The wife is 46 probably being trying for a while https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/ant-mcpartlin-dad-first-time-48-annemarie-corbett-dec-b1138334.html I hope his ex wife is ok I always felt for her.

He must be over the moon. I still haven’t forgiven him for how he faced no consequences appearance wise after his drunk driving ☹️

Gosh. Is he aware he needs your forgiveness still?

LlynTegid · 10/02/2024 19:01

I hope that the pregnancy is trouble free and a healthy baby is born.

LizFromMotherland · 10/02/2024 19:02

Wow, what a passive aggressive thread! 🤣

They're having a baby - but age.
They're having a baby - but ex wife.
They're having a baby - but past drunk driving.

I hope they and the baby will be very happy.

redboots765 · 10/02/2024 19:03

She's 46...wow I don't imagine that's going to easy.

Wictc · 10/02/2024 19:04

I can’t work out if you are happy or not for some man you have never personally known having a baby. You say you are happy, but then there are some backhanded barbs in your post.

Moier · 10/02/2024 19:04

@LizFromMotherland
Well said..l totally agree.
I wish them all the best.
He does have two stepchildren.. but gosh.. bet he's over the moon.

Borris · 10/02/2024 19:05

I feel sorry for the xw too. Doesn't mean he shouldn't move on buts it's quite a kick in the teeth for her Sad

loverrr · 10/02/2024 19:06

I am happy for them, Im sure it wont have been an easy journey & that they will be over the moon.

I also feel sorry for Lisa, I believe they really wanted kids together & it didnt happen- very difficult to come to terms with. This will be salt in her wound for sure.

DiamondGazette · 10/02/2024 19:08

He has openly said in the past that he wanted to be a father and that he and his ex wife had tried unsuccessfully to conceive. I wondered how he felt when his professional partner seemingly had two children without difficulty. Congratulations to both of them.

I doubt Lisa Armstrong is bothered, she moved on a long time ago.

Sorry you found that hard. Both my mum and two aunts had babies at that age (and older!) and it was a breeze for them.

Runnerinthenight · 10/02/2024 19:08

It's a big deal at 46! I imagine they must have had assisted conception of some kind?

OhmygodDont · 10/02/2024 19:13

I mean they must be exited but it’s abit old really. 48/49 when your baby is born. 68/69 by the time they are 20. But at least they have a lot of money to support and protect the child’s future I guess.

Turefu · 10/02/2024 19:17

Congratulations for them both. But I wish tabloids left Lisa alone. Every time , every single time there’s an article about Ant and Anne-Marie, they’re showed as loved up, happy couple. And shortly after another article follows, about Lisa, showing her as bitter ex, who can’t move on from UberAnt. There’s always wedding picture of him and Lisa, remainder they have no children together and Ant handed over to Lisa 30millions pounds. Lisa denied it many times, she didn’t get this money. She had long term relationship from her divorce , successful career. Maybe she came to terms she won’t have a children a long time ago. Yet she’s shown as unhinged ex. Sad , annoying and misogynistic.

LakeTiticaca · 10/02/2024 19:19

Conveniently missed out the bit where he dumped his wife for her best friend, launched a custody battle over the dog, now parading his first Time parenthood. Talk about rubbing the ex wife's nose in it!!

Starlightstarbright3 · 10/02/2024 19:21

good luck to them both .

This exactly . Couples split up . They both can move on with their lives .

Do you think that multi-millionaire Ant and his wife might be able to afford some help around the house?!

All the best to them. A baby is a blessing.

To be fair, the OP is right. If you or me drove your mum's mini like a bumper car whilst twice the limit I doubt you'd get the easy ride he did.

He could afford a 24hr chauffeur, why are some people so tight? Or do they think if they are in the public eye laws are only for the little people?

DinaofCloud9 · 10/02/2024 19:29

I feel for the ex wife as they tried to have a child together. It must be hard for her.

I'm happy for him and his wife though.

littleteapot86 · 10/02/2024 19:30

i'm not a young mum by any means but by the time i'm 46 my kids will be 16 and 12 and i couldn't imagine having a newborn, good luck to them but my god glad it's not me 😂

Roselilly36 · 10/02/2024 19:31

I don’t think his ex wife should be a consideration tbh, she needs to move on, lots of divorced couples go on to have children, their divorce must be 5 or 6 years ago now. When you work out their ages when the child is 18 though, that’s more of a consideration tbh. But I wish them well for a healthy baby and a happy life.

ChanelNo19EDT · 10/02/2024 19:32

Happy for them! I agree that it might still be hard news for his xw

Bingo!

knew someone would come along with the can’t possibly conceive naturally she’s so ancient.

it is perfectly possible.

Perfectly possible but statistically unlikely.

Nothing wrong with noticing that.
