In Disney+’s latest series, The Crossover, the teenage intricacies of first love, drama, and aspiring stardom reign supreme on and off the court. Based on the critically acclaimed best-selling verse novel by Kwame Alexander, who also serves as the TV adaptation’s creator, EP, co-writer and co-showrunner, the series follows the lives of two teen brothers, Josh (Jalyn Hall) and Jordan Bell (Amir O’Neil) as they navigate life’s many uncertainties from boyhood to manhood. Though primarily focused on the boy’s relationship with basketball, a sport engrained in them at birth thanks to their former professional basketball-playing father (Derek Luke), the series unabashedly tackles serious issues regarding teenage rebellion, self-discovery, disability, and mental health challenges.
Alexander Skarsgard Confirms He and Girlfriend Tuva Novotny Welcomed Their 1st Baby
21.03.2023 - 18:03 / usmagazine.com
Dad life! Alexander Skarsgård confirmed that he and his girlfriend, Tuva Novotny, recently welcomed their first child together.
“Thank you very much,” the Succession actor, 46, told Entertainment Tonight on Monday, March 20, when congratulated on the growth of his family. “I got this on the red carpet,” he added, showing off a stuffed animal given to him by an attendee at the Succession season 4 premiere.
When the reporter asked if Skarsgård is “enjoying the process of being a father,” the True Blood alum replied, “I am, yeah.”
The Sweden native and Novotny, 43, were spotted pushing a stroller in New York City in November 2022, but the duo had not publicly commented on the birth of their child. The Annihilation actress debuted her baby bump in April 2022 while attending a Swedish awards ceremony.
The couple’s little one is Skarsgård’s first child and Novotny’s second. The Eat Pray Love star shares daughter Ella, 16, with Nicolai Bjerrum Lersbryggen.
During a 2017 interview with Chelsea Handler, the Northman actor revealed that he was excited to become a father at some point in the future. “I wanna beat my dad, he had eight,” the Big Little Lies alum quipped, referring to his actor father, Stellan Skarsgård. “I better get cracking. My dad is 65 and he had a kid four years ago. I’m born in the ’70s. My dad had kids in the ’70s, in the ’80s, in the ’90s, in the 2000s and the 2010s.”
The Dune actor, 71, shares Alexander, Gustaf, 42, Sam, 40, Bill, 32, Eija, 31, and Valter, 27, with ex-wife My Skarsgård, whom he divorced in 2007. Stellan and second wife Megan Everett are the parents of sons Ossian, 13, and Kolbjörn, 10.
Alexander said that growing up with so many siblings could be chaotic, but he wouldn’t have had it any other way.
