Peter Andre and wife Emily divided over decision to have more children

The couple have been talking about expanding their brood

Peter Andre and wife Emily MacDonagh are already parents to two gorgeous children, Amelia, three, and Theo, 10-months, but have been divided over whether they want another.

Aussie singer Pete has revealed he “definitely doesn’t want another baby right now” despite other-half Emily feeling broody.

Peter, 44, is also dad to Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, from his previous marriage to Loose Women star Katie Price.

The doting dad, who married Emily in 2015, told New magazine: “Ems has been saying she’s broody non-stop and I’m like, ‘You cannot be serious?’

“We’ve had a really tough time with Theo – although he is turning into the most beautiful little boy.

“But we’ve just been through this time of no sleeping so, at the moment, another baby is not for me.

The star continued: “Theo’s still young and I’ve got to get my head around the idea of another one.

“There’s this old saying that practice makes perfect – but I definitely don’t want another baby right now. No, no, no!”

It comes after Emily, 28, revealed in her OK! Magazine column that she’s been feeling “quite broody” after the Duchess of Cambridge announced she and Prince William are expecting their third child.

She wrote: “News that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her third child has put me in a good mood all week.

“I have to admit it’s also made me quite broody! I’ve always been about a year behind Kate with my pregnancies, so if that was to continue, I’d be having another baby in 2019!”

The junior doctor added: “I’m not sure that’s going to happen as I need to get settled back into work first, but never say never when it comes to having more children.

“Don’t tell Pete!”

Peter has made is clear over the past year that he’s not ready for anymore tots running around because he’s “content with what I’ve got”.

And it seems the loved-up couple don’t have the time for another baby right now.

With Emily set to get back to work next month and Pete jetting off to the States later this year to focus on his Hollywood movie career, the pair admitted they wouldn’t be able to juggle another baby on top of everything else.

But the couple did find time out of their busy schedules to enjoy a romantic trip to Southern Spain with their two children as well as Junior and Princess.

The getaway was a belated celebration for Emily’s recent 28th birthday.

Pulling out all the stops Pete hired a yacht just off the coast of Marbella treating his wife to a three-course dinner for the two of them.

And he also surprised her with a very special gift.

Remember back in early August when Peter admitted he had a “beautiful present” for his wife but kept forgetting to give it to her?

Well the singer finally remembered and gave it to her during their trip.

Pete surprised Emily with a huge diamond ring!

Speaking to OK! Magazine about her special day Emily said: “I’ve got a new sparkler! How lucky am I? It’s amazing. He really pulled out all the stops, it was very special.

“It felt like he was proposing all over again – it was so romantic.”

“I wanted to treat her for her birthday. It was really a thank you for Theo,” Pete explained.
