Peter Andre has revealed he and wife Emily have made the 'bittersweet' decision to not have any more children.
The singer, 52, shares Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and Arabella, 13 months, with Emily and he is also father to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with his ex Katie Price.
Yet while Katie has revealed she is determined to add to her family, Peter confirmed that there are no plans to expand his brood, admitting on Giovanna Fletcher 's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast that he feels 'very lucky' with his lot.
Reflecting on Emily giving birth to their youngest child last year, he confessed: 'The last one was a completely different emotion. It was that emotion of—we... "Not reached your goal" is not exactly the right way to say it, but I think knowing... we knew it was it.
'And like you said, it was—it's a different feeling because it's almost a bittersweet moment. You know, it's beautiful because you've experienced it.
'I mean, how lucky—when I think of people that can't have children, you know, and I'm thinking, I've got to experience it that many times. So that's the first thing.'
Peter continued: 'And then I'm thinking, I know we're never going to do this again. And that was a different... So I was a mess again, a complete mess.
'I mean, literally I am very lucky. And sometimes I take things for granted, and I don't realise I do..
'You know, Emily had a real complication with Belle - And I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but the complications that happened after were very serious.
'And so we - you know, it was a very scary time as well. But it also confirmed that it's the last time.'
The Mysterious Girl singer also reflected on the wide age gap between his children as he was asked how he juggles parenting teenagers with babies.
Admitting he found it 'tough', Peter explained: 'When you have teenagers, you've always got that thought of, are they going to be rude and moody and this and that? I didn't find that.
'What I do find difficult is when they get partners. You either accept their partners... and I'm not speaking about them specifically, I'm just saying now what I've realised. If you don't accept their partners, you push them away.
'So that becomes a tricky time, because you hope they're going to find someone nice.
'And then I've got my rules... so I don't really like sleepovers... because I don't want my younger kids to think that you can just... If you have been with someone for a very long time, it might be different, but those rules are the rules.
'So when they've wanted to stay with their partners, I've been like, you can, but not here.'
Peter's comments came as his ex-wife Katie revealed she has eggs donors lined up from women who look like her as she continues her bid to have a sixth child.
The former glamour model, 46, went through a 'turbulent' IVF journey with former Carl Woods back in 2023, but was unsuccessful. Their treatment was documented in controversial show Katie Price: Making Babies earlier this year.
However, despite her previous heartbreak, the mother-of-five is still pushing ahead with her dreams and told how she has everything she needs in place to welcome a baby.
And speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, Katie revealed that she acquired donor eggs last year and before meeting current boyfriend JJ Slater, 32, she was happy to have a baby 'on my own'.
Opening up about her plans, she even hinted that the father of her baby might not even be the MAFS UK star's as she already has a sperm donor lined up, while she also remained vague as to whether the couple have considered having children together.
Detailing her IVF battle and plans for the future, Katie shared: 'I had IVF and it failed because basically my eggs are too old. I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1 percent chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it! I went through all of it and it didn't work.
'So I have got donor eggs, I got them last year. You don't see the picture but they go on how I look, like the dark hair, the green eyes, Spanish... because I've got like Italian/Spanish in me.
'And then because I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own, before I met JJ I was quite happy. I found a sperm donor from America, from black origin.'
She went on to reveal that despite having a sperm donor lined up, if she 'met someone' who wanted a child, she'd be open to have one with them - but they'll 'never have the Pricey DNA.'
Katie explained: 'Because I'm pre-menopause at the moment, I thought you can't have kids, but you can! I've been tested, I'm, all fine, I can still carry babies. So I have got the eggs there, I've got everything set up ready for when I want it.
'But then I think what if I met someone and then they want a baby. Obviously I'd have to say to them well obviously you can never have my eggs so you'll never have the Pricey DNA. You'll have the donor DNA, you can't have the Pricey, only five kids have got the Pricey one - there's no more! Although I can carry it, but it'll be their sperm.
'But I'm not in no rush. This is the thing, I'm in no rush to do any of this, I'm in no rush to get married. To be honest, do I want to get married again? I've been there so many times and it's the same thing, it's agg when you divorce, I don't feel... it'll be nice to get all married but is it important to me? No.'
Katie is already mother to five children with previous partners and is now hoping to grow her brood again.
As well as her children with Peter, the model is mum to Harvey, 22, with ex Dwight Yorke and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler.
