Just weeks after the end of Modern Family , Jesse Tyler Ferguson is stepping into a new role: doting dad.

A representative for Ferguson told People that the Emmy-nominated actor and his husband, Justin Mikita, became first-time parents to a baby boy Tuesday.

Jesse and Justin welcomed their little bundle of joy Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita on July 7, 2020, the rep said . The new parents are overjoyed and excited for this new journey as a family of three.

Ferguson, 44, first revealed that he and Mikita, 34, were expecting back in January in an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden .

At the time, Ferguson was offering fellow actor Charlie Hunnam advice on turning 40. (Hunnam celebrated his birthday in April.)

Its when you finally become an adult, I feel, Ferguson said at the time . Like, I need to start getting serious about things. Actually, this is something I havent even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but Im actually expecting a baby in July with my husband.
