In a heartwarming and emotionally charged moment, beloved TV presenter Ant McPartlin has welcomed his second child, a baby girl, and couldn’t hold back his tears as he shared the news with the world. Known for his long-standing partnership with Declan Donnelly on “Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway” and “Britain’s Got Talent,” Ant has always been a cherished figure on British television. But today, he’s stepping into the spotlight not as a host, but as a deeply moved father — and the moment has left fans everywhere celebrating.

In a touching post shared on his social media, Ant posted a black-and-white photo of his newborn daughter’s tiny hand wrapped around his finger. The caption read simply:
“Welcome to the world, my beautiful little girl. Finally… I have a daughter 💖”

The emotional post quickly went viral, racking up millions of likes and shares within hours. Fans flooded the comments with heartfelt messages of congratulations, praising Ant for his vulnerability and honesty about the moment.

But the story doesn’t end there. Shortly after the news broke, Ant’s longtime friend and fellow entertainment mogul Simon Cowell did something that left everyone absolutely stunned. According to sources close to the family, Simon sent a jaw-dropping gift to the McPartlin home — a custom-made diamond bracelet engraved with the words “Daddy’s Girl” and a handwritten letter expressing his joy.

The letter reportedly read:

“To Ant – You’ve made us all proud, and I know this little girl will change your world. She’s lucky to have a dad like you. Love, Simon.”

Simon, who is usually known for his tough exterior and sharp critiques, showed a rare glimpse of his softer side. This grand gesture instantly became a trending topic online, with fans gushing over the deep friendship between the two stars. Some even joked that Simon may be preparing to become godfather to the new baby!

Insiders say Ant has been completely transformed by fatherhood — becoming more grounded, introspective, and deeply connected to family life. This is his first daughter, and his second child overall with wife Anne-Marie Corbett, whom he married in a private yet lavish ceremony in 2021.

Anne-Marie, a former personal assistant and now full-time mother, has remained largely out of the public eye but was seen smiling joyfully during their recent outing with the baby. According to a family friend, “She’s glowing, and so is Ant. This baby has brought nothing but pure happiness into their lives.”

Fellow celebrities have joined in the celebration. Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, and even Prince William, a known fan of Ant and Dec, have reportedly sent well-wishes. Amanda Holden commented on Instagram, “Welcome to the Girl Dad club, Ant! She’s going to have you wrapped around her tiny little finger.”
