Peter Andre and his wife Emily have welcomed their fifth child together, but the couple are yet to decide on a name for their newborn daughter after asking fans for their suggestions

Peter Andre has confessed that his newborn daughter might remain nameless for weeks.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 51, announced the birth of his fifth child on Tuesday, describing her as ‘very healthy’. In a gushing post, he confirmed that his wife Emily had welcomed a happy and healthy baby girl.

Weighing 7lb 3oz, the tot was born at Musgrove hospital in Taunton. While admitting that they hadn’t yet decided on a name, Peter said that they were feeling “overwhelmed” and he “couldn’t be happier”. He also confirmed that Emily and their daughter were doing “amazing” and that all his children were in love with their sibling.

Sharing photos of himself and Emily cuddling their precious bundle of joy, Peter said: “Just minutes old…… We feel so overwhelmed right now. So happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family. Mum and daughter are doing amazing. Born Tuesday 2nd April 2024, 7lb 3oz and thankfully very healthy.

“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.”

Days later, Peter and Emily have still yet to decide on a name for their new bundle of joy. Writing in his Planet Pete column for New Magazine before Emily went into labour, Pete mused: “I was reading about a few baby names that are apparently on the brink of “extinction”, and it looks like the most endangered in 2024 is Keanu for a boy and Flo, a shortened version of Florence, for a girl.”

“I really like Keanu. It’s crazy to think names could be wiped out. Maybe this will give us some inspiration, but we have no idea what we’ll call the baby. Millie didn’t get her name for the first six weeks of her life, as we started with Rose before settling on Millie.”

He also shared how excited his eldest son Junior, 18, whom he shares with ex-wife Katie Price along with Princess, was about the new addition to the family. Peter added: “I’ve been keeping you all up to date with Emily’s pregnancy and now we’re literally counting down the minutes. I can’t wait.

“At the time of writing my column, the baby hasn’t made an appearance, but that could all change by the time the magazine is out just watch this space! I’m at the point where I don’t want to leave Emily’s side or, if I do, I only travel 15 or 20 minutes away, just in case. The kids are so excited, too. Junior says he’s going to love this baby like it’s his own, so he’ll definitely be on babysitting duties.”
