A close pal told us: “Ant and Amzie are in a magical place right now, in their own little loved-up bubble.
“He’s not even thinking about TV work at the moment, he’s just loving life – and it’s so great to see.”
Ant and Anne Marie, who got married in 2021, announced their happy news on Instagram.
The pair posted a snap of Ant holding their baby boy on Ant and Dec’s page.
They captioned the post: “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!”
The Sun exclusively revealed that Anne Marie delivered their son at a posh hospital with a royal connection.
After weeks of speculation The Sun revealed that the couple were going to become parents together for the first time back in February.
Ant candidly told of his dreams of becoming a dad eight years ago in a hugely emotional interview.
Almost a decade ago, paternity leave was on his mind.
Back then, the Saturday Night Takeaway frontman spoke exclusively to The Sun’s TV Mag and said: “In five year’s time, I definitely see kids and all that in my life.”
He added to us at the time: “You realise what’s important in life.
“We appreciate time off more and try to build in family time.
“In your 20s and 30s you are working so hard and you want to be the best you can be but when you come into your 40s you want to pursue different things.”
Ant’s sweet nickname for wife Anne Marie was revealed when they shared their exciting news.
In the snap of him having skin-to-skin contact with his newborn son Wilder, the Geordie star showed off his huge tattoo.
Taking pride of place at the top of the tree was a banner with the word ‘Amzie’ inside.
The shoulder inking’s details caught the eye of fans, who noticed tributes to his stepdaughters Poppy and Daisy as well as his beloved wife.
Ant and Anne Marie started dating in 2018.
They tied the knot in 2021.
