Peppa Pig and George welcome their new baby sister Evie as Mummy Pig gives birth to a girl

Peppa Pig is a big sister for the second time. The famous British children's show announced that the family has welcomed a new addition on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. The news of the baby's birth came months after the animated series made the announcement in February 2025 that Mummy Pig was expecting.

In April, the show revealed the baby's gender: a girl. The show has been keeping fans and followers anticipating the birth via its social media, and on May 20, its official Instagram account shared a video of a town crier ringing a golden bell and sharing the news of Peppa Pig and George's baby sister, Evie Pig.

Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold announced on the UK news talk show on Tuesday some details about Evie's birth. He said that she was born at the Lindo Wing of London's St. Mary's Hospital at 5:34 in the morning, local time. It was the same wing where Catherine, Princess of Wales, gave birth to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

She also said that while there have been some "wobbles here and there" as the family settles into a new dynamic with the new baby, Peppa Pig and George are taking their "responsibility as 'Big Brother' and 'Even Bigger Sister' very seriously."

Peppa Pig's new baby sister Evie was named after her great-grandmother

In her interview with People, the animated show's Mummy Pig shared that, besides the struggle of giving birth to Evie Pig, picking a name for her also took some time. She said that they even considered just calling her "baby" because they couldn't settle on a perfect moniker for her, that is, until the name "Evie" came along. Evie is a family name, as Mummy Pig shared:

"Evie is a perfect fit—it was the name of my Great Aunt."

She also said why they settled on naming the new baby Evie, besides the fact that it's an ode to Peppa Pig's great-grandmother. It turns out that Evie herself liked the name. Mummy Pig told the outlet that her eyes lit up when they first called her the name, "like she knew it was her name already."

She also said that the new baby takes from her 'Big Brother' and 'Even Bigger Sister," saying she's "as curious and excitable as Peppa" and "as playful and funny as George." Baby Evie, she added, also shares the same love of music as Peppa Pig and that she would "jiggle and giggle along" no matter what.
