When it comes to celebrity mothers, we don't think you can get much more publicly doting and caring than Emily Andre.
The NHS doctor and her musician husband Peter Andre, whom she married in 2015, are the proud parents of three children, Amelia, Theo, and Arabella, but also look after Junior and Princess, the children he shares with his ex-wife, Katie Price.

I guess it's a different approach with teenagers, but in many ways, it's about being open and allowing them to come to you. It's a tough balance to get right and no one's perfect. But we do our best."
However, with their closeness, it's been difficult for the 35-year-old to adjust to some changes as Junior and Princess have got older.
In a clip from the 16-year-old's titular series, Princess Diaries, she and her older brother discuss not living together anymore, but it's Emily's sweet response in the Instagram comment section that especially caught our attention.
"Awww guys [heart emoji]," she penned. "The empty room is weird for sure! [sad face with tear emoji]."
Peter and Emily's home life
With five children, things can be a little hectic in the Andre household, but it seems that, this time, they won't be welcoming any more into the family.

"This time, we're pretty sure it's going to be our last one," he stated, though he refused to deny any possibility.

Peter and Emily's parenting style
Though the pair approach things differently, they make sure to respect each other's techniques and boundaries, as Emily revealed in an interview.

"Then what's the point in him doing it if I then criticise it? So I never [do]. I always, always try not to do that just to let him do it his way as their parent as well."
She concluded: "I think this is really important, that if you're going to work as a team, they have to give you autonomy, and you have to give them autonomy as a parent as well."
