Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong breaks silence on baby news with cryptic message

Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong has broken her silence over the TV presenter becoming a first-time dad. Ant welcomed a beautiful baby boy with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett on Tuesday.

Announcing the arrival of their son, they wrote: “Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born 05/14/24 at 8:54 a.m. Baby is beautiful, mom is a legend, sisters are over the moon. Dad is in mess.”

Ant and Anne-Marie, who married in 2021, were quickly inundated with messages about the celebrity pals’ social media post. Lisa Armstrong, 47, also appeared to respond to the news with a cryptic social media post as she reflected on “silent battles”.

The quote read: “Be proud of how you handled these last few months. The silent battles you fought, the moments you had to humble yourself, the times you wiped away your own tears. Celebrate your strength. “

Ant and Lisa have ended their marriage after 11 years together, the Mirror reports, with their public divorce a huge talking point. The 47-year-old stood by her estranged husband in light of his 2018 drink-driving conviction, which nearly ended his career.

Despite their rocky marriage, Lisa is reportedly looking to the future for a fresh start. A source recently told OK! Magazine that Lisa has done “a lot of healing over the past few years” and wants to make sure she’s in a “good place.”
