BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM: Former pop star Peter Andre has expressed his openness to the idea of becoming a father for the fifth time. However, the ultimate decision lies with his wife, Emily MacDonagh. Peter and Emily already have two children together, Amelia, 9, and Theo, 6.
Peter has a daughter named Princess, 16, and a son named Junior, 18, from his previous marriage to Katie Price. He and Emily tied the knot in a grand ceremony at Mamhead House in Exeter in 2015. Speaking on 'The Secret To' podcast, he said, "Listen, us guys can wishful think all we like, right, but it's going to be up to her."
Who is Emily MacDonagh?
Born on August 16, 1989, Emily MacDonagh is 16 years younger than Peter Andre. She first grabbed headlines when it was revealed in 2012 that she was dating the renowned singer of ‘Mysterious Girl’. At the time, Emily was a medical student at Bristol University. Their love story began in 2010 when Emily's father, surgeon Ruaraidh MacDonagh, performed a kidney stone removal surgery on Peter. Two years later, their romantic relationship blossomed.
Emily, the eldest of five siblings, grew up alongside her brothers in Bridgwater, Somerset, before following in her father's footsteps to pursue a career in medicine. Upon dating Peter, Emily made an appearance on his reality show, ‘Peter Andre: My Life’, where she expressed her concerns about being accepted by Peter's family. She hoped that they would approve of her, as their opinion held great significance to both her and Peter. Fortunately, Peter's children from his previous marriage, Junior and Princess Tiaamii, instantly embraced Emily.
‘Emily is a little bit more private’
Following the commencement of their relationship, Peter decided to step back from reality television, prioritizing Emily's privacy. He stated, "Emily is a little bit more private, and I want to stick up for her and protect her." Emily was pregnant a few months after her graduation in 2013, when she was still a trainee doctor. Fans quickly caught on to the news when Peter was seen tenderly patting Emily's tummy. In his column, he joyfully announced, "We were going to keep this to ourselves a little bit longer, but as everyone's been asking, I am very happy to tell you that Emily MacDonagh and I are having a baby, and we are over the moon."
In January 2014, Peter and Emily welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Amelia. Just a few weeks later, the couple shared the exciting news of their engagement. The wedding took place in July 2015. In November 2016, they celebrated the arrival of their second child, a son named Theodore James. Occasionally, the proud parents take to social media to offer glimpses into their lives and share precious moments with their children, providing rare insights into their family dynamic.
