Emily Andre has been forced to take action after being trolled on social media, as her family’s never-ending drama with Katie Price rumbles on
Emily Andre has been forced to take action after being cruelly trolled on social media as her family’s never-ending drama with Katie Price rumbles on.
The NHS doctor married Katie’s ex Peter Andre in 2015 have three children together – Amelia, 11, Theo, 8 and Arabella, one. Emily also acts as stepmother to Peter’s eldest offspring from his relationship with Katie Price – Princess, 18, and Junior, 20.
Over recent weeks, Peter and Katie have reignited their almost 20 years long feud, with both sides issues bombshell statements and taking swipes at one another.

But Emily is seemingly trying her best to keep out of it and focus on the positives in her life. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the mum-of-three shared some snaps from a recent holiday to Cyprus.
In one of the sweet images, Emily can be seen wearing matching outfits with daughters Amelia and Arabella as they pose next to a beaming Peter and Theo.
Any images including her kids featured emojis covering their faces to protect their identity, or simply showed them posing with their backs to the camera.
“Missing Cyprus already. little throw back from a lovely sunset and family time spent together making memories @peterandre,” Emily captioned the collection of beach pictures. “Ps. Can we acknowledge how tall Millie is getting!! And baby Belle is suddenly walking so much, it’s too cute!”
But the mum-of-three had to quickly limit the comments underneath her post after a slew of negative jibes from Instagram users. “Why post the picture at all . Why not just post you and your husband,” one sniped as they pondered why Emily keeps her offspring’s faces out of the public eye.
“If you don’t want your children to be seen online, then don’t post pictures of them, this is ridiculous,” another fumed. There is now no longer an option to see any comments on Emily’s post, or leave a new one.
Last week, in the midst of her husband’s drama with his ex-wife, Emily opened up about her parenting challenges, as she recently marked her tenth wedding anniversary with Peter.
The 36-year-old GP appeared alongside Sian Welby and Craig Doyle on the This Morning sofa to discuss her latest children’s book, with the chat soon turning to Peter and their brood.
Alongside her fresh publishing project, Emily continues her NHS role, prompting presenter Sian to enquire: “How do you find the time with everything? You’ve got three young children, almost like a step parent as well and you’ve got your job with the NHS, you’re so busy.”
Emily confessed she was no different from other mums and dads, acknowledging she doesn’t ‘always get it right,’ as she revealed: “I think it’s the same like all parents. I feel like I’m juggling all the time.”
“I feel like I don’t always get it right a lot of the time. I try to be the best I can be at home, I try to be the best I can be in whatever work I’m doing.” She concluded by saying: “But you never quite get it right. You just do your best don’t you. I feel like I’m constantly running around.”
Emily has previously expressed her amazement at being wed to the Mysterious Girl hitmaker for a full decade. Peter himself paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife Emily, amidst a heated dispute with his ex-wife Katie.
It followed Peter’s accusations towards Katie of spreading false information about their family dynamics for years. “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today,” he began his extensive statement.
This came after Katie hinted that she had been barred from participating in a recent documentary about their daughter Princess. She then suggested that Peter join her on her podcast to clarify their co-parenting relationship.
In response, Katie issued a lengthy statement: “Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. I know I will always be a Sinner. That’s fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol.
“At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner. I’ve self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love. I’ve had many reasons – I was sexually abused when younger; I’ve had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues – but I don’t want to make excuses.”
Katie continued: “I’ve recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. I’ve pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them.
“I don’t pretend to be perfect by any means – but I’m trying to be the best I can. Then there are the “Saints”. Some are genuine and some have helped me. But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are. They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain.
“Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain… or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don’t get to be the Saint… As a Sinner – I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time. Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it’s ok not to be perfect xxx”
