After years of heartache, public scrutiny, and lingering reminders of a turbulent past, Lisa Armstrong has finally taken the dramatic step of severing all ties with ex-husband Ant McPartlin. The make-up artist, admired for her resilience and quiet strength, has accepted an offer for the former marital home in West London – widely regarded as the “last link” to a relationship that brought more pain than joy.
The lavish five-bedroom property, which had languished on the market for over two years, finally sold for £3.2 million, a substantial drop from its initial £4 million listing. Friends say Lisa is over the moon, describing her relief that “the last remnants of her marriage have finally been put to rest.” Purchased in 2006 for £2.3 million, the house had seen its own share of drama, including a devastating fire in September 2023 that caused over £1 million in damage. Despite the setbacks, Lisa persisted, renting it out in the interim before finally securing a buyer.
Adding to the emotional weight of this sale was the recent death of Lisa’s beloved dog, Hurley, a 12-year-old who had been at the center of a custody battle with Ant during the divorce. Hurley’s passing symbolically closed one of the last chapters connecting her to her ex. In the years following the split, Lisa or her mother Linda would meet with Ant to exchange custody of the dog – small moments that were constant reminders of a life she had long since left behind.
Lisa and Ant’s divorce was finalized in January 2018, just two months before Ant caused a serious car crash while heavily over the drink-drive limit. The incident resulted in fines totaling £86,000, a 20-month driving ban, and a subsequent stint in rehab. Ant has since moved on with his former assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, and the couple now share a young son, Wilder, born on May 14 last year.
Since her divorce, Lisa has rebuilt her life in spectacular style. With a reported £31 million settlement from Ant, she has invested wisely in property, buying a house near Oxford for over £700,000 in 2024 and a £3.8 million West London mansion in 2020. Her growing property portfolio stands as a testament to her independence, resilience, and determination to move forward.
For Lisa, selling the former marital home is more than a financial transaction – it is a symbolic act of closure, a statement that the past is behind her. Friends describe her as “thrilled” and “relieved,” while fans have flooded social media with support, praising her courage, her grace under pressure, and her ability to reclaim her narrative from one of showbiz’s most talked-about marriages.
As the West London property officially changes hands, Lisa Armstrong steps confidently into a new chapter: free from the shadows of a turbulent past, embracing independence, success, and the life she deserves. This is not just a story of heartbreak – it’s a story of survival, triumph, and the ultimate act of reclaiming oneself.
