Peter and Emily Andre 'in protective mode' with newborn Arabella as they enjoy outing together
Peter Andre was the picture of a devoted dad as he took a lovely walk with his wife and their newborn baby – as our exclusive pictures show.
The singer and presenter, 51, was casually dressed in a white tee and jeans, and couldn't stop smiling as he gazed adoringly at his wife Emily, who was pushing their youngest daughter in a pram during their adorable outing on Saturday, 11 May.
Emily, an 34 year old NHS doctor, also looked radiant and stylish in sunglasses, leggings and a simple jumper as she stepped out with her husband just weeks after giving birth to their third child together.
Father of five, Peter, lovingly held baby Arabella in his arms at one point, as the happy couple took the newborn out of her pram and placed her in a carrier strapped across Peter's chest.
Despite looking happy and relaxed, 'The Face Whisperer' body language expert Adrianne Carter, exclusively told OK! that the couple are understandably very protective of their latest arrival.
"Both parents look like they're in full-on protective mode," Adrianne said. "The way they hold on to the pram, even Peter when he's not the one pushing it shows he feels protective of the new baby."
She continued: "The picture showing Peter with the baby in the carrier again reveals he's in protective mode, with his hands supporting the baby's head."
However Adrianne concluded: "Emily and Peter look genuinely happy and relaxed."
Emily announced the baby's name to her Instagram followers at the beginning of this month, sharing a delightful photo of her newborn daughter and captioning it: "It's taken a while but after lots of deliberation we've finally decided. Arabella Rose Andrea."
Followers were quick to respond with heartfelt messages. One fan gushed, "Peter that's a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl," while another humorously confessed, "I read it as Arrabiatta and honestly thought you named her after a pasta dish. Had to read it 3 times. I need my bed."
The nickname debate was sparked as one admirer suggested, "She will get Bella for short and I love it. X," but another fan earnestly hoped, "It's a nice name but I hope you don't shorten it. It would be a shame if you did."
The conversation about preserving the full name continued as an Instagram user recounted their family's experience: "My great granddaughter is called Arabella she's nearly 8 she always insists on Arabella and tells us off if we call her Ari which we do sometimes but she hates it too . No one has ever called her Bella."
Peter and Emily ave been candid about their struggle to pick the perfect name for their adorable new addition, who made her grand entrance into the world on 2 April.
The proud dad took to Instagram last month to announce the arrival of their bundle of joy: "Baby has been spoilt with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn't be happier. Only thing is... She has no name yet. Help!"
Later, Peter couldn't help but gush over his feelings, posting: "The love I have for our baby is one thing. The love I have for Emily is another love altogether. What an incredible mum she is and what a truly beautiful gift she has given us. We all love bubba so much. And she STILL has no name."
Before they settled on the name Arabella, Peter teased fans last month with the possibility of choosing a distinctive Welsh name for their daughter.
Chatting with Wales Online, he shared, "I would [choose a Welsh name] because someone else suggested Irish as well. There are similarities, maybe not completely, but even with Carys and Seren, there are a couple of Irish names that were mentioned to me that are similar to that. It's giving me this thinking outside the box."
