Ronen Rubinstein and Jessica Parker Kennedy have welcomed their first child, and the new parents couldn’t be more overjoyed! 

The couple’s beautiful bundle of joy, Boydd Parker-Rubinstein, was born on September 29, 2024.  Ronen shared the heartwarming news on Instagram, along with a series of touching images that capture the family’s precious first moments together.

The caption perfectly captured the joy and love felt by the entire family: “Boydd Parker-Rubinstein. Born September 29th, 2024.” 

The images posted by the account show Boydd surrounded by love from his adoring parents, and these intimate glimpses give fans a look at the tender early days of this growing family.

Little Boydd is simply adorable!

Wrapped snugly in a cozy blanket, Boydd is the picture of calm, as though he knows he’s already deeply cherished. Another adorable moment shows Boydd lying comfortably in Jessica’s arms as the family dog curiously watches over him, clearly ready to step into its role as protective furry sibling.

Jessica and Ronen, who married in a small, private ceremony in Calgary, Canada, in August, have both spoken openly about their dreams of starting a family. Ronen, best known for his role on 9-1-1: Lone Star, shared his joy at becoming a father, a role he’s dreamed of ever since high school.

“I’ve always wanted to be a dad,” Ronen revealed to HELLO! “It would be a wonderful thing to do, however and whenever it happens.” His devotion to family has been evident from the very beginning, and his excitement for fatherhood has been a consistent theme in his life.

Jessica, now 38, recalls being pleasantly surprised by Ronen’s candidness about fatherhood when they first met in 2017.

“I met him when he had just turned 23, and he kept talking about being a dad, which is very unusual for someone so young!” she laughed. For Jessica, the journey to motherhood was filled with both anticipation and challenges. She spoke openly about the societal pressures and the “terrifying” terminology used to describe pregnancies later in life, joking, “They call my eggs ‘geriatric,’ which is crazy. They use horrible words to terrify you!”

The couple’s journey to parenthood has been filled with love, with each of them finding time to focus on their thriving careers prior. While Ronen has been busy filming season four of 9-1-1: Lone Star, Jessica took on an exciting role as Medusa in the highly anticipated Disney series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
