    Will Kopelman has become a dad for a fourth time

    The 47-year-old actor and his wife, Alexandra Michler - who already have a two-year-old son called John - quietly welcomed their second son, Hugh 'Hughie', into the world, and announced his arrival via Instagram on Monday (05.01.26).


    Alexandra posted a photo carousel, which included sweet shots of the newborn with his parents, John, as well as his sisters, Olive, 13, and 11-year-old Frankie - whom Will has with his ex-wife, actress Drew Barrymore.

    Alexandra - the director of fashion development for Vogue - captioned the upload with: "Hugh Radcliffe Kopelman. 'Hughie'. 7 lbs 12 oz. So grateful for our little blessing. Wishing everyone health and happiness for 2026."

    Fans of the couple - who met at a dinner party in New York - rushed to the post's comments sections to congratulate them on the birth of Hugh.

    One user wrote: "What a dear little one, congratulations."

    Another person typed: "Congratulations to you all! Love the name. Enjoy this special time!"

    And a third supporter left: "Such a beautiful baby boy. Congratulations."

    According to People, Will - whose four-year marriage to Drew, 50, ended in divorce in 2016 as the pair grew apart - also shared the joyous news on his Instagram account.

    The Intern star penned: "Arrived!!! Hugh ('Hughie') Radcliffe Kopelman, 7lbs, 12oz, mom and baby doing great. Happy New Year to all... (sic)"

    Will and Alexandra did not announce that they were expanding their family.

    However, in October 2025, Will - who, in January 2021, popped the question at his and Alexandra's favourite bridge in Central Park, Manhattan, New York, after a year-and-a-half of dating - posted a video from a babymoon to Italy.

    In February 2023, the couple - who got married in front of family and friends at Sankaty Head Beach Club in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in August 2021 - announced, via Instagram, that they were expecting their first child, John.

    In a photo, Alexandra cradled her bump as she walked with a dog, and she captioned the post with: "The year of boys!! (sic)"

    Will - whose daughters Olive and Frankie acted as flower girls during his and Alexandra's wedding - left three blue-heart emojis in the upload's comments section.
