After ‘hours of consideration’, Peter Andre and his wife Dr Emily MacDonagh have finally revealed the name of their newborn daughter.
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker and his girlfriend welcomed their kid on April 2, stating that they ‘couldn’t be happier.
He’s since hinted at what they’d name their daughter and uploaded sweet footage of them cuddling.
After trying to come up with a name, Peter even solicited followers for suggestions, but the I’m A Celebrity star’s choice has finally been revealed.
‘It’s taken a while but after lots of deliberation we’ve finally decided. Arabella Rose Andréa,’ Emily wrote on Instagram on Thursday, alongside some sweet pictures of the tiny tot.
Over on his page, Peter added: ‘I think you’ve chosen a beautiful name @dr_emily_official Arabella Rose Andréa I LOVE it. 🥰 and I love her.. and you of course:).’
Fans hurried to leave congrats in the comments, marvelling over the name.
‘Beautiful name, congratulations to you all,’ @vikkillewellyn wrote.
‘Huge congratulations, she’s going to be so loved and spoilt, surrounded by such a loving family,’ @snowboardingwife_amandag added.

Peter had previously mentioned that they were considering a Welsh name, and he particularly liked the name Seren.
On their name indecision, Peter earlier confessed: ‘Honestly I had one of my cousins ring me going, “Have you got a name but you’re just not telling anyone?” I said, “No, literally.” Really, this happened with my daughter Millie.
‘We called her Rose until we had to register her six weeks later, and then we realised Rose didn’t suit her.’
He also told OK! Magazine two weeks after Arabella was born: ‘We are still no closer to a name for our newest bundle of joy! Anytime Emily and I talk about it, it just gets put aside.
‘She is recovering, after all, so I totally get it.’
He added: ‘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.’
Peter, 51, married Emily, 34, in 2015 and has five children: son Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16 with ex-wife Katie Price, and nine-year-old daughter Amelia and son Theo, six with Emily.
The couple announced they were expecting their third child together in October, with Peter taking to Instagram with a snap of Emily holding up ultrasounds and wrote: ‘We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024 The kids are so excited. So are we.’
After she was born, Peter shared how loved Arabella is by her siblings, saying: ‘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.’
