Peter Andre’s wife Dr Emily MacDonagh has revealed the pair do not plan to have anymore children. Peter and Emily share three kids together – Amelia, Theo and Arabella – and she is also stepmother to Peter’s eldest children, Princess and Junior.
However, Emily has now revealed her family won’t grown any further as she doesn’t plan to have any more kids. Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, Happy Mum Happy Baby, she opened up about her difficult third pregnancy and birth and said there was no chance of her and Peter having any more children.
Asked if there’s a chance of them having anymore kids, she said: “It’s absolutely cemented now but we always said it would be the last anyway. We don’t have anymore bedrooms for starters so that’s a good enough reason.
“The car is full. We don’t even have a seven seater anymore because Junior and Princess can drive.”

Discussing the family dynamic, she said: “They have a lovely relationship together. Even though the older two have their own lives, so they’re busy and doing their own thing, when they see the younger kids, and they’re so sweet and they get the biggest hugs.
“The age gap is so big that it makes it easier because they’re not in competition with each other. Like the younger ones understand that there’s a different set of rules for the older ones because they’re grown ups.”
Elsewhere, Emily opened up about her bond with Princess and Junior and how important that is to her.
“I always feel lucky that they’ve kind of accepted me into their family. And I think then, when we had Millie and Theo – and Belle as well – it kind of cements you even more as a family. But I always feel like, you know, I’m not their mum, and that’s something I always have to make sure I tread carefully with. I always see it, I think I would see it a bit more like being a big sister,” she said.
“Which, I don’t know if that’s the right way to look at it, but I think, you know, I always try and give them guidance, but I wouldn’t overstep that. Like, I obviously try and support them like I would do with my own kids. I always try and be the same. I’m quite strict though, on my kids. That’s what I would say to the older kids – it’s lucky there’s an age gap, you know?”
She added: “Because then you guys don’t need to worry about, like, silly rules I have. I’m like, you guys can be exempt because you’re older. The age gap is enough that my kids don’t ask the question, ‘Why are they allowed to have the screens?'”
