John Stamos, the beloved actor known for his heartwarming roles, is diving headfirst into the world of fatherhood. Just a few days into this incredible journey, Stamos is absolutely glowing with joy. The proud dad, along with his wife Caitlin McHugh, welcomed their newborn son, Billy, earlier this week. In an emotional conversation with Ryan Seacrest on April 19, Stamos couldn’t stop raving about his new role in life. “It’s absolutely beautiful having a baby. You absolutely have to experience it, Ryan!” he exclaimed.
In a heartfelt moment during Ryan Seacrest’s On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Stamos shared the deep significance behind his son’s name. Billy was named in honor of John’s late father, who Stamos describes as his lifelong hero. “My dad was my hero, and I hope I can live up to everything he stood for,” Stamos revealed, his voice trembling with emotion. Losing his father in 1998, Stamos feels a profound connection to this legacy now being carried forward by his son. “He was larger than life to me, and I’m so proud to honor him with our little Billy,” he added, his voice breaking as he fought back tears. “I’m getting so emotional right now, Ryan!”

At 54 years old, Stamos has always dreamed of becoming a father, but now that it’s finally happening, he feels an overwhelming sense of fulfillment. “I’ve always said I wanted a kid, but people are probably tired of hearing it. It just took time, and I think I was waiting for the perfect partner, and boy, did I find her,” he told Ryan. He also shared a funny story about Billy’s quick arrival, crediting Caitlin’s grace throughout the process. “Her delivery was about 20 minutes—can you believe that? Our little Billy popped out looking just like Don Rickles,” he joked, adding a touch of humor to the heartfelt moment.
On Monday, April 16, John took to Instagram to share the very first photo of Billy, cradled against his chest. In the caption, he expressed the depth of his joy and gratitude. “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,” he wrote, capturing the essence of his newfound happiness. While he didn’t reveal Billy’s exact birthdate, the post was filled with love and excitement for the future.
In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, Stamos reflected on how his late parents would have adored Caitlin. “I know my parents are smiling down on us. They would have loved her so much. She’s such a gentle, kind, and graceful soul, and I can’t wait to see her as a mother,” he said, his admiration for his wife evident in every word. John and Caitlin announced their pregnancy in December 2017, tying the knot in February 2018, and they’ve been on a whirlwind journey of love and preparation ever since.
