Who is Emily MacDonagh?
Born on August 16, 1989, Emily MacDonagh is 16 years younger than Peter Andre. She first grabbed headlines when it was revealed in 2012 that she was dating the renowned singer of ‘Mysterious Girl’. At the time, Emily was a medical student at Bristol University. Their love story began in 2010 when Emily's father, surgeon Ruaraidh MacDonagh, performed a kidney stone removal surgery on Peter. Two years later, their romantic relationship blossomed.

Emily, the eldest of five siblings, grew up alongside her brothers in Bridgwater, Somerset, before following in her father's footsteps to pursue a career in medicine. Upon dating Peter, Emily made an appearance on his reality show, ‘Peter Andre: My Life’, where she expressed her concerns about being accepted by Peter's family. She hoped that they would approve of her, as their opinion held great significance to both her and Peter. Fortunately, Peter's children from his previous marriage, Junior and Princess Tiaamii, instantly embraced Emily.
‘Emily is a little bit more private’
Following the commencement of their relationship, Peter decided to step back from reality television, prioritizing Emily's privacy. He stated, "Emily is a little bit more private, and I want to stick up for her and protect her." Emily was pregnant a few months after her graduation in 2013, when she was still a trainee doctor. Fans quickly caught on to the news when Peter was seen tenderly patting Emily's tummy. In his column, he joyfully announced, "We were going to keep this to ourselves a little bit longer, but as everyone's been asking, I am very happy to tell you that Emily MacDonagh and I are having a baby, and we are over the moon."
