emily gives birth to third child – and reveals baby’s gender for first time

PETER Andre’s wife Emily has given birth to their third child.

Singer Pete, 51, took to Instagram to announce their happy news today – sharing the first picture of their baby girl.

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker 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.”

He added: “Only thing is…. She has no name yet. Help !

“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.

“I’m so happy. Just off to hold her. Thanks everyone for reading.”

Emily, 34, and Pete are already parents to Amelia, nine, and eight-year-old Theo.

Pete has two older children – Junior, 18, and Princess, 16 – who he shares with first wife Katie Price.

Just this week Pete revealed they were struggling for a name, writing in his new magazine column:   “I was reading about a few baby names that are apparently on the brink of ‘extinction’, and it looks like the most endangered in 2024 is Keanu for a boy and Flo, a shortened version of Florence, for a girl.

“I really like Keanu. It’s crazy to think names could be wiped out. Maybe this will give us some inspiration, but we have no idea what we’ll call the baby.”

He added: “Millie didn’t get her name for the first six weeks of her life, as we started with Rose before settling on Millie.”

Fans had been busy speculating about the sex of Emily and Pete’s baby in recent weeks – and many will be delighted to know they guessed it right.

Emily showed off her baby bump in a video capturing her experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions earlier this month.

After seeing the shape of her bump, one person remarked: “You look amazing I predict a girl,” as a second put: “She’s having a girl.”

Pete previously said he didn’t want to be changing nappies past 50, but then revealed in October that they were adding to their brood.

But he later opened up about becoming a dad for the fifth time, saying: “That will be the ultimate gift. Having another baby actually makes me want to work even harder and has given me a new lease of life.”

Emily didn’t have the easiest start to her pregnancy and was rushed to hospital on a couple of occasion amid fears for the baby.

Pete previously said: “It’s been an emotional roller coaster for Emily but she never complains, she just gets on with it.

“There’ve been a couple of accident and emergency stops along the way.

“I was due to go on stage in Grease in the West End and I got a call saying, ‘Emily’s been rushed to A&E.’

“It was really worrying and obviously I immediately went to support her, but thankfully everything was OK.”
