Ant McPartlin has welcomed his first child with wife, Anne-Marie Corbett.

Taking to Instagram, Ant revealed their little one arrived this morning (14 May).

Ant also revealed the baby boy's name - and it's very cute.

"Welcome to the family," he wrote. "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!"

Reports of Anne-Marie's pregnancy broke on 10 February in The Sun.

The publication explained at the time that the couple - who tied the knot back in 2021, three years following Ant's divorce from make-up artist wife Lisa Armstrong - had wanted children for some time and were over the moon to be welcoming a new addition into their family.

An inside source allegedly told the news outlet 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."

The source added that welcoming his child ahead of his 50th birthday in November 2025 is the 'stuff of dreams'.

Ant and Anne-Marie - who has two teenage daughters from a previous relationship - had actually known each other for several years prior to embarking on a romantic relationship, as she'd been his former personal assistant.

Fans were quick to rush in to share their congratulations with one Instagram user writing: "Congratulations, glad family are doing well, enjoy every second."

"Aww congratulations, I’m so happy for you all," added a third while a fourth chimed in: "Congratulations on your little ray of sunshine!"

And a fifth wrote: "Beyond happy for my two beautiful friends and your lovely family."

The duo began dating in 2018 - not long after Ant's separation from ex Lisa.

Breaking his silence over the news of his wife's pregnancy, Ant, 48, hinted at taking a step down from showbiz to be the ultimate doting dad.

Opening up about his and best pal Dec's recently-announced decision to quit their long-standing ITV game-show Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway after over two decades, he told Fault Magazine: "We need to spend some time with our family. We've both got children."
