They believed the number of Emoji love hearts he tagged in his caption was a telling sign a new tot was to come.
Now the Mysterious Girl hitmaker has taken to his New Magazine column to set the record straight.
Peter wrote of the speculation: “I think it’s safe to say that even though we have discussed this many times, we absolutely have our hands full at the moment.
“Emily isn’t pregnant but the amount of food I’ve eaten over the past month definitely makes me feel like I am.”
Peter recently shared a series of sweet snaps showing him reuniting with wife Emily and his kids after spending time in Australia.
At Christmas, he sparked a frenzy after posting a photo of his whole family including kids Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, who he shares with ex Katie Price.
His youngest, Theo and Amelia, were also in the snap, with a total of six family members posing beside his huge Christmas tree.
Peter shared the photo and penned: “I’m the happiest dad/ husband alive this morning.
“Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 🎅 🤶 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️”
Fans said the number of heart emojis Peter used in the caption gave something away.
One said: “Is there sumthing or someone special making an appearance in 2023🍼🍼🥰”
Another penned: “I counted the number of hearts he has put on this and thought the same….”
A third echoed: “Another baby on the way?”
In a recent interview Peter hinted he and Emily are not quite done with having babies yet.
He said: “We do talk about it all the time, but one minute we’re a ‘yes’, and the next we’re a ‘no’.”
