ANT McPartlin’s wife Anne-Marie Corbett delivered their son at a posh hospital with a royal connection, The Sun can reveal.
The Britain’s Got Talent host told pals he’s “beyond thrilled” after becoming a dad for the first time aged 48.
His wife Anne-Marie, 46, gave birth to their son Wilder at the London Clinic on Tuesday – the same hospital where the King and Princess of Wales received treatment for cancer.
Insiders said Ant had made his best pal Declan Donnelly his son’s Godfather, after Dec made Ant the Godparent to his and Ali Astall’s two children, Isla and Jack.
Ant and Anne-Marie chose to have their son at the London Clinic, which is just over seven miles from the home they share with her daughters Poppy and Daisy in Chiswick.
Since he started dating Anne-Marie, Ant has become a devoted step-dad to her children.
Ant confirmed Anne-Marie had given birth on Tuesday and shared a photograph of him cradling baby Wilder on Instagram.
He said: “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!”
Ant and Anne-Marie got together following his split from Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist Lisa Armstrong in 2017.
The pair had been married for 11-years before their marriage ended with a bitter divorce the following year.
Ant handed over £31million of his estimated £50million fortune to Lisa as a part of the settlement.
Before they started their relationship, Anne-Marie worked as Ant’s personal assistant.
Ant will not return to work until May 27 when the Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finals begin.
