IN February 2024, it was announced that TV star Ant McPartlin is expecting a child with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
The couple have now welcomed a baby boy. Here we take a look into the life of Ant and his marriage to Anne-Marie.
Ant McPartlin, born November 18, 1975, is an English television presenter, former singer, rapper and actor who is best known for his work alongside Declan Donnelly.
The star first ascended to fame alongside Declan Donnelly in the early 90s after appearing in Byker Grove,
Following their success on the TV show, the pair released the song “Let's Get Ready to Rhumble” under their character names PJ & Duncan - and have enjoyed showbiz success ever since.
The pair are known for presenting popular TV shows such as Ant and Dec’s Saturday Takeaway and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The duo also went on to host SMTV Live and are now Britain’s most successful TV partnership, winning a record 45 gongs at the National Television Awards.
As well as ITV staples like I’m A Celebrity and Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, the duo have also hosted the Brit Awards three times.
Thanks to his success, Ant's net worth is estimated to be more than £60million - which is a long way from the pair’s Byker Grove days where they reportedly earned a sum of £100 a day.
As well as sharing details of his career, the star has also revealed his real height.
The English television presenter stands at 5 foot 8 inches tall.
He is known for his small stature along with best pal Declan, who is 5ft 6 inches.
In 2018, Ant found love with his personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett.
The pair got engaged on Christmas Eve 2020, before marrying the following summer.
The couple tied the knot in August 2021 at St Michael’s Church in Heckfield in Hampshire.
Previously speaking of Anne Marie, Ant said: ‘’She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life to be honest with you. It’s great.”

Prior to this, Ant was married to Lisa Armstrong for 11 years.
However, in October 2018, the former couple officially divorced.
The Britain's Got Talent star has one child with Anne Marie.
He shared the news with a sweet black and white snap of Ant holding their first child.
They captioned the post: "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!"
Just last month Anne Marie looked glowing as she headed home from a night out with Ant hand in hand.
In February 2024, The Sun exclusively revealed that Ant told TV pals he’s going to be a first-time dad at the age of 48.
Anne-Marie, who has two children from a previous marriage, is understood to have had her five-month scan - prompting the happy couple to share their news following weeks of frenzied speculation.
The former personal assistant has two girls from her marriage to businessman Scott Corbett, whom she divorced in 2017.
A source said: ‘’This is the news everyone wanted. Ant and Anne- Marie are beyond delighted.
“It’s no secret that Ant has always wanted children, but that it may never happen for him was something he had, sadly, come to terms with.
“When they found out last year, they were absolutely delighted, but obviously kept the news quiet for as long as possible.
“To be having a child two years short of his 50th birthday, with the love of his life, is the stuff of dreams for Ant.
"He’s already a wonderful, doting father to Anne-Marie’s kids, and together they’re going to be brilliant parents to this latest addition to the family.”
The TV star has also since developed a strong bond with Anne-Marie’s two teenage daughters - raising them as a family in South West London
