London, UK – June 12, 2025, 08:20 AM BST – In a heartbreaking update, singer and TV personality Peter Andre has spoken out about his wife Emily MacDonagh’s serious health condition, revealing that the family is grappling with an emotional and uncertain time. The 52-year-old, known for hits like Mysterious Girl, shared the news in an emotional statement on June 11, confirming that Emily, 35, has been battling a severe complication that has left their household shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
Andre, who has three children with Emily—Amelia, 11, Theo, 8, and Arabella, 14 months—disclosed that her health took a critical turn following complications after Arabella’s birth in April 2024, which he had previously hinted at as “very serious” in May 2025 interviews. In his latest statement, he elaborated, “Emily’s been incredibly strong, but this latest setback has hit us hard. The doctors are doing all they can, and we’re just taking it day by day.” The specific condition remains undisclosed, but sources suggest it involves a rare post-surgical issue requiring ongoing treatment, adding to the family’s distress as they balance care for their young children.
The revelation has cast a somber mood over the Andre household, with Peter also managing his older children, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from his previous marriage to Katie Price. Social media reactions reflect the public’s concern, with fans posting messages of support like “Praying for Emily and the family—stay strong, Pete” and “This is so heavy, wishing them all the best.” The family has retreated from public engagements, with Peter canceling upcoming appearances to be by Emily’s side, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Colleagues and friends have rallied around them, with Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter offering words of encouragement: “Peter’s a rock, but this is tough on them all.” As the UK tunes in, the focus shifts to Emily’s recovery, with the family atmosphere described as heavy with worry yet bolstered by love, leaving fans hopeful for a positive update amidst the uncertainty.
