AceShowbiz - Singer Peter Andre, 51, recently expressed his profound gratitude for the precious time he's now able to spend bonding with his newborn daughter, Arabella Rose Andrea. The "Mysterious Girl" singer, who welcomed Arabella with his doctor wife Emily MacDonagh, 34, on April 2, appreciates the opportunity to experience parenting in a fresh and meaningful way.

"I'm enjoying having time to bond with her. I've not really had that chance before with the others because of work, so I'm grateful for how this has turned out," Peter shared with The Sun.

Peter and Emily, who are also parents to Amelia, 10, and Theo, 7, took nearly six weeks to settle on the name Arabella Rose Andrea. Naming their daughter was a collective effort, though Peter ultimately entrusted Emily with the final decision, and he couldn't be happier with her choice.

Besides reveling in fatherhood, Andre is plotting his return to the music scene after nearly a decade. Reflecting on his time during the COVID-19 lockdowns, he realized he wasn't ready to retire just yet. "I spent a lot of time at home and actually went, 'No, I'm not ready at all to throw in the towel'," Peter revealed. His upcoming single will be a part of his action film "Bullet", in which he stars and helps produce, marking a unique fusion of his musical and acting talents.

Family remains at the heart of Peter's world. His older children with ex-wife Katie Price, Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, have been a pillar of support, especially during trying times.
