The Radford Reborn host, 44, and the Bridget Jones actress, 54, have been in the UK visiting his two older children, Amelie, 19, and Archie, 16, but returned to Los Angeles on Friday to be reunited with his son, Hudson.

Taking to Instagram, Ant shared a snapshot of the adorable moment as he lay in bed reading to the three-year-old who had placed a tender arm around his daddy's shoulder. "From GB to rushing home last night for," he wrote before adding a heart and kiss emoji.

Fans loved the insight into his bedtime routine and commented: "His little arm around his Dad's neck," and, "Ahhh, look at his little arm wrapped around you," while a third added: "So sweet."

His second marriage, to Flip or Flop's Christina in 2018, resulted in the birth of their son Hudson in 2019. The couple divorced in 2021.

Meanwhile, Renee tied the knot with singer Kenny Chesney in May 2005, but they split just four months later. Opening up about the reason for the short marriage, he confessed to Oprah Winfrey in 2010 that everything important to him in his life is in a box that he protects, but said his relationship with Renee "was out of the box."

Speaking about not being ready for marriage, he added: "It really is tough, and she's a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn't ready... This is the first time I've actually talked about it, but that's what happened."
