Greek American actor John Stamos is no longer just an uncle, having welcomed his first baby with wife Caitlin over the weekend.
And following Greek tradition, he has named his newborn son Billy after his late father. Bill Stamos was from Kakouri, Greece, a village in Arcadia in the Peloponnese.
The Fuller House actor revealed the news to his over two million fans on Instagram on Monday, sharing a gorgeous black-and-white shot of him doing skin to skin with his new bundle of joy.
“From now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son. Welcome Billy Stamos (named after my father) #NotJustanUncleAnymore #Overjoyed,” he captioned the sweet black and white snap.
The actor was quick to receive messages of congratulations from both his fans and his Full House co-stars.
John, 54, previously admitted that he thought his “ship had sailed” when it came to having children, until he met Caitlin, 32, a model and actress who’s appeared on shows including The Vampire Diaries.
The couple revealed they were expecting their first baby back in December, just two months after their fairy tale engagement at Disneyland. John said in an interview at the time: “The pregnancy happened. Then I said, I better have a ring on her finger because it’s the right thing to do, and I wanted to marry her anyway. So I called her parents to ask, and it was like, ‘You better!’”
“The look on John’s face when I told him we were pregnant was priceless,” added Caitlin. “It was the look of a man who has wanted a family of his own but wasn’t sure it was going to happen for him. Now it is!”
The couple made it official this February in California with a reception held at John’s home and have been preparing for their expanding family ever since.
John was previously married to actress and model Rebecca Romijn.
Ciao for now,
