James Wolk and his wife Elizabeth have welcomed their first child, a bouncing baby boy! The star of Mad Men and Zoo announced the happy news by sharing the sweetest photo on Instagram. The gorgeous image showed new dad James bending down to cradle his newborn, who was sweetly swaddled in a blanket. James, 31, also revealed his son's name: "Welcome to the world, Charlie Wolk. #babyboy #CharlieWolk #wolkpartyof3."
The actor has been counting down the days to his baby's arrival. Two weeks before he announced his son's birth, James posted an artsy photo of his wife Elizabeth posing side-on and revealing her very large bump. "Finish line," he simply captioned the image.
