Peter Andre and his wife Emily MacDonagh have welcomed their third child together, a beautiful baby girl.
The news of their latest arrival was shared in an emotional joint social media post.
The Instagram caption included: “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.”
They continued: “Only thing is…. She has no name yet. Help!”
Peter now has five children in total. Alongside three children (Amelia, ten, Theo, seven, and his newborn) with wife Emily, he also shares son Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16, with his ex, former glamour model and reality star Katie Price.
Many fans have shared their joy at the little one's arrival, but it was feared that not everybody would be happy about it.
Peter's son, Junior, made headlines back in 2021 when he announced he didn’t want any more siblings.
At the time, he told OK Magazine: “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.”
Naturally, people have been on tenterhooks for his reaction following the birth of his little sister.
It seems there was no need to worry, as the 18-year-old was one of the first to show his support and comment on the post, writing: “Welcome to life my beautiful little sis.”
Sister Princess shared the news to her Instagram Story and wrote: “My gorgeous little sister.”
Overjoyed new dad Peter also wrote when announcing the news: “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.
“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.”
Fans have flooded the comments with love and support.
One wrote: “I’m over the moon so happy so beautiful …. Your little girl to complete your gorgeous family.”
Another said: “What a blessing! Congratulations André Family.”
A third chimed: “Oh my goodness congratulations to you both! What beautiful pictures.”
