Peter Andre and wife Emily 'struggling' as daughter Millie reaches huge milestone
It's been a big week for Peter and his wife Emily. Peter Andre and his wife Dr Emily MacDonagh have opened up on how they are coping with their daughter Millie reaching a huge milestone in her life. The couple, who are parents to Amelia, Theo, and Arabella, with Emily also being stepmum to Peter's older children, Princess and Junior, have shared their feelings on the matter, writes The Mirror. Writing in his New! magazine column, the father of six said that it's been a big week for the family. He penned: "It's been a bittersweet time recently – Emily and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month, but it was also Millie's last week of primary school before she heads off to secondary school in September." This comes after Emily recently revealed on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Happy Mum Happy Baby, that the couple don't plan on having any more children, as she also opened up about her difficult third pregnancy. Asked if there's a chance of them having more kids, she said: "It's absolutely cemented now but we always said it would be the last anyway. We don't have anymore bedrooms for starters so that's a good enough reason. "The car is full. We don't even have a seven-seater anymore because Junior and Princess can drive." Discussing the family dynamic, she said: "They have a lovely relationship together. Even though the older two have their own lives, so they're busy and doing their own thing, when they see the younger kids, they're so sweet and they get the biggest hugs. "The age gap is so big that it makes it easier because they're not in competition with each other. Like the younger ones understand that there's a different set of rules for the older ones because they're grown-ups." Elsewhere in the podcast, Emily spoke about her relationship with Princess and Junior and how important that is to her. "I always feel lucky that they've kind of accepted me into their family. And I think then, when we had Millie and Theo - and Belle as well - it kind of cements you even more as a family. But I always feel like, you know, I'm not their mum, and that's something I always have to make sure I tread carefully with. I always see it, I think I would see it a bit more like being a big sister," she said. "Which, I don't know if that's the right way to look at it, but I think, you know, I always try and give them guidance, but I wouldn't overstep that. Like, I obviously try and support them like I would do with my own kids. I always try and be the same. I'm quite strict though, on my kids. That's what I would say to the older kids - it's lucky there's an age gap, you know?" She added: "Because then you guys don't need to worry about, like, silly rules I have. I'm like, you guys can be exempt because you're older. The age gap is enough that my kids don't question why they're allowed to have the screens." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He continued, "It's been quite sad to see her prepare to say goodbye to the school she's attended since she was little. I try to look at it like they're growing up and it's great, but Emily has found it tough. Millie is her firstborn so I totally understand why she feels so emotional about it."

Peter Andre's wife Emily shares sweet snaps with daughter after sharing harrowing birth story
Earlier this month Emily Andre shared Belle's traumatic birth story and said 'doctor's had never seen it happen before' as she rules out having more kids Emily Andre has shared sweet snaps with her youngest daughter Arabella days after revealing her harrowing birth story. The 35-year-old welcomed her third child - who is known as Belle - with husband Peter Andre last April. She also shares daughter Amelia, 11, and eight-year-old sun Theo with singer and actor Pete, who she married in 2015. The couple posed for photos with Belle at a lavender field while the sun was out last week. Wearing a white dress that matched her mum's, they were careful not to show her face on social media - like all their kids. But fans got a tiny glimpse of the youngster as she played amongst the flowers - and the one-year-old is already starting to walk. Though it's not clear if she can do it on her own yet or still needs mum and dad to give her a helping hand. NHS doctor Emily captioned the post: "We made the most of the sunshine while it lasted, turns out Belle's favourite part wasn't the flowers… it was the bees." And fans were quick to compliment Belle's fine head of hair. One wrote in the comments underneath: "Ahh she's adorable - her hair!" Another of Emily's 715,000 Instagram followers said: "Belle's got gorgeous hair, doesn't she? Beautiful photos, guys." A third commented: "Oh my goodness Emily and Peter, these pictures make me quite emotional, the lavender setting and the pure beauty seeing you both with baby Belle, my heart." "Awww Belle's walking. They grow up so fast!! Love the Greek genes there," a fourth posted. A fifth said: "Gorgeous family. Belle is a beauty." While a fifth added: "I went to lavender fields with my grandbabies a couple of weeks ago. They loved it as much as little Belle x." The family day out comes a week after Emily shared traumatic details of Belle's birth for the first time and said her and Pete, 52, - who is also dad to son Junior, 20, and daughter Princess, 18, from his marriage to ex-wife Katie Price - wouldn't be having any more children. Speaking about Belle's birth, Emily said: "I haven't really spoken about her birth and what happened afterwards, because it was so hard and awful. But yeah, it was tough. Like, I was really unwell after she was born." She told Giovanna Fletcher 's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast: "So I had a really rare type of hernia that was quite large. And, this is actually quite disgusting to talk about, but basically, part of my bowels were kind of in the wrong place. "The type of hernia that it was can strangle the bowel quite easily, and then that becomes a real emergency. "I knew things weren't right after she was born, because I had a big, huge lump in my tummy - kind of sticking right out. So they got me back after a week to follow up, and they said, 'We need to get the surgeons to come and look at you.' "This was in the evening. The surgeon literally looked and said, 'You need to come into hospital — like, now.' And I was like, what do you mean? I just did not want to." Emily was rushed in for surgery after learning her bowel had actually come out. She continued: "So I had to go back for emergency surgery. Belle was a week old, so I kind of had to hand her over. That was the worst bit - I had to hand her over and go in for another operation." But in one 'sweet moment' that made her smile, Emily says the porter who took her down to theatre was the one who brought husband Pete into the same room when her dad operated on him - leading to the couple meeting and marrying years later.

Katie Price's brutal takedown of Emily Andre's parenting before Princess row
Katie Price has criticised Peter Andre's wife Emily Andre several times in the past, with a new row over Princess's 18th birthday party just the latest in a line of barbs After years of taking swipes at Emily and Peter Andre over their uneasy co-parenting arrangement, the situation between Katie Price and her ex kicked off yet again this week. Katie, 47, lashed out at Pete and his management for allegedly not allowing her to go to her daughter Princess' 18th party. Speaking to her sister, Sophie, on their podcast, The Katie Price Show, she claimed she wasn't invited because the party was being filmed for her daughter's new reality show. "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me," she fumed. Emily has broken her silence after the glamour icon's rant in a candid chat with Giovanna Fletcher. Speaking on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Emily says she knows she's not Princess and Junior's mum, so instead tries to be "more like a big sister". She said "I always feel like, you know, I'm not their mum, and that's something I always have to make sure I tread carefully with. I always see it, I think I would see it a bit more like being a big sister." Indeed, it has long been a sensitive subject for Katie, who once called Emily's parenting tactics "cringe" in a since-deleted Instagram post after the NHS doctor opened up on her life with stepchildren. Emily, 35, admitted that juggling parenting while working as a doctor was "challenging" in a 2022 interview with New Magazine. It came just weeks after Katie ranted about Emily on Instagram stories. "My mouth has been shut for so long but I've had enough of people selling stories on me and particularly this so called woman @dr_emily_official," Katie began. "Always said I don't want to be famous yet doesn't do too bad to stay away from media and TV and now trying to make a career out of it. READ MORE: Katie Price's horror pet deaths and one she blamed Princess for "So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children's faces up!" Emily shares daughter Amelia, 11, and son Theo, eight, with Peter. Katie also posted a cover of a magazine featuring Emily on her Instagram Stories at the time. Katie concluded: "Emily you are not and never will be my kids' parent so mind your own business."
