Ant McPartlin's emotional reunion with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong was a tearful moment of realization as they bid farewell to their beloved dog, Hurley. The couple, who have not been on speaking terms since their divorce in 2018, came together after Hurley's sudden illness. Despite their acrimonious split, they managed to put aside their differences to say goodbye to their 12-year-old chocolate Labrador. Hurley, who was at the center of a custody battle, played a pivotal role in bringing them together once more. The source revealed, 'The one thing they both loved was that dog. The dog brought them together and was like an anchor.'
Lisa, who has been struggling to move on from the bitter breakup, expressed her grief through a heartfelt poem, 'Rainbow Bridge', dedicated to Hurley. Meanwhile, Ant, who is now happily married to Anne-Marie Corbett, jetted overseas to mourn the loss of his beloved dog. The couple's friendship was tested by the custody battle, with Ant allegedly stating that his ex could have 'anything but Hurley'. However, they managed to find common ground in their love for Hurley, and the source hopes that Hurley's passing may help heal past wounds.
Lisa's love life has been a rollercoaster, with recent reports of her split from boyfriend Grant Kilburn. Her Valentine's Day post, a tongue-in-cheek poem, hinted at a pop at her former flame and possibly Ant. Despite the emotional turmoil, the source believes that Lisa is finding solace in her sense of humor and is able to laugh about her situation. The couple's bond with Hurley was undeniable, and his passing has left them both struggling with grief. Hurley's loyalty and companionship were a source of comfort to Ant during his battles with addiction, and his loss is a crushing blow.
