LISA Armstrong has shared a cryptic message on ‘silent battles’ as ex Ant McPartlin announced the birth of his son.
The proud dad took to social media to share a snap of his baby boy as he revealed his name to the world.
Ant, 48, said: “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!”
However, Lisa – who finalised her divorce with Ant in 2018 – posted a cryptic message following the happy news.
She reposted a quote that read: “Be proud about how you’ve been handling these past few months.
“The silent battles you’ve fought, the moments you had to humble yourself, the times you’ve wiped your own tears.
“Celebrate your strength.”
Yesterday The Sun exclusively revealed how Lisa, 47, placed her five-bed mansion she once shared with Ant on the market.
Lisa was handed the keys to the semi-detached property as part of her divorce deal from Ant.
It also has three bathrooms and two cloakrooms, and she has reportedly been renting it out.
Britain’s Got Talent host Ant and Anne Marie Corbett first started dating in 2018 before marrying in 2021.
Back in February The Sun revealed that the couple were going to become parents together for the first time.
Anne Marie has two children from a previous marriage.
