Peter Andre has revealed he and wife Emily have a 'second name' for their newborn daughter. The couple welcomed Arabella Rose last month, as Pete became a dad-of-five.
The 51-year-old welcomed the bundle of joy into the family fold when Emily, 34, gave birth on April 2. However the tot went without a name for nearly a month after the couple admitted to struggling to agree on a name.
Mum-of-three Emily finally decided on the name Arabella Rose, which Peter says is "so beautiful". The proud dad, who also shares Amelia, 10, and Theo, seven, with Emily, has now revealed his fifth child has other names - including the Greek pronunciation.
In his OK! column, he shared Arabella's potential nicknames. Peter said: "I guess it’ll be Bella or Belle for short. Her name suits her perfectly and 'Rose' is what we originally called Millie for the first few weeks. Our family feels complete."
Peter, who is Greek Cypriot, also revealed his family in Australia "love" the name and shared another variation of the moniker. He said: "And they love the name Arabella, which in Greek is pronounced Arvela."
Pete's family are yet to meet Arabella in person, having only seen her through video link. The singer admitted he doesn't "feel right" to leave Emily and their newborn to jet Down Under just yet, where his parents and siblings are based.
