AceShowbiz - Wyatt Russell has become a father for the second time. The 37-year-old actor and his wife Meredith Hagner welcomed son Boone Joseph - a sibling for their two-year-old boy Buddy - into the world last week and they are "overflowing" with love for the tot.
Meredith, 36, shared a photo over the weekend in which she and her husband shared a kiss while the newborn lay on her chest. She captioned the Instagram post, "Boone Joseph Russell. Born Feb 13, a week before his due date. 8 pounds 3 oz of heaven. Hearts overflowing. [heart emoji] (sic)."
A number of the couple's famous friends commented on the post to congratulate the pair on the new arrival. Reese Witherspoon wrote, "Welcome to the world, Boone!" Alison Brie shared a string of blue heart emojis and commented, "Congratulations and welcome, Boone!!" Olivia Munn added, "Welcome earthside little Boone."
Wyatt recently spoke of how "excited" Buddy was to become a big brother. The "Night Swim" actor told Entertainment Tonight, "He's as ready as he can be. I think he understands what's gonna happen. He's a pretty smart little guy. I think we're definitely doing our best to prepare him for the fact that, like, there will be another human being living in our home. But I think he's excited about it."
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" actor - who is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn - previously admitted becoming a dad had changed his priorities and stopped him being interested in winning awards and critical acclaim for his work.
His father told The Rake magazine, "When you're making a movie, I just try to make what we intend to make as good as possible. I have no interest or care about awards."
Wyatt replied in the joint interview, "I have only become that way after the birth of my son. Before him I was concerned with my peers respecting me, but my son was born and I was like, Who cares? It made me double down on wanting to do the best work."
