Emily Andre has shared a new photo of her rarely-seen son Theo in honour of his eighth birthday.
To mark the special occasion, the NHS Doctor, who shares three children with singer Peter, opted to upload a heartwarming image of Theo gazing at the sea while on holiday.
The picture showed the youngster standing on a low wall, dressed in sage green shorts and a cream polo top. To protect her loved one’s privacy, Emily ensured that Theo’s face was hidden from view.
Alongside the snapshot, the mother-of-three penned an emotional message, reflecting on the passage of time. “My gorgeous boy is eight today. I actually can’t believe where the time has gone!” she wrote.

The star’s friends and family were quick to share their birthday well-wishes in the comments section. “Happy 8th birthday Theo. Growing up so quick as they do,” wrote one, while a second chimed in: “Seems only yesterday yourself and Pete announced expecting him… Happy 8th birthday Theo,” and a third added: “8 wow where does time go, happy birthday Theo.”

They welcomed their first child together – a daughter called Amelia – in January 2014, just days after Peter got down on one knee and proposed on New Year’s Eve.

Peter is also a doting dad to 19-year-old son Junior and 17-year-old daughter Princess from his previous marriage to Katie Price. The former couple separated after four and a half years together.
Emily shares an incredibly close bond with her two stepchildren and has previously spoken about her role as a stepmother. During a chat with The Times, she said: “I think I take on more of a big-sister role. They are lovely children, and they’ve made my life easy, to be honest.

When it comes to dinner times, Peter and Emily have one non-negotiable rule.
“The main rule we have is no screens!” Emily told HELLO! in a recent interview. “That includes phones, iPads, and TV. The reason for that is so that we can all be present and listen to each other without distractions. I think it’s so important.”
