Together, the duo share two other children, Amelia, 11, and eight-year-old Theo.
Peter, 52, also shares two kids, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with ex-wife Katie Price.
But now, on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher, Emily has discussed plans for more children, and why it won't be on the cards for them.
She said: 'It's absolutely cemented now.
"We always said it would be the last anyway. Five's enough, we don't have any more bedrooms in the house for starters."
And there's a reason behind this decision, after a traumatic birth with baby Arabella.
Emily explained: "I had weird complications all the way through. She was breech. I've had two breech babies.
'She nearly made it to 38 weeks, and I haven't really spoken about her birth and what happened afterwards because it was so hard and awful. It was tough. I was really unwell after she was born, there was quite a lot of complications.
'So I had to go back for emergency surgery. She was a week old. I had to kind of hand her over and go in for another operation.'
Peter Andre reveals heartbreaking reason he and Emily won't have any more kids
Emily went on to explain that she'd developed a really rare type of hernia that was quite large.
She went on: 'All the consultants I've seen have said 'we've never seen this in our whole career.'
'Basically part of my bowels were kind of in the wrong place. And the type of hernia that it was can strangulate quite easily and that ends up being an emergency.
'I knew things weren't right after she was born because I had a big, huge lump in my tummy sticking out.
'They got me back after a week to follow it up. The surgeon looked and said 'you need to come into hospital now'.
'They scanned and they could see it was my bowels that had come out basically.
'I was breastfeeding so I thought 'My God, I'm going to have to express milk'. So they let me go home and I could do all of that."
Emily explained how she felt before going off for the hernia surgery, adding: 'Going off to theatre was the worst, like handing her (Arabella) over to my mum. I was a right mess.
"There was one thing that made me smile. I got into theatre, I was lying on the table. The porter that got me across was so lovely. He said 'You know, I brought Pete here into this theatre'.
"The way Pete and I met was my dad operated on him. We were then friends for years. He said 'This was exactly where he lay and this is the room where he met your dad'. It was just something that took my mind off it.
"Then the recovery from that was quite awful. I was in hospital for probably two or three days and then the recovery was really, really slow.
"They had to do quite a lot of stitching things up and moving things around so the pain was quite bad."
Emily said it's taken over a year for her to almost recover fully.
She said: "I feel like I'm pretty much back to health now.
"Pete was amazing, my mum and dad were amazing. I can't thank the doctors enough who looked after me, and the nurses, and the midwives were absolutely amazing."
Asked what caused the hernia, Emily said: "They don't know. There was some kind of defect in the muscle in my tummy quite high up. Whether it was caused from the previous C-section, or whether it just happened in the pregnancy, they don't really know.
"It required quite a lot of follow up afterwards as well. Everyone I've seen was like 'I've never heard of that before'."
But Emily still said the psychological moment of passing on Arabella after a week was the worst part for her.
"It was the handing her over, that was the worst part of it."

Fearne Cotton's ex Jesse Wood can't wipe the smile off his face as he enjoys romantic stroll with Made in Chelsea star girlfriend Gemma Gregory - after the presenter moved on with Rivals director
Fearne Cotton 's estranged husband Jesse Wood looked happier than ever on a romantic stroll with girlfriend Gemma Gregory in West London this week. The musician, 48, who went public with the former Made in Chelsea star, 39, in April, could not wipe the smile off his face while making his way through the capital. Jesse, who shares son Rex, 12, and daughter Honey, nine, with ex Fearne, cut a casual figure on the outing in a black bomber jacket and khaki trousers. He layered the low-key look over a simple T-shirt while slipping his feet into comfy Adidas trainers and shared a giggle with the stunner. Meanwhile Gemma, who appeared on the London-based reality TV series in 2011 and 2012, put on a very leggy display in a white broderie anglaise mini dress. The blonde beauty added extra height to her frame with a pair of colourful wedges while accessorising with a gold necklace and statement cuff. Gemma recently posted several loved-up pictures to Instagram, showing her and Jesse looking cosy as they cuddled and joked around during various days out. The London-born actress and former model captioned the post: 'Love is the frequency of magic', followed by star and red heart emojis. One friend commented, 'Gem you look so happy, glad you found a person who makes you happy.' Another said, 'You look so happy.' Insiders say the relationship is progressing quickly - and it looks to be far more than a casual rebound following the shock collapse of Jesse's decade-long marriage. 'It's getting serious now. Jesse and Gemma are spending loads of time together and things are clearly going well,' a source close to the pair told Daily Mail. 'He's been through a rough patch emotionally, but Gemma's really lifted him. They've got chemistry and a lot in common - she makes him laugh, and he feels relaxed around her. It's definitely more than a fling.' Gemma, who has a son, Benji, from a previous relationship, is no stranger to the spotlight. She played young Estella in the 1999 adaptation of Great Expectations, and briefly appeared in Made in Chelsea thanks to her long-time friendship with Hugo Taylor. It come after Fearne, 43, issued a shock statement to announce her split from Jesse after 10 years of marriage back in December, saying their priority was their children. The blonde beauty added extra height to her frame with a pair of colourful wedges while accessorising with a gold necklace and statement cuff Insiders say the relationship is progressing quickly - and it looks to be far more than a casual rebound following the shock collapse of Jesse's decade-long marriage Fearne has now moved on with Rivals director Elliot Hegarty, 53, with the pair first being spotted kissing passionately during a night out in Soho in February (pictured last month) The presenter has now moved on with Rivals director Elliot Hegarty, 53, with the pair first being spotted kissing passionately during a night out in Soho in February. And with the TV director now spotted sporting a fresh peroxide blond makeover to match broadcaster Fearne's golden locks, the kissing drama that exposed their relationship seemed to be a world away. At the time, both had split from their partners just weeks earlier and Elliot's devastated wife Laura was said to have only known the pair were dating when the passionate photos were published. An insider said she is still 'finding it hard to come to terms with Hegarty's new relationship' but has 'kept her head down and concentrated on the children' at their £2million marital home in north London. The source added: 'He has even changed his look and cropped and peroxided his hair since this all started. He was always handsome but more low-key with mousey brown hair. He's like a different person now.' Last month Fearne said struggling as a single mother had reduced her tears following her split from Jessie. In her most candid interview since the breakup of her decade-long marriage, the TV presenter admitted that some days she is left 'crying in her car' as attempts to juggle the pressures of raising two young children single-handedly with her media career. 'I'm just dropping lots of balls constantly and never feeling like I'm doing anything particularly well,' Fearne told Women's Health magazine's new podcast, Just As Well. Reflecting on what it's like to be a single mother, she said: 'We're just juggling so much, it's so full on and I'm dropping balls left, right, and centre in all the basic ways. 'I had nothing the kids liked for breakfast on Monday, nothing. I had cereal, but no milk. I had butter, but no bread. I tried to make pancakes, I had no maple syrup. It is like an absolute s**t show. 'So I'm just dropping lots of balls constantly and never feeling like I'm doing anything particularly well. But enjoying most of it. I would say enjoying most of it. The mother-of-two announced her marriage split by taking to social media to make the announcement, telling fans 'It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. She added that their priority would 'always be' their daughter Honey and their son Rex. Jesse, meanwhile, has remained tight-lipped publicly, though his stepmother Jo Wood - ex-wife of his father Ronnie Wood - has spoken about the split. 'I was shocked, actually. I didn't expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated,' she told Daily Mail earlier this year. 'But sometimes in life, you have to go through these things… I'm sure Jesse's going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up - they had to move on.' She also said she looked forward to meeting Gemma, describing the relationship at the time as 'all very new'.

Liverpool are the Premier League champions but do they have the best kits this season? Where does YOUR club rank among the 40 home and away top-flight strips?
When the football season arrives, many fans eagerly anticipate the release of their club's new kits. From young kids getting their first shirts to collectors eyeing the next classic for their shelves, kit season is in full swing. This year's Premier League features some brilliant kits alongside a few rather dull ones. Some shirts are worth the price, while others feel overpriced as fees continue to spiral out of control in the football shirt market. We've ranked all 40 home and away kits for this season's Premier League, showcasing the best and the worst. Here are the Mail Sport's top picks... 40. Tottenham home kit Spurs' home kit is a simple and traditional design, sticking to their classic white colour scheme. While it adds a modern twist, the overall look remains very basic, offering little that stands out. 39. West Ham home kit As usual, West Ham have made minimal changes to their home kit, sticking with the same base colour and a restrained claret design. With little creativity on display, this home kit feels very much like a repeat of last year's. 38. Leeds home kit Leeds' home kit this season is fairly standard, with the most notable details found on the collar and cuffs. These feature yellow and blue tiles, a direct tribute to the iconic tilework in the famous Lowfields Tunnel leading up to Elland Road. 37. Crystal Palace home kit Bold red and royal blue vertical stripes, separated by thin white pinstripes, define the Eagles' home kit. Featuring a traditional V-neck collar trimmed in red, white, and blue, the most intriguing detail is the inner neck print that reads 'South London and Proud.' While the design is classic and loyal to Palace's heritage, it remains a fairly standard home kit without many standout features. 36. Wolves home shirt Wolves' home shirt remains largely unchanged from last year, featuring a classic design with only subtle updates. A delicate print inspired by Molineux Pleasure Grounds adds a unique touch, along with the phrase 'ONE PACK' on the back. Overall, it's not a standout kit for Wolves this season. 35. Nottingham Forest away kit There is a nice historic relevance to Nottingham Forest's new away kit given it is inspired by the city's famous Lace Market. The smart look is simplistic but also classy. 34. Chelsea home kit One of the classiest designs of the season, the Blues' home kit features a rich blue base with white and red detailing. Inspired by London's iconic architecture and creative spirit, the kit includes a subtle graphic that highlights the toughness and resilience of the capital and its people. 33. Manchester United home kit One of the season's coolest home kits, the Red Devils retain their classic red while introducing fresh new details. For the first time in a while, the sleeve features a graphic inspired by Old Trafford, paying tribute to the club's iconic stadium. Adding to the shirt's appeal, 'Theatre of Dreams' is printed on the collar, giving the design a stylish and meaningful touch. 32. Newcastle United away kit Newcastle's away kit is taking a bold new direction this season with a striking green colour that pays tribute to the iconic Tyne Bridge. Known as Saudi green, this shade has been featured in the club's kits since the takeover, making it both symbolic and distinctive. 31. Wolves away kit Nicknamed 'Into the Den,' Wolves' away shirt features a striking turquoise base with a wolf head print inspired by the architecture of Molineux Stadium. It's a stylish and bold design, perfect for the new season. 30. Manchester City home kit Sticking with their traditional sky blue, City have added historic elements to this season's home kit in a modern way. The standout feature is a white sash, which adds a sense of movement and dimension to the design. While the sash carries symbolic value, the overall look feels familiar making it another year without a truly fresh or groundbreaking update. 29. Leeds away kit Taking inspiration from their 2001 to 2003 away shirt, Leeds have gone with a mostly blue design for this season's away kit, featuring yellow logos and white/yellow detailing. While the nod to the past is a nice touch, the overall design is quite basic and unlikely to become a classic. 28. Everton home kit Moving to the Hill Dickinson Stadium this season, Everton have incorporated elements of their new partnership into the design of their kit, featuring a wave pattern that nods to the transition. The kit retains its iconic royal blue base, enhanced with distinctive patterns and details. The V-neck collar evokes memories of the classic 1986–89 Umbro kit, completing the design with a stylish finish. 27. Burnley home kit Featuring one of the best kit announcement videos of the summer, Burnley's home strip combines a vibrant claret base with striking blue accents and a topographical pattern inspired by the local landscape. More than just eye-catching, the design is symbolic, with elements inspired by the fans incorporated into the concept - making it a meaningful and stylish tribute to the community. 26. Fulham home kit Predominantly white with black piping, Fulham's home kit is a classic design. However, woven into the fabric is a subtle tribute to the balcony ironwork of Craven Cottage. While the design is understated, it adds a unique touch, paying homage to the club's rich history. 25. Burnley away kit One of the brightest kits of the season, Burnley's away shirt features a vivid sky-blue base with dynamic tonal graphics. The design cleverly incorporates soundwaves captured from the home sections of Turf Moor, making it a wearable symbol of pride for the fans. 24. Bournemouth home kit Made up of black and white stripes, with red accents featuring a tonal sand-textured pattern, Bournemouth's home kit is a clever nod to the sandy shores of the local coastline. This thoughtful design blends tradition with a coastal tribute, making it a likely hit among fans. 23. Liverpool home kit Staying true to tradition, the Reds have once again gone with their classic red base paired with white logos. This year's home shirt sticks closely to previous designs, offering little in the way of fresh patterns or standout features - making it a familiar but unremarkable update. 22. Sunderland home kit A typical home shirt for the Black Cats, the kit shows their classic red and white stripes. Within the stripes, a subtle geometric pattern inspired by the Stadium of Light adds a nice touch. 21. Tottenham away kit For the first time in 10 years, Spurs return to a black away kit, featuring grey accents and white logos. The design includes a subtle tile pattern incorporating the word 'Spurs,' adding a fresh touch to the classic look. 20. Manchester United away kit United's away kit follows a similar pattern that many of it away/thirds kits have looked over the past couple of years. An iconic 'snowflake' design with white and lavender being the two main colours. 19. Newcastle United home kit Newcastle United's 2025-26 home kit sticks to tradition with the club's iconic black and white stripes, echoing last season's classic look. A fresh element is introduced through a distinctive Sphered Check pattern, adding a modern flair. Light blue piping offers subtle contrast, and the phrase 'HOWAY THE LADS' beneath the collar ties heritage and innovation together seamlessly. 18. Brentford home kit One of the standout kits of the season, the Bees have gone old school, paying tribute to 100 years of their iconic red and white stripes. The shirt features tonal pinstriping, striped sleeves and back, and a classic collar inspired by the 1925 kit - blending modern design with a rich sense of history. 17. Bournemouth away kit The Cherries have embraced their history by reintroducing blue and black stripes for their away kit - the first time since the 2011–12 season. The design is elevated with subtle aqua pinstripes and finished with Umbro's iconic diamond logo, blending nostalgia with a modern edge. 16. Arsenal home kit One of the standout home kits of the season, the Gunners have returned to a classic look by using only red and white colours for the first time since 2022. The shirt also features the club's unique and elegant 'Gothic A' on the front, adding a stylish touch. Arsenal fans can be very happy with this design heading into the season. 15. Liverpool away kit A clean and modern design, the kit features a crisp white base complemented by bold black and red accents, although the Reds will hope for more success in the strip than in Sunday's Community Shield defeat by Crystal Palace. 14. Aston Villa home kit Villa have stuck with their traditional claret and blue for this season's home kit, which may not stand out at first glance. However, the shirt pays tribute to the iconic Holte End of Villa Park, with a unique design on the sleeve cuffs that reflects the facade of the famous stand adding a meaningful touch to a classic look. 13. West Ham away kit An off-white colour dominates West Ham's away kit, giving the club a bold and distinctive look on the road. The clean design combines classic elegance with a modern touch, making it a stylish and appealing kit. 12. Brighton home kit Brighton's classy home kit stays true to their traditional colors while introducing a fresh aqua shade, marking the first time this has been used in their kit. The new colour adds a modern twist, making it one of the standout home kits of the season. 11. Fulham away kit Fulham's new away strip certainly has a retro feel with the badge and collar, and the striking green colour is definitely eye-catching. The club's 1995 crest is reintroduced to a strip for the first time since 2001 and this has the potential to be a real hit. 10. Nottingham Forest home kit Taking inspiration from their kit from 1992 to 1994, Forest have created one of the best designs of the year with a classic red base and white pinstripes. While the look is traditional, subtle touches like a button collar and a shield surrounding the crest add extra detail and class. Forest fans are sure to be pleased with this elegant design. 9. Brighton away kit A striking dual-tone purple color scheme, featuring a wide central stripe in a darker shade, creates another classic Brighton kit. This modern design respects the club's traditional themes while delivering a bold new look that fans are sure to love. 8. Brentford away kit The Bees' away kit cleverly incorporates a bee-wing pattern into a sleek and stylish design. A polo collar with a gold stripe, a metallic gold logo, and a 'Bees' text detail on the back of the collar add standout touches. The kit proudly pays tribute to the club's famous nickname with a fresh, modern twist. 7. Chelsea away kit Historically not known for wearing white, Chelsea have looked back 50 years for inspiration, drawing inspiration from their 1974–75 away kit. 6. Aston Villa away kit Villa's black and steel grey away kit is designed as a tribute to Birmingham's Bullring Shopping Centre, although it is questionable how that comes out. However, the concept is unique and certainly a bold choice, while it is also a nice smart and clean look. 5. Manchester City away kit City's away kit takes a bold turn this season with an all-black design, complemented by metallic silver logos. Building on the black kit from the 2023–24 season, this updated version offers a more refined and modern look, adding a touch of class to the overall design. 4. Everton away kit A sleek wax yellow embodies the away kit, featuring navy trim, vertical pinstripes, and a navy collar. Bringing back memories of their 2010–11 third kit, the Toffees' away shirt is expected to become a fan favorite. 3. Arsenal away kit Drawing inspiration from their iconic 1995-96 away kit, the Gunners have gone old school with a modern twist for this season's strip. The design features a dark navy base, brought to life by a vibrant royal blue lightning bolt graphic. Red stripes and silver logos, along with a silver club crest, complete the bold and dynamic look. 2. Sunderland away kit The famous crest that was used between 1963 and 1972 is on Sunderland's away shirt, which reimagines the club's design from 1989 to 1991. Featuring a rich blue base with a subtle checkerboard pattern woven into the fabric, this kit is sure to be a hit with the fans. 1. Crystal Palace away kit The Eagles have paid tribute to last season's FA Cup victory with a predominantly gold shirt in their away kit. The kit features a Korean-style collar edged in black, along with matching details on the sleeves. Across the front and sleeves, a 'Pied de Poule' pattern adds texture and sophistication, giving the kit a stylish and distinctive look.

Pregnant Laura Adlington is ‘really bothered' about not having the ‘perfect' bump, as she shows off ‘B-shaped' belly
SHE'S expecting her first baby, and has been documenting her pregnancy on her social media pages. But former The Great British Bake Off star Laura Adlington, 36, has admitted there's one aspect of the journey she's been "really bothered" about. 4 4 And that's the shape of her baby bump. She took to Instagram to explain, as she said: "I'll be honest, I've been struggling a little bit the last couple of months of not having the perfect bump like all the girls on Pinterest. "So I have, and have always had, a B shaped belly." She then lifted up her striped maxi dress, as she pointed out that the top of her stomach had become "much firmer", but she still has a "B shape" with a soft bit at the bottom. "I'd be lying if I said it didn't really bother me sometimes, but I'm trying to be kind to myself and remind myself that my body is doing amazing things and it's okay for it to look like my body while it's doing them," Laura added. "I'm also trying to remind myself that just as all bodies are good bodies, as I've been bleating on about for years, all bumps are good bumps." She added in the caption: "Being pregnant can sometimes feel great and sometimes utterly BLEURGHH, but it ALWAYS feels like a privilege. "Please don't think I'm complaining as I'm not. "Just being honest about navigating my body changing and growing." "Hope this helps anyone in the same boat," she concluded. 'I keep thinking I can't get any bigger' exhausted mum-to-be sighs as she leaves people 'wincing' with her GIANT bump And Laura was quickly flooded with messages praising her for her post, as well as reassuring her that she "looks fab". "I didn't think my bump was cute and did not take a single picture," one wrote. "Now that my sweet girl is here I so wish I had documented her in my belly. "Take the pics - all bumps are cute bumps!" "I've never heard the term 'B shaped' before but that's what I have!!" another added. "More pronounced now due to menopause weight hitting above my waistline. "Thank you for helping me give a name to my shape!" "As a fellow B Belly, who had the very same feelings when I was pregnant, I say yes to all of this," a third wrote. "You're doing amazingly well and your body is rocking it!" "My son (now a strapping 15 year old) is my only child and I still deeply regret not taking photos of my pregnancy because I hated my body so much," someone else said. "You are amazing and defying all odds to create a new human. "Thank you for sharing."
