Singer Peter Andre and his wife, NHS doctor Emily, welcomed OK! into their beautiful home for an exclusive photoshoot as they gear up to celebrate their baby Arabella's first Christmas. Their abode is not only decked out in festive decorations but also showcases Peter's best-selling records on the wall and features a charming Winnie the Pooh themed nursery. And it's evident that the devoted parents - who already have children Millie, 10, and Theo, eight, while Peter has Princess, 17, and Junior, 19, from his previous marriage - are experts at multitasking, as they chat, brew cups of tea for the crew and cuddle eight-month-old Arabella between shots.
And it's set to be a special Christmas for the family, as Emily revealed some of their traditions. She said: "We incorporate traditions from my childhood. We all open our stockings in our bed (which luckily is massive!), then have a full English breakfast. We open our gifts throughout the day – there’s no present-opening frenzy. There are so many of us, we want to appreciate every gift and the thought behind it. We get out for a walk, and watch the King’s speech. We have our meal at about four, watch a classic Christmas movie and someone inevitably falls asleep on the sofa – usually me!"
Let's take a tour of their festive family home....
Festive decorations
This year has been a busy one for Peter and Emily - who welcomed baby Belle in April - as the actor has been filming overseas a lot, so to keep it a stress-free Christmas the pair enlisted company Flair & Foliage to decorate their home. Plus, the Andre household love to incorporate many festive traditions - from opening stockings in bed, to having a full English for breakfast, then opening gifts throughout the day.
Family memories
Their home is also filled with pictures of their family and friends - if you look closely there's even one with Peter standing next to Friends' star David Schwimmer. Plus, the couple, pictured on their special day above, celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary next year.
And when it comes to plans to celebrate, Peter said: "I love spending time alone with Ems but we’ve both decided we’d like to go away as a family, all of us. We’ve never spoken about renewing our vows. It’s a great idea, but I don’t think we would. If anything, I’d love to recreate our reception one day. Not now, though. But 10 years – what a milestone! My parents are going to be married 70 years next year, so we’ve got a way to go. I pray Mum’s going to make it for that."
Musical moments
Music is, of course, a big influence in their home as Peter and Emily have many impressive guitars hanging on their wall. The singer even has some of his records - including one for attaining platinum sales for his hit single Mysterious Girl - framed on the wall!
Adorable nursery
The couple also welcomed us into baby Arabella's stunning nursery - from soft tones and a calming colour palette, the walls are even decorated with adorable Winnie the Pooh drawings too.
And although they certainly have a nursery ready to go if they decided to expand their family again, they revealed another baby is firmly off the cards. Peter laughed: "Hell no! This is it! I always said I’d never be 50 and changing nappies, and yet here I am. But I’m done – we both are. Ems and I want to travel a bit when the kids get older – and maybe one of our children will give us grandchildren. We’re happy."
