It comes amid Ant’s custody battle of his beloved chocolate lab Hurley with ex wife Lisa Armstrong.
The former couple adopted the dog in 2013 following struggles to have a child of their own. However the pair split in 2018 after 18 years of marriage.
Lisa shares joint custody of Hurley with Ant but reports say she wants sole possession of him – something he is said to have resisted.
The make-up artist celebrated the pooch’s 11th birthday as she took to Instagram with a sweet post on Monday.
Showing her love for her four legged friend, she shared a series of snaps of Hurley over the years, from as a puppy to now.
She wrote: ‘My Baby Boy is 11!!!… Happy Birthday Hurley you absolute beauty.’
Ant is said to have refused to surrender full custody of Hurley to his ex during their reported £31million divorce battle, reportedly telling lawyers: ‘She can have anything she wants – except the dog.’
Lisa was said to have expressed a wish to care for the Lab full-time in February – and friends close to the make-up artist say that desire is stronger than ever following the birth of Ant’s first-born.

‘She felt very betrayed by both Ant and Anne-Marie and felt that none of this has been handled sensitively, especially the announcement of the baby,’ sources have told The Sun.
‘The one thing that has got her through it and been by her side constantly is Hurley – she doesn’t know what she would do without him. He’s more than just a dog to her and has been a lifeline at times.’
They added: ‘Ant obviously loves Hurley as well but he now has a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in his life and Lisa can’t see why she can’t have full custody of him. She needs Hurley by her side.’
The former couple reportedly agreed to take it in turns to look after Hurley, with the arrangement seeing Ant’s chauffeur ferrying the dog between them so they did not have to see each other.
As well as welcoming his son last month, Ant also unveiled his new tattoo which is a tribute to his family.
