Jon Hamm got candid about becoming a father.

It is worth noting here that Jon tied the knot with wife, Anna Osceola in June 2023 and now the couple is expecting their first child.

During his recent appearance on the Today Show the Mad Men star revealed that he is getting “a lot” of parenting advice following the announcement.

“The best thing I keep hearing is how much it changes you for the better, and I’m excited,” the soon-to-be father added.

He went on to say, “I’ve been around kids my whole life. I’ve been a teacher, my nieces and nephews and all that stuff. So it’s thrilling and terrifying.”

However, in August a source confirmed their pregnancy and Jon's excitement over fatherhood to People Magazine, stating, “Jon’s incredibly excited. This is something he and Anna have wanted and hoped for.”

Adding, “He’s not thinking about his age or what anyone else has to say about it. He’s just really happy.”

They noted, “He’s happy, settled and ready for this,”

“Anna’s amazing and he feels very lucky that he gets to start a family with her,” the source added at the time.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Emmy winning actor is set to star in the planned film, Wilder & Me, however, the release date is not confirmed yet.
