Peter Andre appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Loose Women, where he spoke about his family
Peter Andre made a candid family admission during an interview on Wednesday’s Loose Women.
The Mysterious Girl singer, 51, has five children. He shares three children; 10-year-old Amelia, eight-year-old Theo, and nine-month-old Arabella with doctor wife Emily. Peter also has two kids from his previous marriage to Katie Price – Junior, 19, and Princess, 17.
Talking about being an older dad after welcoming baby daughter Arabella in his early 50s, Peter admitted: “It is interesting. I was always like: ‘Never am I having kids when I get to 50, that’s it’ and I said it would all have to happen before.

“Here I am at 51 doing exactly what I said wasn’t going to happen. I actually think it’s been a real moment for me as I’ve spent a lot of time bonding this time. I said to my manager, I’ve been with her for 30 years, I just want six months to really bond and those six months were incredible as I think I’ve given more probably than I did with my others at that age, which I regret in a way. Maybe it took all that to get to this point.”
Panellist, Judi Love, then said: “Having your beautiful children, you’ve decided though it’s your last baby!” to which Peter admitted: “It’s difficult for a guy sometimes, it’s very difficult for a mum, what’s difficult for the guy is when your wife says: ‘Shall we try for a baby’.
“You’re not thinking, at that moment, you’re not thinking a baby is actually going to happen. You’re thinking more about the trying for a baby, your brain’s not and then all of a sudden… it’s a silly way to say it but it happens so quick” before cheekily adding: “Not that quick!”

“I was like: ‘This is it!’ but actually as long as she feels ‘this is it’ and she does, she absolutely feels ‘this is it’ so I said: ‘Shall I make it permanent?’ but then I thought if I get that, my voice is going to go” to which he started speaking in a very high pitched voice. Peter confessed: “I was so petrified so I backed out!”
Peter and Emily announced the birth of Arabella in April
Host, Charlene White, then interjected with: “At this point, I have to do my job, and say if you are concerned about the things Pete has just said. It’s probably best that you do your own research into this and having a vasectomy!” to which the audience laughed.
Peter and Emily announced the birth of Arabella in April, writing at the time: “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.”
