In a move that stunned even the most loyal of fans, TV favourite Anthony “Ant” McPartlin and wife Anne‑Marie Corbett have reportedly welcomed their second child in total secrecy — at what insiders claim is Britain’s most expensive private hospital. And while the couple have yet to make any public statement, one nurse has allegedly let slip the baby’s highly unusual, uniquely British name — and it’s already melting hearts.
🏥 A Private Arrival at the Pinnacle of Luxury
Sources say Anne‑Marie gave birth in late May at The Portland Hospital in London, a world-renowned facility known for hosting high-profile and royal births. The average delivery there can exceed £20,000, with VIP suites tailored to absolute discretion — and it’s rumoured the McPartlins opted for the full concierge birth plan, complete with private security and a separate service wing.
👶 The Name No One Saw Coming
According to an anonymous nurse who worked the maternity ward during the birth, the couple chose a “charmingly rare British name” that has never appeared on baby name registers in the UK before.
“It’s not traditional or trendy — it’s completely unique,” the nurse reportedly shared. “There’s a poetic, almost literary charm to it. The staff couldn’t stop saying it out loud — it’s that lovely.”
While the exact name remains unconfirmed, speculation includes names rooted in nature, British folklore, or even inspired by vintage children’s literature.
🧑🍼 Why So Secret?
Ant and Anne‑Marie famously kept their first child Wilder’s birth low-profile, only releasing a statement weeks after the arrival. Sources close to the couple say the decision to keep their second child’s birth secret was deliberate:
“They wanted complete peace. No cameras, no headlines. Just quiet joy with their growing family.”
🥰 Family of Four
With son Wilder now a year old, the couple are believed to be “ecstatic” about the new arrival. A close friend of Ant said:
“He’s wanted a big family for years. Seeing him like this — calm, content, and quietly proud — is the happiest he’s ever been.”
🍼 What Happens Next?
It’s expected that Ant and Anne‑Marie will share the news with fans in their own time, likely through a soft social media post or a joint statement via ITV. Until then, fans are respecting the couple’s silence — but quietly buzzing about the name reveal.
✅ Final Word
From secret hospital wings to a name that’s taking whispers by storm, Ant and Anne‑Marie’s second baby is already one of the most talked-about arrivals of the year — even if barely anyone knew it happened. In classic McPartlin fashion, it’s not about the fame. It’s about family first, and joy on their own terms.
