Emily Andre is a devoted mum to the  children she shares with her singer husband Peter Andre, son Theo, seven, daughter Amelia, nine, and new baby Arabella.

The GP mum-of-three gave birth to the couple's third child in April 2024, sharing the news with fans on Instagram. Emily is also step-mum to Peter's daughter Princess, 16, and son Junior, 18, from his marriage to Katie Price.  

Emily, 34, had very different deliveries with her three children; her first birth with Amelia sounds like it was far more straightforward than Theo's arrival, while baby Arabella posed problems with her name.

Emily’s 'easy' birth with first baby Amelia

Emily and Peter welcomed their first child together in January 2014.

The I Feel You singer  took to his Twitter account to share the happy news, telling his followers: "Now that I have had the opportunity to tell Junior & Pringles, we are very happy to announce the safe arrival of our beautiful baby girl.

"We are extremely thrilled and mum and bubba are doing fine. We are looking forward to a nice quiet couple of weeks getting to know our baby. Thanks to everyone at the Musgrove Park Hospital."

Emily wowed on the red carpet in a gold dress

Emily revealed details of Amelia’s birth when she spoke to Lorraine Kelly in 2017 about wanting to expand her family, after welcoming son Theo.

Emily explained: "I'd rather not [have another Caesarean] now I know I can do it with a natural delivery, and I did it so quickly and so easily with Milly.

"I'd like to try with a natural birth next time,” she said.

Emily's unexpected Caesarean with son Theo

Emily and Peter welcomed their son Theo in November 2016, with the proud dad once again announcing the news on Twitter.

"Very, very happy for our new baby boy,” Peter posted, and later thanked well-wishers: "Thanks so much for all your lovely comments. Buzzing," he wrote.

Theo arrived early, as his due date was in December – and his parents predicted this.

"I had to go to hospital two weeks ago because I'm having contractions already, which makes me think this baby could come early," the junior doctor told Reveal.

Theo and Amelia share a close bond

Emily later told Lorraine Kelly about her birth with Theo: "Theo was breach - I'd planned to have a natural labour but couldn't. So it was a planned Caesarean in the end, which I wasn't expecting.

"I felt disappointed, like I'd let him down, because it is more risky having a C-section than a natural birth, so I was worried for him. Obviously, I looked into all the risks - I probably ended up worrying more than I should have done."

The doctor admitted that the recovery process was harder than she’d expected, explaining: "I couldn't pick Millie up while I was recovering and it took a good six weeks to feel better."

 Emily's naming struggle with baby Arabella

Peter and Emily welcomed their third child into the world on 2 April. The couple announced their baby's arrival just a day later, sharing two candid hospital photos of the new arrival.

"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," Peter wrote on Instagram.

While Arabella's arrival appears to have been relatively straightforward, it was the naming process that proved problematic for the couple. It took the pair exactly a month to decide on a moniker for their sweet girl.
