Fate Brought Them Together- When & How Emily MacDonagh Met Peter Andre?
In November 2010, while on tour in Taunton, the English singer rushed to hospital after pain, with a due performance at the Plymouth Pavilions. Diagnosed with a septic kidney stone, Peter was treated at Musgrove Park Hospital, where Emily's father, Dr. Ruaraidh MacDonagh, worked.
And as a thank-you gift, Andre gave concert tickets for his show to Mr. MacDonagh, which later then-University student MacDonagh and her mother attended. There, she met Peter for the first time.

After the kidney stones operation, Andre remained in touch with Emily's dad; they had become sort of friends. In February 2012, the Behind the Closed Doors singer and Ruaraidh went on a charitable trip to Zanzibar, accompanied by Emily.
It was reportedly after the trip when he began to fell for Emily.
Challenged Age-Gap: Married Life and Children
Although Emily MacDonagh and Peter Andre remained friends for a few years, they later hit off as a couple. In 2012, MacDonagh began dating the Strictly Come Dancing (Series 13) contestant, who was already a divorcee.
At the Magic Mike premiere, the pair became official during a red-carpet appearance on July 10, 2012.
As reported, Andre proposed to her on New Year's Eve 2013, and following one and a half years of the engagement, the duo married on July 11, 2015, in Exeter's Mamhead House.

Shortly after, they got media attention due to their 17-year age difference- Emily was only 22 at that time, while Peter was 39. Moreover, MacDonagh's father being good friends with Peter (her husband) made the situation quite awkward.
But, in the end, everything went well.
Even more, Emily even has joked on the question about their age gap, stating "I act a few years older and he acts a few years younger so we meet in the middle."
