\u201cIt\u2019s just what everybody says about it, but I\u2019m just trying to do a good job,\u201d Wilson, 54, told Entertainment Tonight<\/i><\/span><\/a> <\/i>at the Thursday, July 9, premiere of The Hawk<\/i>. \u201cI\u2019m very proud to be a dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

News broke earlier this week that Wilson and Yates, 24, quietly welcomed a baby<\/span><\/a> and later brought their little one to a Tuesday, July 7, press event for Wilson\u2019s new show The Hawk.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wilson and Yates, who never publicly revealed that they were expecting a baby, have been romantically linked since 2023. They made their public debut the next year at the June 2024 premiere party for Horizon: An American Saga.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLuke Wilson is reportedly a dad! People reported on Wednesday, July 8, that Wilson, 54, and his girlfriend, Kendall Yates, recently welcomed their first baby together. According to the outlet, the couple brought their infant daughter to a Tuesday, July 7, press event for Wilson\u2019s new Netflix comedy, The Hawk, at the The Resort at [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wilson and Yates have not publicly revealed the infant\u2019s name or sex, but the actor had long expressed his hopes to expand his family after seeing brothers Owen <\/b>and Andrew Wilson <\/b>become dads themselves. (Owen, 57, shares son Robert with Jade Duell,<\/b> son Finn with Caroline Lindqvist<\/b> and daughter Lyla with Varunie Vongsvirates<\/b>, while Andrew, 61, is the dad of a daughter.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I am a fun uncle,\u201d Luke said on a 2020 episode of Conan O\u2019Brien<\/b>\u2019s late-night show. \u201cI get along great with [their kids]; they are really fun kids. I mean, during this pandemic, I did have a, kind of, Shining-type moment with Owen\u2019s son Ford, where I was saying, \u2018You know I love you, Don\u2019t you, Ford? You\u2019re a good boy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He added at the time, \u201c\u201cI get along great with those guys, they\u2019re great little kids and definitely the kind that make me want to have some kids of my own, which I should get on sooner rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke, however, was admittedly wary about welcoming kids himself at an advanced age.<\/p>\n
