This is the story of how Josh Radnor met his son, a delightful addition to his life that he shares with his wife, Jordana Jacobs. Two years after tying the knot, the former 'How I Met Your Mother' star revealed that they have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
"A few months ago, my wife and I welcomed a baby into our lives," Josh wrote on Instagram alongside pictures of him and his wife with the newborn. "Here's what we know so far: His smile lights up the room. He's incredibly observant and thoughtful. He gets mesmerized when I play him songs on the guitar."
The 51-year-old added, "He thinks the word 'baba ghanoush' is hysterical. He's a total delight, and Jordana and I are thrilled that he's here."
While expressing his gratitude for the support he's received from listeners of his rewatch podcast 'How We Made Your Mother,' where he appears alongside series creator Craig Thomas, Josh also shared a glimpse into his experience as a new dad.
"Sending love to all my fellow parents of newborns out there," he continued. "What a wild, beautiful, exhausting, heart-opening initiation. So grateful."
Following the news, many stars chimed in with their support for Josh and Jordana's newest addition. Indeed, West Side Story actress Rachel Zegler wrote in the comments section, "CONGRATS FAMILY!!!" Meanwhile, Monica Lewinsky added, "Mazel tov."
Though Josh tends to keep his personal life off of social media, he gave a peek into what it is like to be married to Jordana months after announcing they had gotten hitched. "It's fantastic. I love it," he told People in November 2024. "I know you're supposed to say that, but I actually love it."
As for his favorite part of their time together? "I like the mornings and I like the nights," Josh continued. "We sometimes don't see each other during the day because of work stuff, so I love waking up together and then reconnecting at the end of the day."
