Paul Anthony Kelly has become a dad

Kelly, 43, said: "You just became a dad!"

Paul replied: "I did, yeah. Thank you so much."

The host asked the Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. + Carolyn Bessette star if he has felt more tired since becoming a dad, to which Paul admitted: "A little bit, yeah. That's, like, an understatement, for sure."

The model did not reveal the identity of his and Syd's child.

In December 2025, Paul - who married Syd in May 2023 - revealed that he and his wife found out that they were expecting a child on the day of his producer callback for Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. + Carolyn Bessette.

And he shared that their newborn was due on Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's birthday - January 7.

Paul told Interview magazine: "When we finish filming, my wife and I need to go back home and start nesting.

"The baby comes in January. Originally, the baby was estimated to come January 7, which was Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's birthday."

Recalling when Syd told him they were expecting a baby around the time he was cast as John F. Kennedy Jr., Paul said: "February comes around, and I felt pretty good about it, but casting said they were reading other gentlemen for it.

"I was like, 'OK, that's fine. Whatever. A few months go by, and near the end of April, I got an email from my agents. Casting wants to see me again to do another tape.

"Twenty minutes later, I got another email, and they're like, 'We're just going to go straight to the producer callback.' We're in Portland. That's our home base now, my wife and I.

"So I do the Zoom, and right before we're about to go for dinner for our second wedding anniversary, she tells me we're pregnant. May 1 was a big day."

He continued: "The next day, I got a phone call from my agent. They want to see me for a chemistry read with Sarah [Pidgeon], who was already cast as Carolyn, the following week.

"The stipulation was that I had to have my green card before then. The phone call came on Friday. Saturday, I got my green card. Sunday, I booked my ticket."
