Emily Andre: The LA-Style Multitasker You Didn’t See Coming

Emily Macdonagh, better known as Emily Andre, isn’t just your average NHS doctor grinding away in a hospital ward. This 35-year-old powerhouse is a mum-of-three, a social media star with nearly 715,000 followers, and married to pop icon Peter Andre since 2015. Together, they’re raising Amelia, Theo, and Arabella, plus Emily’s stepkids, Junior and Princess, from Peter’s past marriage to Katie Price.

But wait, there’s more to this West Coast energy! On top of her packed sched, Emily’s been penning books like she’s scripting the next big Hollywood blockbuster. Her latest, Incredible Things Your Body Can Do, hits shelves in August 2025, and she’s already dishing the deets to HELLO! about parenting in the digital age, her creative process, and the stuff that keeps her up at night.

From the outside, she’s got that Malibu mom glow, but dig deeper, and you’ll see a fierce protector navigating the wild world of fame and family with a Cali-cool edge.

Social Media Scares: A Hollywood-Level Thriller

Emily’s no stranger to sharing cute family snippets online, but when it comes to her kids’ privacy, she’s got stricter rules than a VIP club on Sunset Boulevard. During her chat with HELLO!, the convo naturally drifted to Netflix’s gritty drama Adolescence, which dives into social media, misogyny, and the toxic manosphere through the eyes of a 13-year-old boy. It’s the kind of plot that could be ripped straight from an LA true-crime doc.

“I haven’t watched it yet, honestly, because it straight-up terrifies me,” Emily confessed. “I know the vibe of the show, and with a kid around that age, I’m just not ready to face what we’re up against in this online jungle.”

Her eldest, Amelia - affectionately dubbed ‘Millie’ - recently got her own phone, but Emily’s running a tight ship. Millie’s screen time is locked down to just one hour on Saturdays and Sundays, with zero social media access. Emily’s not playing around when it comes to shielding her crew from the internet’s dark side, and she’s even hit up Parliament with Peter to push for smartphone bans for kids, starting with schools. Talk about a power couple with a cause!

Empowering the Next Gen: Emily’s Bookish Mission

Emily’s not just about laying down the law - she’s all about lifting her kids up, both online and IRL. Her upcoming book, Incredible Things Your Body Can Do, is geared toward little ones aged three and up, packed with colorful illustrations and thought-provoking questions to get those young brains buzzing. It’s all about teaching physical and emotional health with a side of SoCal sunshine vibes.

At home, Emily keeps the dialogue open, encouraging her kids to ask anything without shame. “I tell them, ‘We’ve all got bodies, they work the same way, so don’t be shy,’” she shared. “It starts with family, then spills into schools and beyond.” This doc-turned-author is on a mission to make health convos as casual as a Venice Beach boardwalk chat.

Seeing her name on Amazon still feels like a red-carpet moment for Emily, a self-proclaimed bookworm who’s now on her fourth published work. Her kids, though? They’re hilariously unfazed - even if she became the Prime Minister, they’d probably just ask what’s for dinner. Still, they’ve been part of the journey, especially Theo, who played mini-editor for her latest project, giving feedback on every page.

What’s Next for This SoCal Star?

Emily’s creative streak isn’t slowing down anytime soon. While she’s keeping the details under wraps tighter than a Hollywood premiere guest list, she teased that book number five is already in the works for an early 2025 release. Aimed at a slightly older crowd, it’ll keep pushing health and wellness for young folks - a topic she’s clearly passionate about.

Her fam’s involvement in her writing adds a sweet, personal touch to her hustle. From Theo’s editorial assists to the kids’ nonchalance about her author status, it’s clear Emily’s building an empire with heart - and a whole lotta LA-style grit.

Grab Incredible Things Your Body Can Do now, and stay tuned for more from this multi-talented mom who’s juggling it all like a pro surfer riding the waves at Huntington Beach. What’s your take on her parenting rules or book vibes? Drop us a comment!
