Singer and television personality Peter Andre has issued a defiant response to critics questioning the significant age difference between himself and wife Emily as they prepare to welcome their fourth child.
The 51-year-old entertainer and 34-year-old NHS doctor Emily are expecting their third child together, adding to their family which already includes daughter Amelia, 10, and son Theo, 7. Andre is also father to Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, from his previous marriage to Katie Price.
Addressing the Critics Head-On
In his latest OK! Magazine column, Andre didn't shy away from the ongoing commentary about their 17-year age gap. "People ask me about the age gap all the time," he stated, adding with characteristic humour, "I always say, 'What age gap?'"
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker revealed that despite external opinions, their relationship remains strong and focused on what truly matters. "We don't even think about it," he insisted, emphasising that their connection transcends numerical differences.
Family Health Concerns Amid Joy
The happy baby news comes during a challenging period for the Andre family, as Emily's father, Ruaraidh MacDonagh, has been seriously unwell in hospital. Andre shared that despite this difficult time, the pregnancy has brought "so much happiness" to the family.
"We're over the moon," the excited father-to-be confirmed, though he admitted the timing has been emotionally complex given the family circumstances.
Keeping Details Under Wraps
While confirming the pregnancy, Andre remained tight-lipped about specific details, including the baby's due date and gender. The couple have chosen to keep these intimate details private for now, focusing instead on navigating this new chapter while supporting Emily's father through his health battle.
The growing Andre clan continues to capture public attention, blending showbusiness glamour with medical professionalism in what fans have dubbed one of showbiz's most intriguing partnerships.
