As Ant McPartlin embraces life as a devoted new dad to baby Wilder, he’s relying on best pal Declan Donnelly for support - and the pair are already planning play dates!
The award-winning presenters, who first bonded on the set of nineties classic kids TV show Byker Grove, have been inseparable for the last 35 years.
And as Ant now enjoys the happiest time of his life, there’s already a new “little Ant and Dec” pairing in the making. The 48-year-old presenter announced on his and Dec’s joint social media account last week that his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, had given birth on 14 May to Wilder Patrick McPartlin, a very welcome little brother for Anne-Marie’s daughters, Poppy and Daisy.
The new dad and stepdad - who wrote, “Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!” alongside the gorgeous black-and-white photo of him and Wilder - has already reportedly given Dec, also 48, the important role of godfather to his son, cementing their bond even further. “Dec is obviously so excited for Ant and has already been giving him advice - mainly how to deal with sleepless nights,” a source tells OK!. “He can’t wait to take on the role of godfather and he’s promised to take his duties very seriously.” Our source said Ant, who was previously married to makeup artist Lisa Armstrong, “always” planned to make Dec godfather to any biological children he might have - and Dec’s son, Jack, has Anthony as a middle name - in a nod to daddy’s best pal.
