“Glee” Star Matthew Morrison Is Officially a Daddy and His Son Has the Most Unique Name

“Glee” Star Matthew Morrison Is Officially a Daddy and His Son Has the Most Unique Name

It’s a boy for Mr. Schue! After seven years of serving as a role model to the fictional students of William McKinely High School, Glee’s Matthew Morrison has taken to the ‘Gram to make the big announcement that he’s now got a babe of his own to teach, as the 38-year-old has just officially become a daddy.


The actor announced that wife Renee was with child to People back in May, saying, “I’m so excited and I just want to be the best father I possibly can… The fact that it’s half me and half the person that I love most in this world…I’m so excited to meet our child and to see what he or she looks like, and to see what features of my beautiful wife that he or she has.”

That time has finally come, with the Tulip Fever star giving us our first glimpse at his new little tyke and revealing his very unique name in the process.

“To my newborn child, Revel James Makai Morrison,” he began. “Your mama and papa got this! Trust in us to guide and protect you always. To lay the tracks so your choo choo will run smoothly throughout this world. You will have all the tools to soar!” he promised. “We love you and are so thankful for your arrival. The adventures are just beginning.”

We got an even better look at the beautiful babe from Renee, who shared a photo of the infant in all his wide-eyed wonder as captured by photographer Issac Cohen.

...let the celebrations begin!... it is so wonderful to come home to family, friends, love, laughter, good food, and lots of glorious little baby presents!!!! This is such an incredibly emotional time, as you can see in one of these photos 😭 I don't think I have ever shed so many tears of pure joy than I have during this pregnancy... I have already cried just talking about my child one day graduating college (if that's what Lil Mo wants to do). @_matthew.morrison_ looked at me like I was crazy and then said let's just get through the birth... ha! The meaning of overwhelming has never been so real as well as being IN AWE of something. I am completely and utterly in awe of my husband and child inside of me as he/she is kicking my ribs right at this moment... 😍 anyway... here are some special moments of our first baby shower hosted by our loving friends.. thank you so very much @eton77 , @kljacoby , @rebectator , @sarahsandvig and all you other marvelous people who I proudly call family who helped with the occasion. M and I truly appreciate the spoiling from the bottom of our hearts! I feel like it just may explode one of these days!!! ❤💥 sending so much love to just everyone cuz I feel like I'm overflowing with it ☺💋#babyshower #morrisonadventures #lilmo
