Ant McPartlin Breaks Silence on Newborn’s Birth, Addresses Fan Mystery

Following the birth of his son Wilder, Ant McPartlin took to social media to clear up any confusion after fans were left feeling “confused”.

The Britain’s Got Talent host has welcomed a beautiful baby boy with his wife of three years, Anne-Marie. Ant announced the news via social media with the caption: “Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born 14/05/24 at 8:54am. Baby is beautiful, mum is a legend, sisters are over the moon. Dad is a disaster!”

The 48-year-old also shared a touching photo of his tattoo, in tribute to his wife Anne-Marie Corbett and two daughters, Daisy and Poppy. However, it left fans with plenty of questions.

In the image, Ant’s tattoo depicts a huge blossoming tree with the names of Amzie (presumably for his wife of three years, Anne-Marie), his two stepdaughters, Daisy and Poppy, and Ant’s two pooches, Milo and Bumble. But one name was missing: that of his other dog, Hurley.

Ant has now addressed his tattoo and allayed his fans’ concerns. He said: “I’m glad you liked the tattoo too. For all the dog lovers who asked why my beloved Hurley wasn’t on the family tree… he was!! He was just covered up by our newborn. All my love, gratitude and sincere thanks A.”

When Ant and Anne-Marie, who married in August 2021 and first met when she was his personal assistant, announced the news, friends rushed to congratulate the couple. Davina McCall wrote: “Argggggghhhhhhhhh!! This is AMAZING!!!! Congratulations to you ALL.”

It was reported earlier this year that the couple were expecting their first child together and, according to The suna source previously commented on the baby news.

“This is the news everyone has been waiting for. Ant and Anne-Marie are beyond thrilled. It’s no secret that Ant always wanted to have children, but sadly had to accept that it would never happen.”

“When they found out last year they were absolutely delighted, but they obviously kept it a secret for as long as possible. Having a baby two years before his 50th birthday, with the love of his life, is a dream come true for Ant.”

“He is already a wonderful and loving father to Anne-Marie’s children, and together they will be brilliant parents to this latest addition to the family.”
