Peter and Emily Andre finally shared the name they’ve given to their new baby girl recently.
The couple, who now share three children together, welcomed their new arrival to the world early last month.
Peter and Emily are also parents to Amelia, 10, and Theo, seven. And Peter is dad to Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, too. Their mum is Pete’s ex Katie Price.
Peter, 51, has joked in recent weeks that Emily “slowed down the process” of selecting a name, and that they couldn’t agree on one that suited the tot. However, he also added: “I think it’s only fair that Emily decides.”

What does the name Arabella Rose Andréa mean?
‘Arabella’ is said to be of Greek, Latin, or Celtic origin meaning ‘yielding to prayer’. Additionally, the ‘bella’ component indicates possible Latin, Spanish or Italian roots, where it translates as “beautiful”. Arabella has become an increasingly popular choice as a girl’s name since the 1990s.
‘Rose’, meanwhile, is thought to be linked to the tot’s elder sister Amelia. Peter has previously explained how she was actually called Rose for a few weeks after she was born. However, Emily and Peter reportedly decided “didn’t suit her”. But, it seems, it suits little Arabella.
Andréa is Pete’s full surname.
Speaking in his latest column for OK!, Peter explained why he let Emily choose the name. He said: “A couple of weeks ago I said to Emily that it was down to her to pick a baby name – after all, she’d brought our baby into the world. Emily wanted us to decide together, but when she came up with the name Arabella Rose, I immediately thought, ‘That’s so beautiful.'”
