Peter Andre says 'it was a scary time' after making major decision with wife
Peter Andre has shared that he and wife Emily MacDonagh have made a huge family decision after the couple experienced 'complications' during the birth of their youngest child Pop star Peter Andre has candidly opened up about a significant family choice following the revelation of his wife Emily's health challenges. Peter first became a dad nearly two decades ago when he and fellow ' I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' participant, Katie Price, welcomed their son Junior. Not long behind was their daughter Princess, but alas, his high-profile romance with the former glamour model ended in 2009. The 'Mysterious Girl' singer's love life took a turn for the better when he met Emily MacDonagh under extraordinary circumstances. Their fateful encounter happened after Peter's kidney stone operation performed by none other than Emily's father, a skilled urologist, back in 2010. Since making their relationship official in 2012, Peter and Emily haven't looked back, welcoming their first daughter Amelia in 2014 and later their children Theo and Arabella, reports Somerset Live. However, reflecting on the moment Arabella came into the world during a heart-to-heart on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Peter shared a surprising update about potentially expanding his brood further. As the newest addition to the family arrived, he recognised that Arabella would be their final child, describing the realisation as "bittersweet". Amidst heartfelt emotions while discussing their family plans, he expressed his gratitude for parenthood: "It's beautiful because you've experienced it, how lucky. When I think of people who can't have children, and I'm thinking I've got to experience it that many times." However, the 52-year-old revealed they had made the decision not to expand their brood further due to "complications" during the birth of their daughter Arabella last year. He said: "Emily had a real complication with Belle which I'm sure she'll tell you about, which people didn't know about, and I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but the complications that happened after, that were very serious." He went on to describe a frightening period in their lives, yet also acknowledged that it solidified their decision: "So it was a very scary time as well, but it also confirmed that it was the last time." Peter also touched on the unity within their blended family, detailing in his memoir, 'Between Us', the relationship his eldest children, Junior and Princess, share with their stepmother Emily: "So, as our relationship blossomed, the kids only knew her as a friend. But, what a friend. Just as Emily and I had developed this incredible closeness, so the children were creating an amazing bond with her." Opening up about the moment he decided to propose to Emily, Peter Andre shared that he had "no worries" about discussing it with his children: "When the time came, and I knew I was going to ask Emily to marry me, my kids had truly grown to love her, so I had no worries about sitting down with them and explaining 'the situation'."
