Ant McPartlin’s ex, Lisa Armstrong, has taken to Instagram with a mysterious message amidst the buzz of Ant welcoming his firstborn.
The Britain’s Got Talent icon and his missus Anne-Marie Corbett, who got hitched back in 2021, spilled the beans on their new bundle of joy via Instagram this Tuesday. They revealed he had given birth to a “beautiful” baby boy.
In a heart-melting monochrome snap showing Ant cradling the tot, the couple also shared the nipper’s name in the post’s caption, penning: “Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am. Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess.”

While Ant’s celeb mates are busy sending their congrats, his former flame Lisa, 47, has dropped a somewhat enigmatic quote on her Insta stories about enduring a “battle”. The message goes: “Be proud of how you have been handling these past few months.

“The silent battles you’ve fought, the moments you’ve had to humble yourself, the times you’ve wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength.”
It’s been six years since Ant and Lisa put an end to their two-decade-long romance. Their split came after 11 years hitched, following a period where Lisa was Ant’s rock as he faced career-threatening challenges due to alcohol and prescription drug addiction and a drink-driving charge in 2018.

Despite dealing with some challenging times, Lisa is seemingly ready for a new beginning. According to an insider who confided in OK! Magazine, over the past few years, Lisa has gone through “a lot of healing over the past few years” and now aims to position herself in a “good place”.
The source divulged: “Lisa knows Ant is ready to move on with the next chapter of his life – she doesn’t want to be angry anymore. She’s done a lot of healing over the past few years and spent so much time being upset and angry about everything.

“It has been exhausting but she has done a lot of work on herself. It seems everyone is having a fresh start with the end of the show and Ant’s new chapter in his life, so Lisa wants to make sure she’s in a good place.”
