Peter Andre welcomed his daughter to the world with a touching Instagram post on Wednesday featuring his wife Emily Andre holding the newborn when she was just “minutes old”.

Andre’s son Junior, 18, didn’t take long to fall in love with his little sister either as he shared a sweet message in response to the post - despite previously airing concerns about becoming a big brother once again.


Andre shares Junior, along with younger sister Princess, 16, with ex-wife Katie Price, and has Amelia, 10 and Theo, six with Emily.

Teenager Junior also has other half-siblings from Price's relationships, including Harvey, 21, Jett, 10 and Bunny, nine.

As his dad, 51, shared the snap of his youngest - who is yet to be named - on social media, Junior was quick to express his adoration.

“Welcome to life my beautiful little sis,” the teenager penned, while Princess shared a photo to her own account along with the caption: “My gorgeous little sister.”

The older teenager’s sweet comment on his dad’s social media post comes after he admitted a couple of years ago he wouldn’t want anymore siblings due to the significant age gap it would create.

Speaking to OK Magazine in 2021, he expressed his worries, explaining: “I think the age gap would be too big.

“If Emily got pregnant now that means the baby would be born when I'm almost 17 and I don't think the same strong bond would be there.

“I'll be close to moving out of the house. I want to be the big brother they love so much and not someone they hardly ever see. I also have six siblings already so there are quite a few of us.”

Nonetheless, the Mysterious Girl singer pointed out all his children are “in love” with their new sister.

Taking to Instagram the day after his daughter’s birth, the singer shared two photos of the newborn, one with Emily, 34, and one with himself staring lovingly at the tiny baby wrapped in white.

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.

“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.”
