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.
Yet before they had their own children, and medic Emily was propelled into the step mum role, she told how she slept separately from the popstar for a year.
Talking of their blossoming relationship she said: "It sort of built slowly, because I think I wouldn't expect to step into that role immediately.
"And I was young as well, you know, so I think we were always really cautious in the beginning about how much I was around.
"And we joke about this now with the kids, it's so funny, but we didn't share a bedroom for the first year that we were together.
"Because, when the kids were there… he wanted to be respectful.
"And I actually really admired that at the time, that he always would put them first in everything.
"I thought that was really lovely."
LOVE STORY
The couple met through her father who is also a doctor.
Emily Andre reveals reason she'll never have another baby with Pete amid health issue
Peter had been due to appear at the Plymouth Pavilions when he was rushed to hospital in excruciating pain.
He was diagnosed with kidney stones and treated by Emily's dad.
Pete became close to the consultant urologist and when he returned to perform at the Plymouth venue, he was introduced to Emily.
The pair instantly kicked it off as friends.
At that time, Peter's high-profile divorce from Katie Price in 2009 had driven him to concentrate on being a good father to his children Princess and Junior.
In 2012 they finally went public with their relationship at a Magic Mike premiere.
FAMILY LIFE
In the candid chat, she also admitted the real reason the couple won't have any more children.
On the same Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher in which she opened up on sleeping arrangements, Emily 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."
Emily went on to explain that she'd developed a really rare type of hernia that was quite large and required an operation.
