John Stamos, the best uncle on TV (with the best hair), is now a dad in real life. On Sunday, the actor took to Instagram to announce the birth of his first child with wife Caitlin McHugh, along with the most precious photo of their baby sleeping on dad鈥檚 chest while holding onto dad鈥檚 finger.
鈥淔rom now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淲elcome Billy Stamos (named after my father)."
Stamos also included the hashtags #NotJustanUncleAnymore and #Overjoyed.
Billy鈥檚 grandfather passed away in 1989. In December, Stamos paid tribute to his late father with a throwback photo. 鈥淚 will certainly fall short of the father my pop was, but 鈥� I鈥檓 going to give it my all!鈥� he wrote.
Stamos previously told , 鈥淚t kills me that my parents aren鈥檛 here to be part of this, but I know it probably wouldn鈥檛 be happening if they weren鈥檛 up there. You know how you put your father on a pedestal and he鈥檚 a superhero, and then as you grow older, you go, 鈥楢h, he鈥檚 just a man鈥�? I never got to that point. Till the day he died, he was bigger than life to me.鈥� Stamos鈥檚 mom Loretta died in 2014.
Stamos and McHugh, a model and actress, announced their baby news in December 2017 and tied the knot two months later. Stamos proposed at Disneyland in October 2017 after nearly two years of dating. The location was chosen because the Happiest Place on Earth is one of McHugh's favorite places 鈥� plus, she's a Disneybounder, someone who dresses up as Disney characters at the park.
鈥淚鈥檒l be a fun dad,鈥� Stamos told People. 鈥淚鈥檝e been practicing for a long time. I鈥檝e done every schtick you can do with a baby on TV鈥� all the bits and jokes and diaper gags. I鈥檒l probably just do all that stuff.鈥�
