Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong 'agree to share custody' of dog Hurley in '£31m' divorce deal

One of the most contentious parts of Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong's bitter divorce battle seems to have finally been resolved — the custody of their dog Hurley.

The former couple, who ended their marriage in 2018, have reportedly agreed a deal to share their beloved chocolate Labrador.

They have been fighting over who would keep Hurley since their break-up two years ago, with both parties desperate to have the pooch full time.

A source told The Sun: "Neither of them could live without Hurley so they agreed to share custody.

"His welfare will now be their primary concern."

The agreement is said to be part of their mega-bucks divorce deal, with reports suggesting Lisa has handed a £31 million  pay out.

She's also said to be keeping the £5 million mansion in West London where they lived together as a couple.

However, Lisa has denied the claims and branded the reports "nonsense".

A source told The Sun : "Ant and Lisa agreed to settle and sign their divorce agreement during a productive and civil meeting on Tuesday.

"Ant made a very generous settlement that works out to be more than half of everything that he has.

"He is delighted because it means he can put what has been a very difficult chapter in his life behind him and move on."

Lisa and Ant were happily together for 23 years.

They were married in 2006 and announced their break-up in 2018.

The pair got a divorce in a 30-second hearing last October.

It was claimed their relationship crumbled because of Ant's battle with alcohol, their gruelling work schedules and the couple growing apart from each other.

Ant has since moved on with his ex personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett.

Mirror Online has contacted reps for Ant and Lisa for comment.
