Five clues that Peter Andre and wife Emily were having third baby – from dropping pregnancy hints to clever Insta tricks
PETER Andre announced this morning that he’s set to become a dad for the fifth time.
Former pop star Peter, 50, revealed his wife Emily MacDonagh, 34, is expecting their third child together.
He said: “We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024. The kids are so excited. So are we.”
Sharing a snap on Instagram, Emily stood behind Peter holding up their baby scans.
The couple already share Amelia, nine, and six-year-old Theo together, who they keep out of the public eye.
But it seems they dropped some clever clues ahead of the announcement – from clever Insta tricks to interview hints.
Swerving seafood
During her August birthday dinner, Emily didn’t appear to have any prawns for her starter, despite it being listed on the menu.
She skipped the camera skips past her plate, panning in on her family’s grub.
Baby throwbacks
All the way back in June, Emily shared a gorgeous snap cradling one of her two children, Amelia, 10, and Theo, six, as a baby.
She wrote on Instagram, “Happy Father’s Day to the loveliest dad I could have hoped for my kids, and to my own amazing dad of course [heart] also to all the dads out there, have a great day! Xx.”
Emily also shared an old baby pic during Maternal Mental Health Awareness week in May.
Hiding the bump
While the NHS doctor has been keeping fans abreast of her every move, she hasn’t posted a full length picture since July.
Emily posed with her back to the camera during a recent Bristol getaway, after hiding her bump behind Peter’s shoulder in a selfie.
The last time she failed to hide her tummy was on July 8, during a visit to Hampton Court Palace.
Their ‘dream’ number
Last October, Emily revealed she’s always wanted three kids and that Pete had been hoping for five.
Since Peter also has two older children – Junior, 18, and Princess, 16 – with his ex-wife Katie Price, one more would complete their ‘dream number’.
She said in an interview with Hello! that, if she were to fall pregnant again, it would be planned.
Peter’s hints
Speaking on Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To podcast in July, Peter teased: “Children… I was like, when I get to 50 I’m done. And then I find myself having conversations with Em going, ‘Yeah you know, if we did have another child, where would we put Junior?’
“I can’t even believe we have those conversations and that makes me think that I just don’t know, it’s just one of those things. It’s just weird that we even have those conversations, so I don’t know.”
Doubling down on his refusal to rule out another baby, he added, “Listen, us guys can wishful think all we like, right, but it’s going to be up to her.”
