Despite the wonderful news, when Ant shared that Wilder had been born, his post did raise a few eyebrows. Fan wondered why Ant didn’t include Hurley when he unveiled his arm tattoo and announced the arrival of son Wilder.

The ink is a family tree design, including the name of his wife, Anne-Marie’s daughters Poppy and Daisy, and their dogs Milo and Bumble.

However, some social media users weren’t impressed with Hurley being left out. Consequently, Ant quickly offered an explanation.

He described to X: “For all you dog lovers who asked why my beloved Hurley wasn’t on the family tree..he was!! He was just covered by our newborn. All my love, gratitude and heartfelt thanks, A.”
