The new daddy, who stars in the acclaimed miniseries Little Fires Everywhere, previously talked to Good Morning America about receiving parenting advice from co-stars Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon.

“Both of them were incredibly helpful, both in like, finding doctors, OBs, just resources of people to talk to, and then, frankly, just leading by example, because the both of them are not just actresses, but they run their own companies, they’re both mothers, they’ve integrated their family life and their professional life in a way that seems very healthy,” Jackson said. “So just watching how they navigate all of that, because next time I [go] to work, I’m gonna be a daddy.”

Jackson also shared that having a baby during the coronavirus pandemic was obviously “a bit stressful,” but confirmed at the time that both Turner-Smith and the baby were healthy and that they were self-isolating in their California home.

Congrats to the couple and we wish their newly formed family well!
