Emily and Peter share two children between them, Amelia and Theo, while Andre is also dad to Princess and Junior from his previous marriage to Katie Price.
Emily MacDonagh is a 34-year-old NHS doctor, who started dating the singer back in 2012.
Katie and Peter met on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, but at the time of their split, he spoke out to the Daily Star after Katie whisked their kids away to the Maldives without him.
He said: “Being apart from my kids is just breaking my heart.

“It's destroying me - I'm absolutely gutted."
Four and a half years into their marriage, the pair called it quits, and the argument that broke them was aired on their reality show at the time.
Talking to the cameras, Peter said: “I get it all the time on and off – but I love that girl.
“I love her incredibly but when I hate her, I hate her.

“Hate's a bad word – when I'm not happy, I'm very not happy.
"Me and Kate were going through so much s*** last year.
“People knew we were arguing all the time.

“All this speculation about us and it made us argue more, it was a really, really bad time."
Peter stayed pretty quiet while their divorce unfolded, but Katie was married a year later to cage fighter Alex Reid.
Following their split in 2012, she then married Kieran Hayler in 2013.
One thing we know about Katie is that she does not mess around when it comes to getting married!

In 2021, after marrying three times, she was engaged again to Love Islander Carl Woods, who appeared on the second series of the show in 2016.
The pair split after 10 months, but recent pictures of them together suggests that their romance may be back on the cards.
However, it’s not all sunshine and roses for the family.
As eagle-eyed fans have spotted that Princess and Junior have both unfollowed Carl on Instagram.
