Overview
- On their Hanging Out With Ant & Dec podcast, Ant McPartlin said being a dad is his greatest achievement and that he would like more children.
- Declan Donnelly called parenthood the best thing ever and said he wishes he had started earlier, joking that he once wanted 10 before saying maybe three.
- Ant and his wife, Anne‑Marie Corbett, welcomed their son, Wilder Patrick, on May 14, 2024, and they have shared only one photo as they keep him out of the spotlight.
- Their comments drew on their family lives, with Ant also stepdad to his wife's two teenage daughters and Dec a father to Isla and Jack with his wife, Ali Astall.
- UK outlets including the Daily Mail, the Mirror and the Daily Record amplified the podcast quotes, reporting chatty reflections rather than any change in family circumstances.
