“Absolutely over the moon to announce that we will soon be welcoming a little one into this crazy and wonderful world,” the 43-year-old actor captioned a pair of photos of him and Meyer.
“We ask that you please respect our privacy during this celebratory time for us and our families. There truly is love out there for all. We hope ours is the ember of yours, as we feel yours is the ember of ours.”
