Evan Ross could not be happier since becoming a father. The Hunger Games star, who welcomed daughter Jagger Snow with Ashlee Simpson in July, said his baby girl is "the best gift in the world".

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at People's One to Watch event, Evan opened up about what he's learned since tying the knot in August 2014.

"I've been wrong a long majority of my life," he said. "The biggest thing in this world is in love. I'm so in love. I love my daughter, I love my wife. She's given me the best gift in the world. I'm very lucky."

The 27-year-old also revealed how much his life has changed since he became a dad.

"She's the most beautiful thing you could ever think of," he said. "I'm proud to be a dad, and I'm going to make sure she knows she's loved, and that's all I can do."

Ashlee and Evan welcomed their baby girl at the end of July, and later proudly announced her name on their Instagram accounts. "We are overjoyed about the birth of our precious baby girl Jagger Snow Ross," the couple wrote.

Given that both Ashlee and Evan come from musical backgrounds, their choice of name might well have been inspired by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Evan had previously promised that the name would be "unique", adding: "You guys will figure out the story behind it once we tell the name."

A source confirmed to E! News: "The couple had their mind set on this name for a long time. They wanted something fun and different."

Little Jagger Snow is Ashlee's second child; she has a six-year-old son Bronx with her ex-husband, Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz.
