His wife, Disturbia actress Sarah Roemer, 30, welcomed the child over the weekend and a beaming Chad took to Twitter to share the wonderful news.
“We’ve been blessed with a son. Gods greatest gift.”
Adding: “Sarah & I couldn’t b happier & intend 2 spend many a day having family adventures & watching football! & also @Chargers now.”
As for what kind of father he’ll be, the 33-year-old recently told E! News he would be giving his little one an active and joyous upbringing.
“I’m a respect first kind of guy, so I think certain things that I want my son to have is just respect and just to be a kind human being,” the 33-year-old said.
Adding: “I’m a big sports guy, an outdoorsy guy, so I’ll be having him fishing at 5, 6…to take him kayaking and hiking. I just keep thinking in my head, just trying to create 6-foot-5 quarterback.”
Following his divorce from his One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush in 2006, the all-American hunk went on to find love with actress and model Sarah, who he married in January this year.
No official word yet on the baby’s name.
Congratulations to the new family of three!
