Hollywood star Luke Wilson has become a father for the first time with his partner Kendall Yates, 24.
The 54-year-old actor revealed he is 'very proud' of his new role, which has fulfilled a long-held ambition.
Wilson made the news public while attending the premiere of his new Netflix television series The Hawk, alongside Will Ferrell.
The couple has not disclosed their baby's name or sex, but they have been linked since 2023 and made their public debut at the premiere after-party for Kevin Costner's movie Horizon: An American Saga in June 2024.
Wilson has long spoken about wanting children after watching his older actor brothers, Owen Wilson, 57, and Andrew Wilson, 61, embrace fatherhood.
The couple brought their new baby to a press reception in Newport Beach, California, earlier in the week, amidst reports they had welcomed their first child together.
Wilson is best known for roles in films including Legally Blonde and The Royal Tenenbaums, and has spoken for several years about hoping to have children of his own.
Appearing on Conan O'Brien's late-night show in 2020, Wilson said he was excited to be a fun uncle and get along great with his nieces and nephews.
He joked about becoming a father later in life, referencing the late actor Anthony Quinn, who welcomed a child as an older parent.
Wilson has previously dated Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, and is part of one of Hollywood's best-known acting dynasties, alongside his brothers Owen and Andrew.
The Wilson family is known for its close relationship, with Luke speaking about treating children as adults and enjoying their brutally honest nature.
Owen Wilson is also a father of three children, while Andrew Wilson is thought to have a son with former partner Nnogo Obiamiwe.
