For Peter Andre and his wife Emily, it should have been nothing but pure happiness. The couple proudly announced they are expecting their fourth child together, and fans everywhere rushed to congratulate them. But what began as a moment of celebration quickly turned sour — thanks to a comment from Peter’s ex-wife, Katie Price.
A Growing Family
Peter and Emily have built a loving home over the past decade, raising their two children alongside Peter’s older kids, Princess and Junior, from his marriage to Katie. Fans have long admired Emily’s graceful role as stepmother, so when the couple revealed baby number four is on the way, social media lit up with joy.
“Congratulations Peter and Emily! What a beautiful family,” one fan wrote.
Another added: “This baby will be so loved.”
For Peter, who often calls fatherhood his “greatest joy,” the news was perfect — until Katie entered the spotlight.
Katie Price Sparks Backlash
Instead of joining in the congratulations, Katie shifted the focus back to her children with Peter. She reportedly said:
“My children are the best — nothing compares to them. Peter should already feel lucky and complete with Princess and Junior.”
Though some defended her pride as a mother, many saw the remark as dismissive of Peter’s new chapter with Emily. The timing — coming just as the baby news spread — only added fuel to the fire.
One fan fumed: “This was Peter and Emily’s moment. Why try to steal the spotlight?”
Another wrote: “Princess and Junior are wonderful, but this wasn’t the time.”
A History of Friction
The fallout is the latest twist in Peter and Katie’s complicated history. Divorced in 2009, their co-parenting has often made headlines — with Peter’s steady, private approach clashing with Katie’s outspoken nature.
Now remarried and settled, Peter rarely addresses drama, while Emily keeps her focus on family and avoids public feuds. A source close to her said: “Emily isn’t surprised by Katie’s words, but she refuses to let it overshadow her happiness. She’s focused on the baby.”
Princess and Junior in the Middle
As teenagers, Princess and Junior remain at the center of both worlds. While Katie praised them as “the best,” fans worry that dragging them into the spotlight once again puts pressure on the siblings.
“They’re amazing kids,” one commenter noted. “But Peter can love and celebrate all his children — it’s not one or the other.”
Joy That Can’t Be Diminished
Despite the noise, Peter and Emily remain thrilled as they prepare for their new arrival. Friends say they’re “counting down the days” and focusing only on family.
And while Katie’s remark stirred anger, the bigger picture is clear: a new baby is on the way, love is multiplying, and Peter is once again stepping into the role that defines him best — proud father.
