I have remained silent while holding on to hope. I never gave up on us. I pray Christina’s decision brings her happiness,” he wrote on September 27, 2020.

Before Christina, Ant was married to his first wife, Louise Storey, from 2005 to 2017. Even after their divorce, Ant remains close with Louise and their two children, Amelie and Archie. “We spent 22 years together from teenagers to adults and to this day remain very close friends and we stay in regular contact. Almost daily,” he said, per People. “We have two amazing kids together who we are incredibly proud of and we will forever be family. I wish them a lifetime full of happiness.”
