The Geordie duo have been together through all the ups and downs of their lives, with first time dad Ant McPartlin including his long-time collaborator and friend in the happy news
Ant McPartlin has given his best friend and long-time collaborator Declan Donnelly a huge honour after welcoming his first child.
The Geordie presenter welcomed his first child with wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
He made the announcement on social media sharing a beautiful black and white photo of himself holding the latest addition to their family.
However, like all the other times in his life, his I’m A Celebrity co-host wasn’t too far away as he has made Dec his son’s godfather, the Sun reported.
Ant was overjoyed to open up about his baby news as he revealed what he and his wife decided to name their son.
He shared: “He posted: “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.”
Ant and Anne-Marie kept the pregnancy private, however, reports began emerging in February that they were expecting their first child together.

A source told the Sun at the time: “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.”
Anne-Marie was already a mother to two girls before tying the knot with Ant in 2021.
The Geordie presenter is close to his step-daughters and included them in the baby announcement, not only in the caption, but also in the photo.
Fans noticed that he was sporting a large tattoo on his arm, while cradling his new son.
The tattoo of a blooming tree could be seen, with thick roots and many branches breaking off. At the top of three, the name ‘Amzy’ could be seen, which is his wife’s nickname.
Followers could also see three more names, with Anne-Marie’s daughters Daisy and Poppy also included. Ant added their dog Bumble into the mix as well.
It’s not known when he got the tattoo.
