Peter’s daughter Savannah Phillips, whom he shares with his ex wife Autumn Phillips, was spotted sporting a VIP credential with her aunt Zara on Saturday. HOLA! USA‘s sister brand HELLO! reported that it understands both of Peter’s daughters, Savannah, 14, and Isla, 13, were on the trip, along with his girlfriend Harriet Sperling‘s daughter.

This is a driving force in me to do as much as possible to help where I can. Athena arrived healthy, a few weeks before her due date. She was so tiny it took more than a few weeks for the tears of relief to dry and for life with our healthy baby to feel real. Her feet were so small – almost the same size as the paws on one of my older daughter’s soft bunnies.”

Looking back over those months of sheer worry, I am filled with a sense of determination that more can be done to help others find answers to those questions around the complications that can lead to preterm birth – questions that defined my days (and nights) during pregnancy.”
Edo celebrated his wife opening up about their daughter’s premature birth, writing on Instagram: “So much pride for my beautiful wife, who has bravely shared our story of Athena’s early arrival. Also for her support and patronage for the incredible organisation @bornecharity, which provided us with invaluable help during that challenging time. 💕 .”
