Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong introduces new member of the family in adorable post

BBG News

As a lifestyle expert with decades of personal experience navigating the complexities of celebrity relationships, family dynamics, and pet custody battles, I find myself deeply moved by Lisa Armstrong‘s heartwarming introduction of her great nephew, Baby Bowers. It’s a beautiful moment that underscores the enduring power of family, even when it takes unexpected forms.

On a heartwarming Instagram update shared last Friday, Lisa Armstrong, the former spouse of Ant McPartlin, unveiled a fresh addition to her family.

As a doting auntie, bursting with excitement, I can hardly contain my eagerness to finally meet my precious great-nephew! Here are some heartwarming snapshots of our special moment together that I simply couldn’t wait to share.

She shared multiple images of the tiny child, dressed in an adorable elephant-themed onesie, while expressing her congratulations to the parents. She also mentioned that the child was born on December 26th (Boxing Day).

Lisa posted this message in her caption: ‘Announcing the arrival of baby Bowers. Big congratulations to @morgan.brookex and @bowerz17! What a little charmer he is! Jude John-Noel was born on December 24, 2024, weighing 5 pounds and 5 ounces. I’m so excited to meet you soon, little one!’

For the past 17 years, the stunning brunette has served as a makeup artist on Strictly, creating some of the program’s most memorable and iconic styles.

After returning from Australia following his stint on I’m A Celebrity, Ant, and Lisa separated in the year 2018, ending their 18-year-long marriage.

In 2021, the speaker tied the knot with his ex-assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, and they became parents to their first child, a boy named Wilder Patrick McPartlin, who was born in May.

For years, Ant and Lisa have been embroiled in a custody battle over their beloved pet dog Hurley.

Lisa currently shares custody of Hurley with Ant, however, it appears she desires full custody herself, a situation which he is claimed to oppose.

However, it appears she’s determined to continue the custody battle for her beloved chocolate Labrador, often highlighted on her Instagram with affectionate nicknames like “Mama’s baby boy.

It’s been reported that Ant didn’t agree to give his ex-wife full custody of Hurley in their alleged £31 million divorce case. Instead, he allegedly told his lawyers: “She can take everything she desires – but I won’t let go of the dog.

In February, it was reported that Lisa had expressed a strong desire to take care of the Lab full-time, and sources close to the makeup artist confirm that this wish has only grown stronger since the birth of Ant’s first child.

According to reports from The Sun, she was deeply hurt by the actions of Ant and Anne-Marie, and found the entire situation, particularly the disclosure about the baby, to be insensitively managed.

What has kept her going and been a constant companion throughout is Hurley. She can’t imagine life without him, as he means so much more to her than just a pet, and has served as a vital support during difficult times.

Ant appears to hold affection for Hurley too, yet he’s currently burdened with numerous obligations and personal matters. This is why Lisa finds it hard to comprehend why she can’t be granted full custody of him. What she yearns for is Hurley’s presence by her side.

Originally, the ex-pair apparently decided to share custody of Hurley, where their driver would transport the dog back and forth, thus allowing them to avoid face-to-face interactions.

Apart from bringing his son into the world earlier this year, Ant also revealed a fresh tattoo that pays homage to his loved ones.

As Ant cradled the newborn, the intricate family tree tattoo on his muscled upper arm was exposed. However, some fans accused him of ignoring or slighting Hurley, as his name appeared conspicuously absent from the tattoo’s design.

In a heartfelt message, Ant acknowledged the well-wishes from his fans regarding their newborn child, Wilder. He shared that Wilder is in good health and expressed gratitude for the loving messages they received.

I’m so glad you appreciated the tattoo too! For those of you who wondered why dear old Hurley wasn’t on the family tree, he certainly was! He was simply hidden beneath our newest addition. Sending all my affection, appreciation, and sincere thanks to you. 🐾❤️🌟 A.
