Proud new dad Peter Andre takes newborn daughter for a walk after revealing her adorable name
PETER Andre looked every inch the doting dad as he stepped out with his newborn daughter.
The singer, 51, was spotted for the first time today after becoming a dad for the fifth time.
Giving wife Emily a break, Pete strapped his little one to him for some fresh air – after revealing her name for the first time.
Pete and Emily had been struggling to pick a moniker for their little one – but a month after her birth, Emily announced she was called Arabella Rose Andrea.
Pete’s children all have the surname Andrea, which is his real surname.
Emily also uses it – speaking in 2016 she told OK!: “It’s on all the children’s birth certificates and is now my surname.”
The singer confirmed today that his wife chose the name for their newest arrival.
He wrote on Instagram: “I think you’ve chosen a beautiful name @dr_emily_official. Arabella Rose Andrea.
“I LOVE it. and I love her… and you of course.”
Peter and Emily are already parents to seven-year-old son Theo, and daughter Amelia, 10, while Andre is also father to 18-year-old son Junior and daughter Princess, 16, with his ex-wife, Katie Price.
The couple’s third child was born on April 2 and they have spoken about struggling to decide on a name.
Announcing his daughter’s arrival last month, Peter told fans: “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.
“Only thing is… She has no name yet. Help!”
Weeks later he updated followers, writing: “The love I have for our baby is one thing. The love I have for Emily is another love altogether.
“What an incredible mum she is and what a truly beautiful gift she has given us. We all love bubba so much. And she STILL has no name.”
Pete had previously told fans he was “thinking outside the box” to get the name right – previously noting he liked the names Athena in a nod to his Greek roots, and Charlotte, with the nickname Charlie.
But Emily later ‘took them off the table’, putting them back to square one.
Peter added: “We’ve been trying out names that our friends and family have suggested, but then Emily and I don’t seem to agree on them.
“So I think it’s only fair that Emily decides – I hope she picks a good one.”
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Peter added: “She is recovering after all, so I totally get it.
“We have less than four weeks left before we have to register her. I took our baby for a walk in her pram for the first time to drop Millie and Theo at school.
“It’s beautiful to do these things all over again.”
The couple announced their pregnancy news in October last year.
