“I love it. and I love him…and you of course.”

“A name I suggested to you both. Such a beautiful name. Little Bella. Perfect,” one person wrote in response.

Andre married MacDonagh, a doctor, in 2015 and the couple welcomed their third child April 2nd.
They had talked about their difficulty in deciding on a name at the time.
Announcing the arrival of his daughter last month, Andre wrote on Instagram: “Baby has been spoiled by cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn’t be happier.
“The only problem is… She doesn’t have a name yet. Help !”
-Andre asked fans in the caption if they had any ideas and hundreds of people responded.
A few weeks later, he updated his followers, writing: “The love I have for our baby is one thing. The love I have for Emily is quite another.
“What an incredible mother she is and what a truly wonderful gift she has given us. We all love Bubba so much. And she STILL doesn’t have a name.”

Peter Andre on ’90s nostalgia
Andre is known for hits such as Mysterious Girl, Flava and Insania in the 1990s and 2000s, as well as his appearances on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! And come strictly dance.
Discussing nostalgia and looking back at changes in the music industry, Andre told Sky News in an interview this week: “If you look at the 80s in particular, superstars were superstars.
“If Madonna came on the radio, you knew it was Madonna. If Michael Jackson was on the radio, you knew it was Michael Jackson.
“Now there are some great songs, but you don’t know who’s who unless you’re aware of what’s happening on social media. So, it’s a different time.”
