Jake, who many know from Degrassi, revealed the happy news to his fans on Instagram this week.
“I wanted to introduce you to our new little guy…This is Miles August Epstein. Born May 25, 2023,” Jake wrote, adding, “I’m in total awe of his mama and how she is transforming into this amazing new mum before my eyes.”
He continued, “He’s only been on this planet for 18 days and it feels like I’ve landed in this new alternate reality of life. Being a parent. It’s wild. I’m on no sleep but I couldn’t love this little cuddler, music lover and pooper more. Welcome to the world my guy…”
Vanessa, who is best known from The Expanse and Mrs. America, shared a similar post to her own Instagram feed.
“On May 25 at 4:59pm, Miles August Epstein was lifted into the world and placed on my chest. We got to be cheek to cheek. Then he got to go to his dad,” she wrote in her announcement. “It has been only a couple weeks and yet I swear there is a dimension of time that has wrenched open vertically because it feels like he’s been here for ages.”
Vanessa added, “Holy moly what a trip. Thank your parents if they raised you. This kind of love is so consuming and yet I can’t grasp it with words. Here he is.”
Jake has a new Hallmark Channel movie coming out this weekend with Becca Tobin called The Wedding Contract. Stay tuned for a sneak peek!
