A week and a half prior to Hudson’s birthday, Anstead’s older son, Archie, turned 16.

“I cannot believe the legend@archoansteadis 16!” Anstead wrote in the caption of his Instagram post for the special occasion. He repeated “SIXTEEN!!” with a “mind-blown” emoji.

The post featured a collage of throwback photos of the two over the years, including one of the teen posing in sunglasses and a suit complete with a bow tie.

The rest of Ant’s caption was written to Archie, reading “Archo I am so incredibly proud of you, me doooood! You are BRILLIANT, funny, charming, inspiring, fun and so, so much more! I love you to the moon! ❤️#BestFriendsx x”

Earlier this summer, the father of three spent some quality time with all of his children — something that became difficult for the family during the pandemic.

Anstead shares Archie and Amelie with ex-wifeLouise Storey, who lives with the kids in London. He and exChristina Hallshare joint custody of Hudson.

“Daytime beach. Evening BBQ. Night time s’mores,” he captioned the series of photos. “That’s a pretty SOLID day 🥰”
