Peter Andre says he can tell his new baby daughter is 'a true Australian'

Peter Andre shared how he discovered his newborn daughter Arabella is a true Australian.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 51, became a father for the fifth time last month as wife Emily, 34, gave birth to their adorable baby daughter Arabella - their third child following the arrival of daughter Amelia in 2014 and son Theo in 2016. The star also shares 18-year-old son Junior and 16-year-old daughter Princess with his ex-wife Katie Price, 45.

Since welcoming their daughter, Peter and Emily have been sharing little snippets into their lives with a newborn baby. Peter recently took to his Instagram Stories to share his discovery as he took his sleeping daughter on a sunny walk while cradling her to his chest.

Speaking to his followers, the singer said: "I've just realised that my daughter here is a true Aussie because she's sleeping in the Australian timezone. At night here, when it's morning in Australia she's wide awake. And in the morning when it's nighttime in Australia, she's asleep. She's 100% an Aussie."

It comes after Peter discussed the difficulty of returning to Australia to visit his sick mum Thea, who is living with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, despite wanting to introduce her and the rest of the family to Arabella. Thankfully, they met the newborn over a video call, with Peter revealing he calls his mum and dad almost every day.

"It’s amazing what technology offers these days, allowing families to keep in touch," he explained in his column. "When Princess and Junior were younger, the only way they’d really see their grandparents was if we travelled over there. I don’t feel right to leave Emily and the baby just yet to go over and visit, but this way it feels like they’re in the room and allows my parents to see those important first moments."

Writing in OK!, he said: "And they love the name Arabella, which in Greek is pronounced Arvela." In early April, Peter took to Instagram to share a video of Junior and Princess with Thea who was relaxing in a chair as her two grandchildren sat beside her.

He said: "Junior and Princess. The fact that you drove to Somerset to be with us hours before and the days that followed to see the arrival of your baby sister, AND THEN to get on a plane and travel 12,000 miles to be with your grandmother in a very difficult time for her shows me what beautiful children you are. I will never forget this moment. Thank you for being truly amazing. Love you all so much. Keep cuddling mum for me please and tell her I love her and we will come out soon."
