“She felt very betrayed by both Ant and Anne-Marie and felt that none of this had been handled sensitively, especially the baby announcement,” the sources said. Sun.
“The only thing that has gotten her through it and has been by her side constantly is Hurley. She doesn’t know what she would do without him. To her, he’s more than just a dog and has been a lifesaver at times.”
They added: “Ant obviously loves Hurley too, but he has so many other responsibilities and things going on in his life right now and Lisa doesn’t understand why she can’t have full custody of him. She needs Hurley by her side.”
The former couple reportedly agreed to take turns caring for Hurley, with the arrangement including having Ant’s driver transport the dog between them so they wouldn’t have to see each other.
Ant’s problems with alcohol only became public in March 2018, two months after he and Lisa divorced, when he was involved in a car accident and charged with drink driving, for which he received an £86,000 fine.
