Together, the duo share two other children, Amelia, 11, and eight-year-old Theo.
Peter, 52, also shares two kids, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with ex-wife Katie Price.
Yet before they had their own children, and medic Emily was propelled into the step mum role, she told how she slept separately from the popstar for a year.
Talking of their blossoming relationship she said: "It sort of built slowly, because I think I wouldn't expect to step into that role immediately.
"And I was young as well, you know, so I think we were always really cautious in the beginning about how much I was around.
"And we joke about this now with the kids, it's so funny, but we didn't share a bedroom for the first year that we were together.
"Because, when the kids were there… he wanted to be respectful.
"And I actually really admired that at the time, that he always would put them first in everything.
"I thought that was really lovely."

The pair instantly kicked it off as friends.
At that time, Peter's high-profile divorce from Katie Price in 2009 had driven him to concentrate on being a good father to his children Princess and Junior.
In 2012 they finally went public with their relationship at a Magic Mike premiere.
FAMILY LIFE
In the candid chat, she also admitted the real reason the couple won't have any more children.
On the same Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher in which she opened up on sleeping arrangements, Emily discussed plans for more children - and why it won't be on the cards for them.
She said: 'It's absolutely cemented now.
"We always said it would be the last anyway. Five's enough, we don't have any more bedrooms in the house for starters."
And there's a reason behind this decision, after a traumatic birth with baby Arabella.
Emily explained: "I had weird complications all the way through. She was breech. I've had two breech babies.
'She nearly made it to 38 weeks, and I haven't really spoken about her birth and what happened afterwards because it was so hard and awful. It was tough. I was really unwell after she was born, there was quite a lot of complications."
Emily went on to explain that she'd developed a really rare type of hernia that was quite large and required an operation.

Tom Hiddleston's fiancée sets record straight on wedding claims and reveals ‘toxic paragraphs' from family members
Zawe Ashton has been with the Marvel star for over six years TRUTH TIME Tom Hiddleston's fiancée sets record straight on wedding claims and reveals 'toxic paragraphs' from family members Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE MARVELS star Zawe Ashton has set the record straight amid rumours she's secretly married long-time love Tom Hiddleston. The famous couple have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, going public for the first time in 2021 after a rumoured two years of dating. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Zawe has cleared up her relationship status with longtime love Tom Hiddleston Credit: Splash 5 The couple call each other 'husband and wife' though aren't married Credit: Getty It's known the pair got engaged in 2022, the same year they welcomed their first child together – and it was confirmed earlier this year they were expecting their second. When the announcement noted Tom as Zawe's 'husband', rumours started circulating that they had secretly tied the knot. This week, Zawe joined longtime pal Miquita Oliver on her Miss Me? podcast, clearing up the speculation – and revealing even family members had believed it, sending her upsetting messages in the process after 'not being invited'. She told Miquita: 'We've been engaged for a long time. There are … I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already.' READ MORE TOM HIDDLESTON CAM'S ALL BOOKED UP Camilla rubs shoulders with Hollywood stars at Buckingham Palace bash 'Those text messages were very … there's some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way!,' she added. 'Like 'uh, okay, no invite? Whatever.' It's like, no, no, no. It didn't happen! We didn't do it in secret. We haven't eloped.' Despite the pair not making it official, Zawe did note that the pair do call each other husband and wife, which may have been where the confusion came from. She added: 'It's just a semantics thing. I think at some point you're like 'girlfriend, boyfriend' … with a kid and another one on the way? Does that feel right?' Zawe – who first shot to fame on Channel 4 sitcom Fresh Meat in the early 2000s – added that for some reason it 'p***ed off married couples' that they call each other husband and wife without actually getting married. Tom and Zawe have been running in similar social circles throughout their career, and were first photographed at a friendly event in 2018 celebrating the career of Harold Pinter. Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton discuss their roles in hit Harold Pinter play Betrayal Shortly after, the pair were cast alongside each other in a play by the same famed playwright, Betrayal, portraying husband and wife Robert and Emma. After a West End run in 2019, the show was transferred to Broadway, with the pair reprising their roles – during that time, it was noted they had got close. They finally went public with their first official outing as a couple at the Tony Awards in 2021. Since then, Zawe joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Marvels' villain Dar-Benn. Tom famously plays Loki within the same film world, though their characters have never crossed on screen. 5 Tom and Zawe worked alongside each other in 2019 play, Betrayal 5 Zawe is now an official member of the MCU after appearing in The Marvels Credit: �2023 MARVEL.

Bombshell book claims Jeffrey Epstein called Prince Andrew a serial sex addict and said he was kinkier than himself
The explosive claims come alongside fresh allegations about Andrew's conduct on royal tours 'SEX OBSESSED DUKE' Bombshell book claims Jeffrey Epstein called Prince Andrew a serial sex addict and said he was kinkier than himself Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Andrew has been branded a 'serial sex addict' in a bombshell new book — with Jeffrey Epstein reportedly claiming the Duke of York was even kinkier than him. The shocking allegations appear in 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York', which the disgraced royal reportedly tried to block.

'From the reports I've got back from the women we've shared, he's the most perverted animal in the bedroom. 'He likes to engage in stuff that's even kinky to me – and I'm the king of kink!' The explosive revelations come alongside fresh allegations about Andrew's conduct on royal tours. A Reuters correspondent reported that, during the King of Thailand's diamond jubilee celebrations in 2006, more than 40 women were taken to Andrew's Bangkok hotel room. 'Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive,' the reporter said. Hotel staff were reportedly stunned that 'more than 10 a day' were going to the Duke's suite. The exposé portrays the 64-year-old royal as a man consumed by sex, with claims from an investigative journalist that he has bedded over a thousand women, ranging from porn stars and actresses to palace staff and bartenders. Prince Andrew has never been more toxic - the public hate him and NONE of the royals back him either One 20-year-old model, who says she twice slept with Andrew before being whisked to Mustique, recalled: 'He wanted me to engage in kinky sexual activity. 'He had no boundaries. He told me he had an open marriage arrangement with his wife. 'After returning to London, I never heard from him again. I felt like he used me for a few days, so he could live his wildest fantasies.' Masseuse Emma Gruenbaum, who worked on him at Royal Lodge, alleged Andrew was a 'constant sex pest,' insisting on being naked for massages and making crude remarks. 'That's just not normal behaviour for a professional sports therapy session," she said. The book also recounts disturbing tales from palace insiders. One former staff member claimed: 'When I started, I was warned to stay away from him. 'He would sometimes enter the staff quarters. 'It seemed everyone was aware of his behaviour, but little was done about it.' From his 'Randy Andy' schoolboy reputation to being accused of bullying aides and humiliating women at society events, Andrew is painted as both sex-obsessed and arrogant. Aides alleged he once had an employee moved because of a mole on his face, while another was sidelined for wearing a nylon tie. 9 Disgraced paedophile Epstein died in prison in 2019 Credit: Splash 9 Prince Andrew with bikini girls as he holidayed on the French Riviera in 2002 Credit: The Mega Agency 9 The Duke of York on holiday in Sardinia in 2010 Credit: MCP 9 The Duke meeting with Thailand's Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra (left) in 2006 Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The York family reportedly tried to block the book, warning contacts not to cooperate and enlisting the Foreign Office to discourage diplomats from speaking. Despite legal threats, the exposé has gone to print — leaving Andrew once again at the centre of a storm of sleaze and scandal. It comes as a top lawyer warned that Andrew may not be in the clear despite the FBI dropping its probe into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. Spencer Kuvin, who has represented five of Epstein's alleged victims, said the Duke of York, 65, still has reason to worry after six years of avoiding travel abroad for fear of arrest. 'I still don't think Andrew can sleep soundly,' Mr Kuvin said. 'With the quick change of administration or new leadership at the Department of Justice, the investigation could be reopened or continued. 'Andrew needs to visit the US to answer questions from the FBI. Avoiding this merely makes people think he's guilty.' Andrew has always denied claims by Virginia Giuffre that he abused her when she was 17, insisting he never saw or suspected Epstein's crimes. Giuffre died in Australia in April at the age of 41. There is no statute of limitations for federal sex crimes in the US, meaning allegations could be revived at any time. Andrew has not set foot in America since meeting Epstein in New York in 2010.

Confirming who would be covering him on Instagram, Jason revealed that Brit star John Bishop would be the man covering the job. Penning an announcement on Instagram, Jason said: "John Bishop to the rescue or my slot at @kendalcalling on Sunday afternoon on the main stage! "Might not be beating out Assembly Bangers in so grateful for yet another dear friend rallying round helping me out in an hour of need." It was accompanied by a video clip in which John said: "Some of [Jason's] shows have been cancelled but one that can't be cancelled is Kendal Calling. "He's asked me if I'm free and I am so I'm gonna step up and fill Jason's boots at Kendal Calling." An insider added to The Sun of the festival shake-up: 'Everyone is so grateful to John for stepping in - festival organisers and staff are excited to see his set." Jason has been forced to cancel a string of his performances after undergoing an operation. Just days ago, the 44-year-old cancelled another gig just HOURS before he was due to entertain crowds. He was set to perform as part of his A Manford All Seasons tour in Hertfordshire on Wednesday. Jason Manford left furious after being forced to share hotel room Organisers confirmed that those who purchased tickets would be able to attend an upcoming show in October. It was later revealed that Jason had been admitted to hospital owing to ill health. Taking to Instagram, Jason revealed he had been dealing with Appendicitis. According to the NHS, Appendicitis is " swelling and infection in your appendix (part of your bowel)" - and causes pain in the lower right side of the abdomen. Jason captioned his post: "Appendix surgery all went well, now in recovery with my Vimto, they serve it in all Manchester hospitals. "Bit of a scary & extremely painful 24 hours but thankful to our NHS & my incredible nurse mum who's a godsend in a health crisis! "My advice would be to not get Appendicitis whilst driving at 70mph on the motorway! "Seriously though, I'm gutted that I've had to move the dates this weekend, and I'm sorry for the late notice to so many people in St Albans, Oxford, Lincoln, Skegness & at Kendall Calling." He added: "I thought I could get by on antibiotics and surgery at a later date so I could still do the shows, but was advised not to. "Also means I can't fly out to Portugal on Monday to join my family on holiday! Ah well, such is life."
