Stepping out with his pregnant wife, Ant McPartlin radiated anticipation for his impending debut as a father. The 48-year-old Britain’s Got Talent host held hands with Anne-Marie Corbett as they strolled to The River Cafe in London for lunch. Accompanying the couple were Jamie Redknapp and his wife, Frida Andersson.
Anne-Marie, 46, exuded contentment as she cradled her growing baby bump. Despite already being a mother to two children from her previous marriage, this pregnancy marks McPartlin’s first experience as a father.
In preparation for the life-altering journey, McPartlin and his long-time co-host, Declan Donnelly, recently announced a hiatus from their beloved ITV show, Saturday Night Takeaway. The decision was driven by their desire to dedicate more time to their respective families.
Body language expert Judi James observed a dynamic between the couple during their lunch outing. Anne-Marie appeared relaxed and delighted, while McPartlin exhibited some signs of anxiousness. James noted that while holding Anne-Marie’s hand, McPartlin’s grip was more protective than affectionate, reflecting his anticipation of becoming a father.
McPartlin’s excitement for his new role was evident as he turned to look at Anne-Marie’s bump, his grin conveying both pride and a sense of communication with his unborn child. Anne-Marie’s due date is fast approaching, with the couple eagerly awaiting the arrival of their third child.
McPartlin, who has two stepchildren with Anne-Marie, married his former personal assistant in a picturesque ceremony in 2021. His path to marital bliss has been marked by both challenges and triumphs. After his separation from makeup artist Lisa Armstrong in 2018, he found love with Anne-Marie just six months later, sparking media attention and speculation.
Despite the whirlwind of rumors, McPartlin has steadfastly maintained that there was no infidelity or overlap in his relationships. He has also emphasized the importance of avoiding judgment of others’ relationships based on limited information. Sources close to the couple have clarified that Anne-Marie played no role in the breakdown of McPartlin’s previous marriage, and similarly, McPartlin was not responsible for the failure of Anne-Marie’s own marriage. Before becoming Mrs. McPartlin, Anne-Marie worked as McPartlin’s personal assistant and was the mother of two girls from her marriage to businessman Scott Corbett.
