Ant McPartlin's New Fatherhood Celebrated on BGT Semi-Final

Ant, who is 48 years old, and his wife Anne-Marie, who is 46 years old, had a baby boy named Wilder on May 14. Ant shared this happy news on Instagram the next day. During the live semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent, Ant and Dec were in a black cab. Ant said, 'It's finally here, the live semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent.' Dec, who is also 48 years old, suggested checking their checklist to make sure they had everything they needed. They joked about items like nappies and baby wipes, and then revealed their real checklist which included themselves, the audience, dancers, and viewers at home. Simon Cowell, who is 64 years old, congratulated Ant on becoming a dad and expressed his happiness for him. Ant shared a sweet photo on Instagram holding his baby boy, Wilder. This news affected Lisa, Ant's ex-wife, who is 47 years old and childless after their divorce. Lisa wants full custody of their dog, Hurley, but Ant is reluctant to give him up. Ant loves Hurley too, but he has many other responsibilities now. Ant announced Wilder's birth on Instagram, and received messages of congratulations from friends like Jamie Redknapp, Davina McCall, and Alesha Dixon. Ant thanked everyone for their kind messages and addressed concerns about a tattoo that seemed to exclude Hurley's name. He clarified that Hurley's name is indeed part of the tattoo. Lisa, Ant's ex-wife, is reportedly fighting for sole custody of Hurley, but Ant is resisting, as Hurley is very important to both of them. Ant's struggles with alcohol became public in March 2018, two months after his divorce from Lisa, when he was fined for drink-driving after a car crash.
