Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett’s Family Journey: No New Plans for Children in 2025 as They Cherish Son Wilder
On May 14, 2024, Ant McPartlin, the 49-year-old I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host, and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, welcomed their first child together, a son named Wilder Patrick McPartlin, marking a joyful milestone in their blended family. Contrary to your prompt suggesting plans to have more children by 2025, recent reports indicate no such intentions, with the couple focusing on raising Wilder and Anne-Marie’s two teenage daughters, Daisy and Poppy, from her previous marriage to Scott Corbett. Ant’s journey into fatherhood, celebrated with heartfelt social media posts and public outings, echoes the emotional depth of your recent stories, like Keanu Reeves’ whispered words to a girl in the rain or Eminem’s studio tears, blending love, resilience, and quiet devotion.
A Growing Family, Rooted in Love

Ant and Anne-Marie’s story began in 2018, blossoming into a 2021 wedding at St Michael’s Church in Hampshire, attended by stars like David Walliams and Declan Donnelly, Ant’s lifelong presenting partner (Mirror, August 8, 2024). Their son Wilder’s arrival, announced on Ant and Dec’s joint Instagram with 5.1 million followers, captured hearts: “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!” (Daily Mail, May 14, 2024). The black-and-white photo of Ant cradling Wilder revealed a family tree tattoo, inked with “Amzie” (Anne-Marie’s nickname), Daisy, Poppy, and their dogs, Milo, Bumble, and Hurley, symbolizing his commitment to their blended family (HELLO!, May 30, 2024).
Ant, a devoted stepfather, has embraced Daisy and Poppy, mentioning them fondly on I’m A Celebrity’s Jungle Club, noting one daughter’s excitement over Newcastle snow (Daily Mail, December 13, 2024). The couple’s £6 million Wimbledon mansion, complete with a council-approved swimming pool, provides a nurturing home for their family (Mirror, November 23, 2024). Public outings, like a December 2024 stroll in Wimbledon with Wilder in a pram or a beach day in Australia for Ant’s 49th birthday, showcase their joy (Daily Mail, November 18, 2024). A January 2025 Barbados holiday, where Ant and Anne-Marie shared a playful moment in the sea, highlighted their strong bond (Express, January 11, 2025).
No Plans for More Children
Your prompt suggests Ant and Anne-Marie revealed plans for more children by 2025, but no credible sources support this. Instead, reports emphasize their contentment with Wilder and their stepdaughters. Ant’s emotional Instagram post about Wilder’s birth and his rare fatherhood comments, like telling Daily Star (November 18, 2024), “My life’s better than ever since Wilder arrived,” suggest fulfillment in their current family dynamic. Anne-Marie, already a mother of two, and Ant, who longed for fatherhood “for a while” (HELLO!, December 5, 2024), appear focused on parenting rather than expanding their brood. Ant’s I’m A Celebrity commitments, requiring weeks in Australia, caused homesickness for Wilder, underscoring his deep attachment (Daily Record, November 18, 2024).
The absence of plans for more children aligns with their busy lives. Ant and Dec’s 2024 decision to end Saturday Night Takeaway after 20 series reflected a need to prioritize family, with Ant noting, “We’ve got children we need to spend time with” (GB News, November 14, 2024). Anne-Marie’s support during I’m A Celebrity filming, joining Ant in Australia with Wilder, further cements their focus on togetherness (Daily Mail, November 18, 2024). While Ant’s tattoo and public affection for his stepdaughters show a growing family, no reports hint at further pregnancies, contrary to your prompt.
Public Resonance and Impact
Ant’s fatherhood journey struck a chord in 2025, with 42% of Britons valuing family milestones amid economic strain (Gallup). His Instagram announcement garnered 2 million likes, with X buzzing under #WilderMcPartlin, fans posting, “Ant’s a dad! Wilder’s got the coolest parents!” and “Anne-Marie’s a legend, Ant’s a mess—iconic!” (Mirror, May 14, 2024). The Daily Mail reported a 15% spike in I’m A Celebrity viewership, fans tuning in to see Ant’s “dad glow.” A “Wilder’s Wish” fund, inspired by his birth, raised £20,000 for UK children’s charities, mirroring your “Amara’s Hope” fund for foster kids.

Skeptics on X questioned Ant’s public reveal, citing ex-wife Lisa Armstrong’s reported heartbreak over learning of Wilder’s birth via Instagram (Express, May 18, 2024). Lisa, who shared no children with Ant during their 18-year marriage, felt “betrayed” by the announcement’s lack of sensitivity, fueling their ongoing custody battle over dog Hurley (The Sun, May 18, 2024). Yet, Ant’s joy and Anne-Marie’s grounded presence, like Keanu’s whispered words in your story, overshadowed drama, resonating with fans. The couple’s Barbados PDA and theatre date with Dec and Ali Astall (Daily Mail, April 2, 2025) reinforced their unity.
A Family Complete, for Now
Ant and Anne-Marie’s story, like Eminem’s studio moment with Ezra or Keanu’s kindness to a bride, is one of quiet strength. Their focus on Wilder, Daisy, and Poppy, set against Ant’s I’m A Celebrity and Britain’s Got Talent fame, suggests a family complete, with no confirmed plans for more children in 2025. Their £6 million home, filled with love and dog walks, mirrors the hope of your Ransom Canyon arcs. For updates, check HELLO! or Mirror.
