"Peppa Pig is a big sisterâagain! On Tuesday, May 20, Hasbro (the company behind the fan-favorite Peppa Pig franchise) announced the arrival of Peppa’s newest sibling, a baby pig named Evie. One day prior, the @OfficialPeppa Instagram account revealed to its 1.6 million followers that Mummy and Daddy Pig’s third child was about to make her big debut. “…On the way!” the post’s graphic read with the caption, “Itâs happening! Everybody stay calm đł.” A few hours later, Evie’s birth was officially announced via a British town crier in a video posted with the caption, “On this joyous of days, we announce the birth of our sweet baby girl! âșïžđœ #ExpectingPigChanges.”
Mummy Pig then exclusively spoke to People magazine about her birth experience and welcoming baby Evie into their family. “I’m feeling fantastic. I’m so thrilled Evie is finally here, happy and healthy! I won’t say it was an easy birth, because I’m not sure such a thing existsâoink! But it was all worth it once she was snug and safe in my arms, and the family got to meet her properly,” she shared.
Peppa and George’s mom also shed light on how she and Daddy Pig chose Evie’s adorable name. “It was quite a process to find the perfect name, let me tell you,” she said. “For a while, it seemed like we might just call her ‘Baby’ forever! Oink! But Evie is a perfect fitâit was the name of my Great Aunt, and our little one’s eyes just lit up when we first suggested it, like she knew it was her name already.”
Though Evie was born in the U.K., her first name is also a common name for new babies welcomed by U.S. families this year. While we don’t know if Evie’s cute moniker is a nickname, the full name Evelyn is often shortened to Evie and is currently ranked #8 in the most popular baby girl names of 2025 in the United States.
Mummy Pig also said that while big siblings Peppa and George are thrilled about their new little sister, welcoming a baby into the family will be a big transition for everyone. “It’s an ongoing change for sure! They both take their responsibility as ‘Big Brother’ and ‘Even Bigger Sister’ very seriously,” she explained. “There’s been some wobbles here and thereâsometimes, it can be tricky for little ones to understand that babies need a lot of Mummy and Daddy’s time and attention.”
She added, “However, we do our best to make sure each little one feels loved and seen, even involving them in all things Evie-related… which is usually a lot, until it’s time for a nappy change!” Baby Evie will officially make her on-screen debut on May 30, 2025 in a new movie coming to theaters called the Peppa Meets The Baby Cinema Experience. The hour-long film will be released in 2,600 theaters across 14 countries and tickets are now available for purchase online.
About a month before baby Evie’s arrival, Peppa and her family announced the baby’s sex in an adorable gender reveal video posted on Walmart.com. Later, clips of the big moment were additionally shared on the @OfficialPeppa Instagram account. At the start of the three-minute mini Peppa Pig episode, Peppa can be seen chatting with her younger brother, George, as the two each guess if their baby sibling will be a boy or a girl. Then, the duo’s parents, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, arrive home with a yellow balloon that will reveal the new baby’s sex. “It’s doesn’t matter what the baby is,” Daddy Pig tells the kids before Mummy Pig sweetly adds, “As long as it’s happy and healthy.”
But then, Daddy Pig accidentally lets the balloon go and it floats all the way down the street into the park, attracting the attention of local friends. The group chases the balloon around town until Daddy Pig is finally able to catch it for the big reveal. However, the suspense doesn’t stop thereâwhen the balloon is popped, there’s nothing inside!
Luckily, Mummy Pig’s doctor arrives and explains that she forgot to put the gender reveal envelope inside the balloon. Now we finally learn that Peppa’s new baby sibling is a… GIRL! đ “I can’t wait to meet you,” Peppa adorably tells her little sister in her mummy’s belly as the video ends.
Peppa Pig fans first learned the happy news that Peppa and George were getting another sibling in late February via an Instagram post announcement. “OH BABY, The secretâs out đ€ Mummy and Daddy Pig are expecting baby #3… and are about to be outnumbered! đŒ Newest addition to the family arriving June 2025 đœ âš#ExpectingPigChanges,” a post on the @officialpeppa Instagram account shared. Congratulations to Peppa and her family on baby Evie’s bit debut!
