What has Peter Andre's wife Emily Andre said about having a fifth baby?
In 2022, Emily caught up with HELLO! and revealed that she has always wanted three kids, while Peter has always wanted five – meaning if they added another member to their family, they'd both reach their respective dream numbers of little ones.

While Emily has always hoped for three kids, it's unlikely that she'll be rocking a baby bump any time soon, however, as she explained that both she and Peter are "on the fence" about adding to the family just yet. Emily said she feels like she's "nailing life" at the moment, with her career and her family, so wonders if a third child would "upset the applecart."

What have Peter Andre and Emily Andre said about parenting?
In 2016, the couple told HELLO! That their approach to parenting is similar, although "Pete is probably a bit stricter than I am," said Emily. "But he's also so much fun. He's nowhere near as strict as his dad or my dad, but he's got his definite rules and the kids are so, so good."

Emily and Peter have also spoken about limiting their children's time on social media. "One of the things Emily and I are adamant about is no phones at the dinner table," Peter said in 2017. "That time is when we sit and talk as a family. We talk about anything – it could be about what Millie did at school that day, or what Princess has got coming up, but it's that quality time that is so important to us."
