Peter Andre has shared admiration about his wife Emily MacDonagh

Peter Andre has shared admiration for his wife Emily MacDonagh following her comments about social media.

Emily, 34, has previously said that she "didn't feel ready to tackle" such platforms until she was in her thirties and didn't launch her Instagram account until 2020, for example. She's also shared concern as a parent about cyberbullying.

The doctor is a parent to Millie, nine, and Theo, seven, with her husband Peter, 50. Emily and Peter - who are expecting another baby together, due in the coming months - do not show their two children's faces on such platforms.

Peter reflected on Emily's admission in his column for New! magazine. He said she talked about not having social media accounts "until she was in her thirties" whilst promoting her newly-released book Healthy Mind, Happy You.

Discussing the situation, Peter - who has been married to Emily since 2015 - wrote about his wife: "I really admire her for making that decision and I often think we should all have reservations when it comes to things like that."

He added in his weekly column for the outlet: "I didn't have social media until I was in my forties - I used it a lot for work but I'm part of a generation who is still learning about it. It's important to find a balance that works for you."

Emily spoke about social media to OK! magazine recently, sharing concern about her kids having accounts in the future. She said: "I'm concerned it might get to the stage where bullying might occur if you don't have [a phone], even though there's the worry of cyberbullying. I'm stuck between wanting to protect them but not excluding them."

Discussing her experience, Emily said that she'd been "frightened" of what people could say and how it would affect her. She said that she didn't sign up until she "had the confidence" to feel comfortable with people having their opinions. She added: "It does worry me exposing the kids to something I didn't feel ready to tackle until I was in my thirties."
