“It’s just what everybody says about it, but I’m just trying to do a good job,” Wilson, 54, told Entertainment Tonight<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/i>at the Thursday, July 9, premiere of The Hawk<\/i>. “I’m very proud to be a dad.”<\/p>\n

News broke earlier this week that Wilson and Yates, 24, quietly welcomed a baby<\/span><\/a> and later brought their little one to a Tuesday, July 7, press event for Wilson’s new show The Hawk.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wilson and Yates, who never publicly revealed that they were expecting a baby, have been romantically linked since 2023. They made their public debut the next year at the June 2024 premiere party for Horizon: An American Saga.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wilson and Yates have not publicly revealed the infant’s name or sex, but the actor had long expressed his hopes to expand his family after seeing brothers Owen <\/b>and Andrew Wilson <\/b>become dads themselves. (Owen, 57, shares son Robert with Jade Duell,<\/b> son Finn with Caroline Lindqvist<\/b> and daughter Lyla with Varunie Vongsvirates<\/b>, while Andrew, 61, is the dad of a daughter.)<\/p>\n

“I think I am a fun uncle,” Luke said on a 2020 episode of Conan O’Brien<\/b>‘s late-night show. “I get along great with [their kids]; they are really fun kids. I mean, during this pandemic, I did have a, kind of, Shining-type moment with Owen’s son Ford, where I was saying, \u2018You know I love you, Don’t you, Ford? You’re a good boy.'”<\/p>\n

He added at the time, “”I get along great with those guys, they’re great little kids and definitely the kind that make me want to have some kids of my own, which I should get on sooner rather than later.”<\/p>\n

Luke, however, was admittedly wary about welcoming kids himself at an advanced age.<\/p>\n

“I mean, Anthony Quinn<\/b>, he had a child when he was 80. I just don’t want to be one of those dads that has to pay somebody in the neighborhood to throw the football with his kid [when] he can’t,” he quipped. “I feel like I see here and there in L.A.”<\/p>\n

Two years later, Luke gushed that he continues trying to be “a pretty good uncle”<\/a> to his nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n

“I try, for better or worse, treat them as adults [and] as equals,” he said during a 2023 interview with The Knockturnal<\/span><\/a>. “I’ve always gotten along with my brother Andrew and my brother Owen’s kids. \u2026 The best and worst part of being around kids is they’re just so brutally honest at all times.”<\/p>\n
