Emily MacDonagh, wife of singer Peter Andre and a practicing doctor, has candidly spoken about the challenges of maintaining their relationship amid the demands of family life. Married since 2015, the couple share a bustling household with their three children—Amelia, Theo, and Arabella—as well as Peter’s daughter, Princess Andre.
Emily, 35, emphasized the importance of making intentional time for one another despite their busy schedules. “It’s something we have to make an effort to do and, if I’m honest, we should do it more,” she told Heat Magazine. “We always say we ought to try to go for dinner once every two weeks, and it happens, but just not that frequently. Still, we make time within our routine—every night we try to sit together, watch TV or have a conversation, just us with no distractions.”
The couple also prioritizes an annual family vacation to Cyprus, a place close to Peter’s heart as it’s his family’s heritage. Emily appreciates the opportunity for their children to connect with their roots during these trips.

Balancing her demanding career as a doctor with family responsibilities is a daily juggling act for Emily. She admits that accepting imperfection was a learning curve. “I’m a horrible perfectionist,” she revealed, “but you can only do your best. I recently mixed up one of the kids’ PE days at school and had to accept that I can’t do everything perfectly.”
Unlike Princess Andre, who stars in the ITV2 reality show The Princess Diaries, Peter and Emily keep their three children out of the public spotlight.
Princess, meanwhile, has shared candid reflections on her upbringing, describing a childhood filled with pressures and seeking support from a counsellor. She expressed a wish for a “happier childhood” and continues to use writing as a therapeutic outlet.
Despite the inevitable challenges of family and fame, Emily and Peter continue to focus on nurturing their marriage and household while balancing personal and professional lives.
