Peter Andre was unable to join his wife Emily MacDonagh and their children on a festive trip to Lapland UK this Christmas Eve, but he had a good reason. The 51 year old Mysterious Girl singer took to Instagram to explain that he stayed home to look after their youngest daughter, Arabella, who they welcomed in April 2024.
Pete and Emily are also parents to Theo, ten, and Amelia, eight, while Pete has two older children, Princess, 17, and Junior, 19, from his previous marriage to Katie Price.
Sharing a glimpse of Emily, Theo and Amelia’s day out on his Instagram Stories, Peter wrote: “The kids filled me in on all the magic – elves, ice skating, and even their special visit with Santa. “I was on Belle duty, but honestly, it feels like I didn’t miss a thing,” as OK! reports.

Emily, 35, also shared her experience of the day on her Instagram, writing: “The kids and I had the most magical day at @laplanduk. Every tiny detail was thought of. While Pete was on baby duty the kids and I had the best time exploring-and let’s just say, Pete’s had quite the download of all the magical stories since they got back. Definitely memories we will treasure forever”.
Emily is careful to respect her children’s privacy on social media, only filming them from the back or cutting out their faces when sharing updates about their activities. Before heading out, Emily posted an update about baby Arabella, affectionately known as Belle, who had just cut her first tooth.
