In a surprising twist to their famously private lifestyle, Anthony McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett are rumoured to have booked a luxury private island clinic in the Maldives — and sources say it might be tied to a top-secret birth plan that’s left even close friends guessing.
🏝️ A Luxury Clinic Shrouded in Secrecy
According to sources familiar with high-end celebrity travel, the couple recently secured a two-week exclusive stay at Veya Private Wellness Island, an ultra-discreet medical retreat offering personalised care, spa recovery suites, and full-service maternity facilities hidden behind dense tropical foliage.
“They didn’t want a hospital. They wanted a sanctuary,” one insider claimed.
“The booking was made under a non-disclosure agreement. Even the staff didn’t know who the guests were until the final confirmation.”
🤰 A Pregnancy Never Confirmed — But Always Suspected
While neither Ant nor Anne-Marie has publicly confirmed a pregnancy, speculation has swirled for months, especially after Anne-Marie abruptly withdrew from public events and Ant was spotted shopping alone for tiny white onesies and organic baby care items earlier this spring.
Fans noticed Anne-Marie had disappeared from the red carpet since late March, and a recent photo of Ant wearing a pastel wristband with a baby-themed charm sent rumours spiralling further.
🔇 Silence Is the New Statement
The couple’s tight-lipped approach is nothing new — their 2021 wedding was kept fiercely private until well after the event. But the secrecy around this potential new arrival is said to be even more intense.
“They don’t want headlines. They want peace,” says a longtime friend.
“This child, if it’s happening, will be welcomed into the world quietly and gently — no photo shoots, no interviews, no cameras.”
📦 Unusual Packing Details Fuel the Fire
Airport staff in London confirmed the couple travelled with two medical-grade coolers, a travel bassinet, and what appeared to be emergency care supplies — far beyond standard holiday fare.
“You don’t pack sterilised kits and birthing pillows for a snorkeling trip,” one observer quipped.
👀 Public Reacts with Warm Speculation
Though Ant and Anne-Marie haven’t commented, fan forums have lit up:
“If they’re having a baby in the Maldives, that’s the most Ant-and-Anne-Marie thing ever — understated, gentle, beautiful.”
“I love how they’re doing this their way. If this is true, I’m so happy for them.”
⏳ What Now?
There’s no confirmed due date, no official birth announcement, and absolutely no media access. But if rumours prove true, we may be just days — or even hours — from the quietest, most beautiful celebrity baby arrival of the year.
Stay tuned. The island may be private — but the love story unfolding there is hard to miss.
