"We're in awe ... we can't take our eyes off him!" he told People.
The couple revealed in March that Courtney was expecting, and they found it hard to keep her pregnancy a secret after everyone on the set of his new series Partners kept asking him about it. "Everyone on set keeps asking, 'Do you have kids?' And I've had to say, 'Well, not yet!' It's the truth. The baby hasn't been born yet!" he said.
Courtney - who is known for her roles on True Blood and Parenthood' - admitted she had used a number of excuses, such as food poisoning and flu, but they only worked "for so long." She added, "It started getting difficult to hide what was happening. Flu and food poisoning excuses only work for so long, and by the last episode I could no longer button my pants! I just tried to joke that I had a big lunch."
