Amid reports her ex Ant McPartlin is set to become a dad for the first time, Lisa Armstrong is determined to start over in LA
She posted a series of cryptic messages following reports that her ex-husband, Ant McPartlin, has confirmed to friends that he is expecting his first child with his wife, Anne-Marie Corbett.
And pals say Lisa Armstrong, 47 – who was married to the 48-year-old BGT host for 12 years – is now preparing to finally make a move to LA before the baby’s arrival, believed to be in June.
FLOORED
A source says, “Lisa has understandably been hit hard by the news and, despite preparing herself after weeks of rumours, has been completely floored by the reality; the man she desperately tried to start a family with for so long is getting his baby dream with another woman.
“To make matters worse – a woman she’d once thought was her friend.
“Lisa has toyed with the idea of moving to LA for a while now, but after hearing the news she’d been dreading, she’s decided to set her plan into motion and uproot before the baby comes.
“Having to look at pictures of them playing happy families – with the possibility of a pregnancy publicity shoot and another one upon the baby’s arrival – is too much for her to bear. She’s determined to get out of the UK and make a fresh start Stateside, away from all this heartache.”
Insiders previously told Closer how the make-up artist – who has described LA as her “happy place” – was considering a move following her 2018 split from Ant after 23 years together.
Six months after their shock divorce announcement, she fled to California when Ant’s romance with her former pal and PA, Anne-Marie, 46, went public – leaving her feeling “betrayed” as she told one fan on Twitter, “To think she was MY friend”.
