Peter Andre has asked fans for help in naming his newborn daughter after having announced her birth.
The performer, 51, took to Instagram on Wednesday evening to announce that his wife Emily Andre, 34, had given birth to their third child. He shared photos of Emily and himself cradling their newborn daughter in hospital.
The couple are already parents to Amelia, 10, and Theo, seven, together. Their family also includes Peter’s two older children Junior Andre, 18, and Princess Andre, 16, whom he welcomed with his ex-wife Katie Price, now 45.
Alongside the photo, Peter wrote: “Just minutes old……We feel so overwhelmed right now. So happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family. Mum and daughter are doing amazing. Born Tuesday 2nd April 2024, 7lb 3oz and thankfully very healthy. Baby has been spoilt with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn’t be happier.”
He added: “Thanks to all the doctors, midwives and staff at Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton. You were incredible. And Emily’s parents, whom I adore. You have both been incredible. I’m so happy. Just off to hold her. Thanks everyone for reading.”
Peter also requested “help” from his followers in the post, teasing that he was looking for suggestions for potential names. He wrote at one point in the caption: “Only thing is…. She has no name yet. Help!”

The post has amassed more than 30,000 likes already and a number of his followers took to the comments section to share their ideas for the newborn’s name. One person wrote: “Sophia! She looks like a Sophia! And goes so well with your other children’s names.” Another fan suggested: “My daughter’s name is Nell and I always get so many compliments.” A third wrote: “Congratulations to you both. I love the name Aria and Willow.”
Sharing their suggestion, one person commented: “Blossom or Daisy.” Someone else responded to the post: “Eleni, Maria, Olivia, Evelyn.” Another fan wrote: “My daughter is called Caitlyn. It’s not too popular and we think [it’s] pretty.”
Peter and Emily – who have been married since 2015 – announced that they were expecting another baby in a post on the platform towards the end of last year. The pair had shared a selfie that showed them with scan photos.
Alongside it, they wrote in the caption that accompanied it: “We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024.” Peter and Emily further commented in the post: “The kids are so excited. So are we.”
They kept fans updated throughout the pregnancy since the announcement. And just last month, Peter provided another update in his column for OK! magazine, teasing that his wife Emily could give birth “any day” now.
He wrote: “Emily and I are on total tenterhooks now that the baby is due any day. We thought it was going to happen last week when she seemed to be having contractions. It ended up being Braxton Hicks [and she] takes it all in her stride.”
