So proud off my little earthlings! I always let out enough rope for them to trip over but obviously never enough for them to hang themselves! If we don’t allow children to make mistakes in life then they’ll never make anything! There is no cotton wool in the real world, so be a responsible parent and prepare them accordingly! Priseïs (my 3 year old daughter) said to me “Daddy, I want to climb that tree” I said ‘Go ahead’... She replied “but I might hurt myself” and I simply answered ‘but you might not’ and up she went! -true story- 💥School starts at home💥#zeronegativity #mindovermuscle #backtoschool #alwayslearning

He said: "I was quite selfish and put my career first for a long time, but I wanted to spend more time at home.

"I used not to write home much. It’s easier just to focus on what you’re doing when you’re out there.

"I had a single-minded attitude towards what I was doing and I was quite selfish really.”

While we don’t know much Emilie, she does have a Twitter account, but last posted back in 2018.

How many children does Ant Middleton have?

Ant Middleton is a father of five children, four of which he shares with Emilie, and a son from a previous relationship.

The couple had their first daughter, Shyla, in September 2007, and son Gabriel in March 2009.

Next came daughter Priseis in September 2015, before youngest Bligh was welcomed in October 2016.
