Aussie singer Peter Andre and his girlfriend Emily MacDonagh have welcomed their first child together – a baby girl.

The 40-year-old star of British TV said the pair were “very happy” and “thrilled” with the arrival after Emily, 24, gave birth at Musgrove Park Hospital in southwest England.

Peter first told his children with ex-wife Katie Price – Junior, 8, and Princess, 6 – before announcing the news on his website. He is yet to release her name.

“Now that I have had the opportunity to tell Junior & Pringles [Princess], we are very happy to announce the safe arrival of our beautiful baby girl :),” he posted online.

“We are extremely thrilled and mum and bubba are doing fine.

“We are looking forward to a nice quiet couple of weeks getting to know our baby. Thanks to everyone at Musgrove Park Hospital :)))”

Emily, a medical student, and Peter announced they were expecting their first child together in July after they had been dating for just over a year.

“She’s an amazing, amazing girl. Being completely out of the industry that we’re in, you can go home and talk about the things that are completely different,” he said.

Peter has said Emily helped him through the loss of his brother Andrew who died from cancer just before Christmas.

The couple met through Emily’s father who is a surgeon and operated on Peter in 2010 to remove kidney stones.
