Ant McPartlin discusses raising a four-month-old baby
Despite being a high-profile television star, Ant has kept his family life fairly lowkey. However, in a new interview with the Daily Mirror, Ant discussed life as a first-time father.
“I’m really good, I’m really happy. There are lots of nappies and sleepless nights but it’s absolutely wonderful. I’m loving it. It’s been the best year,” he said.
Ant admitted he had been receiving some “good advice” from his co-star Dec Donnelly, who already has two children with his wife Ali Astall.
However, Dec admitted he wasn’t confident in his advice, expressing in the same interview: “I do share tips and things. They’re very bad. My tips are normally: give the baby to somebody else! That’s it.”

After battling fertility struggles with ex-wife Lisa, an inside source told The Sun that Ant was relieved when he found out his second wife, Anne-Marie, was expecting his first child.
“Ant has longed to become a dad for years and being a father figure to Daisy and Poppy has brought him untold joy. When Anne-Marie fell pregnant, Ant was over the moon,” they said.
“They knew they were having a son for some time and Ant is looking forward to taking Wilder to his first Newcastle United game in a few years. For Ant, his family really does feel complete. He is on cloud nine.”
