New Dad Brant Daugherty Gushes Over Son Wilder & Revealed A Funny Story About His Birth!

Brant Daugherty shared a funny story about the birth of his son with wife Kim.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the Fifty Shades actor revealed that he actually missed the baby’s birth!

“He’s three weeks old right now…and he’s just incredible,” Brant gushed about the baby boy, they named Wilder. “He’s just the tiniest little nugget of love and happiness.”

He went on, opening up about how he missed the baby’s birth entirely because he was on the set of a movie in Canada.

“The movie ended 2 days after her due date, so we thought, ok I’ll take the film as a way of providing for my family. And hopefully I’ll make it. Cause a lot of first babies come late,” he recalled. But, “He came a little bit early so I unfortunately missed the birth.”

Brant admits that missing Wilder‘s birth was “heartbreaking.”

“I was stuck in a hotel in Vancouver watching on FaceTime as my son came into the world,” he shared. “My sister in law did [the FaceTime]. So bless her heart. She held the camera up for an hour while it all happened.”

The couple shared the news about Wilder‘s birth earlier this afternoon.

Brant Daugherty and his wife Kim are expecting their first child together!

The couple – who star in and co-wrote A Christmas Movie Christmas together – announced the news in People, saying they were “both ready for the next chapter.”

“When we were first dating and thinking about being exclusive, we had a talk about what we wanted for the future. Marriage and kids were high on the list,” Brant said. “It’s exciting to be at this point now, so far along in the plan.”

About telling Brant the happy news, Kim said, “Brant‘s usually a super early riser, but for some reason on that day, he slept in. I was nervously cleaning the house just waiting for him to wake up, but it also gave me time to set up a secret camera to record his reaction. He was overjoyed.” Brant then joked, “I deny that such a tape exists.”

You may recognize Brant from his work on Pretty Little Liars or from Fifty Shades Freed, where he played Sawyer the security guard. In fact, Brant had an idea for a fourth Fifty Shades movie that fans might be into!

Congrats to the happy couple!
