Overview

  • On the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, MacDonagh said consultants had never encountered the rare hernia that emerged a week after Arabella’s birth and required emergency surgery
  • She confirmed she and Peter Andre will stop at three children, noting both medical concerns and a lack of spare bedrooms as decisive factors
  • MacDonagh responded to Katie Price’s claim of being barred from Princess Andre’s 18th birthday and documentary by stressing she views herself as a big sister rather than a replacement mother
  • To balance respect and unity in their blended household, the couple initially slept in separate rooms and uphold distinct rules for their older and younger children
  • Reflecting on her year-long recovery, MacDonagh praised her family and the medical team for their support in helping her regain her health
