Emily Andre has melted hearts by sharing a rare and deeply personal glimpse of her daughter Millie as the family celebrated a major milestone — her 12th birthday.
The NHS doctor, who is married to pop star Peter Andre, posted a carousel of never-before-seen snaps documenting Millie’s journey from toddlerhood to confident young teen. The images included family days out at the zoo, holidays, park trips, her first day at school — and more recent moments showing Millie thriving at a cheer competition and bravely tackling a hike.
Emily, 36, used the heartfelt post to praise her eldest child, Amelia “Millie” Andre, for how she has embraced secondary school life after starting in September.
She wrote that Millie has taken the huge transition completely in her stride, grabbing every opportunity and “smashing it out of the park”. Emily added that the family couldn’t be prouder of the kind, confident young person Millie is becoming, describing her as a wonderful big sister, little sister, daughter, friend, niece and cousin.
Millie is the eldest of Emily and Peter’s three children, alongside Theo, eight, and baby Arabella, one. Despite the birthday celebration being shared online, the couple remain firm about keeping their younger children’s faces largely off social media — a decision Emily has previously said she has never regretted.
She has explained that she doesn’t want her children to feel like they are “working” for social media, stressing that the decision will ultimately be theirs when they are old enough to understand the pros and cons. For now, she believes they are simply too young to make that call.
The birthday post also attracted sweet messages from fans — and from Millie’s older half-sister Princess Andre, who commented affectionately on how grown up Millie looks.
Emily revealed she even baked a sensational triple chocolate birthday cake herself, complete with Maltesers and Flake decorations, joking that it went down extremely well in the Andre household.
Peter, 52, has previously spoken about his own concerns regarding children and social media, admitting that the rapid rise of AI has made him more cautious than ever about online images and identity misuse.
The loved-up couple, who married in a fairytale ceremony at Mamhead House and Castle in Devon in 2021, continue to present a united front when it comes to family life — choosing privacy, protection and balance over constant exposure.
