Peter Andre shares 'second name' for newborn daughter he shares with wife Emily

Peter Andre has revealed he and wife Emily have a 'second name' for their newborn daughter. The couple welcomed Arabella Rose last month, as Pete became a dad-of-five.

The 51-year-old welcomed the bundle of joy into the family fold when Emily, 34, gave birth on April 2. However the tot went without a name for nearly a month after the couple admitted to struggling to agree on a name.

Mum-of-three Emily finally decided on the name Arabella Rose, which Peter says is "so beautiful". The proud dad, who also shares Amelia, 10, and Theo, seven, with Emily, has now revealed his fifth child has other names - including the Greek pronunciation.

In his OK! column, he shared Arabella's potential nicknames. Peter said: "I guess it’ll be Bella or Belle for short. Her name suits her perfectly and 'Rose' is what we originally called Millie for the first few weeks. Our family feels complete."

Peter, who is Greek Cypriot, also revealed his family in Australia "love" the name and shared another variation of the moniker. He said: "And they love the name Arabella, which in Greek is pronounced Arvela."

Pete's family are yet to meet Arabella in person, having only seen her through video link. The singer admitted he doesn't "feel right" to leave Emily and their newborn to jet Down Under just yet, where his parents and siblings are based.

"I’m on the phone to my mum and dad in Australia nearly every day," the Mysterious Girl singer said. "They met the baby by video call when she was just moments old. My sister has FaceTimed the baby too. It’s amazing what technology offers these days, allowing families to keep in touch."

He continued: "When Princess and Junior were younger, the only way they’d really see their grandparents was if we travelled over there. I don’t feel right to leave Emily and the baby just yet to go over and visit, but this way it feels like they’re in the room and allows my parents to see those important first moments."

Peter is also dad to teenagers Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, with ex-wife Katie Price. He said all four of his children are "obsessed" with Arabella, and the two teens have been a huge help at home.

"All of the kids are obsessed with their new sister – she’s just so adorable. Junior and Princess have been amazing at helping us out, too. I feel very blessed," Peter sweetly added.
