Ant McPartlin’s Sentimental Family Tree Tattoo
Ant McPartlin, known as one half of the duo Ant and Dec, recently shared a heartwarming moment with fans as he clarified the details of his sentimental family tree tattoo. The TV personality, aged 48, and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett welcomed their first baby, Wilder, into the world earlier this month.
Details of the Tattoo
Ant’s official Instagram post announcing the joyous news included a sweet message: ‘Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!’ Alongside this, a picture of Ant cuddling his newborn revealed a new tattoo in the form of a family tree.
The tattoo featured the names of his wife (nicknamed Amzie), his two stepdaughters Poppy and Daisy, and his two maltipoo dogs, Milo and Bumble. However, fans noticed the absence of Hurley, his Labrador shared with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, leading to some initial confusion.
Clarification and Gratitude
Ant quickly addressed the concerns by sharing a new photo of the tattoo, ensuring fans that Hurley was indeed included in the family tree, albeit partially hidden by the newborn. He expressed his gratitude for the kind messages and love from fans, reassuring them that Hurley’s name was nestled at the bottom left of the tree.
Despite the absence of Lisa Armstrong in the tattoo, Ant is focused on the future, having taken a break from work to prioritize his family and fatherhood. This new chapter in his life has brought immense joy, with a source close to him revealing his overwhelming delight at the new addition to the family.
Other Tattoos
Aside from the family tree tattoo, Ant proudly displays other meaningful tattoos, including a tribute to John Lennon, an AA-inspired design symbolizing his struggles with addiction, a rose and arrow tattoo, and a simple ‘A’ in a loveheart dedicated to his wife.
