John Stamos’ wife was only in labour for "20 minutes".
The ‘Fuller House’ star and his wife Caitlin McHugh welcomed their first child, a son named Billy, into the world last week on April 10, and the actor has now revealed that his spouse "breezed through" giving birth in almost no time at all.
He said: "My wife was so beautiful and so graceful through it all, like she does life. I mean, she just kind of breezed through. I hate to tell women, but she did it in about 20 minutes. It happens so fast and then they were like, ‘Take pictures! Grab her leg!’ And then it was over, but it was just beautiful."
The 54-year-old hunk has already had an emotional moment with his newborn son too, as he revealed he started "crying" whilst singing the tot a song.
He recalled: "I woke up this morning and I sang him ‘House at Pooh Corner,’ the Christopher Robin [song]. I started crying. It was great."
John couldn’t be happier after becoming a first time father, as he says everything is "more exciting" now that he’s brought new life into the world.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he said: "It’s more beautiful than I imagined. Everything is more colourful, more exciting. Music, you know, sounds better. He’s just a beautiful little boy."
John announced the news of his son’s birth earlier this week in an Instagram post which featured Billy – who is named after John’s late father – laid on his dad’s chest.
The caption read: "From now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son. Welcome Billy Stamos (named after my father) #NotJustanUncleAnymore #Overjoyed (sic)"
Meanwhile, the former ‘E.R’. actor previously praised Caitlin – who he married in February – for dealing with her pregnancy "like a champ".
He said: "She’s so beautiful pregnant. She’s so magical.
"She is the most graceful person I’ve ever met in my life, and she’s handling pregnancy like a champ. Every day I say, ‘You’re doing so great, you’re doing so great.’
"Just every day I’m with her I just realise, first of all, how lucky I am, but what a special human she is. She’s magical. She floats into a room. I’ve never heard her say a bad word about anybody."
