“I asked…she said yes! …And we lived happily ever after,” Stamos captioned an illustration of the couple at Disneyland via Instagram in October 2017.

Two months before the couple’s February 2018 wedding ceremony, Us Weekly confirmed that Stamos and McHugh were expecting their first baby. The model gave birth to their son, Billy, in April 2018.

Stamos later gushed about his first weeks of fatherhood, telling Us, “I spend the most time just daydreaming about what his and our life will be like. There’s no wasting time anymore. That’s the best thing about being a dad.”

In February 2021, Stamos revealed that the pair were already planning to expand their family, complimenting his partner for being an “incredible” mom to their son.

“You can’t really leave him alone ever. I cover as much as I can, but it’s been a lot. But it’s also the most, hands-down, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever, ever experienced,” he told Us. “He just laughs. He is the most joyful kid I’ve ever been around. He just loves to laugh, wants to laugh. He’s a very happy kid and he should be, ‘cause he’s got good parents.”
