Have Mercy! John Stamos is a dad, People Magazine reports. The Fuller House star announced the news on Instagram, revealing he and wife Caitlin McHugh have welcomed a son. Stamos, 54, married actress Caitlin McHugh, 32, in February after popping the question at Disneyland last October. The couple had announced in December that they were expecting.
“From now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son. Welcome, Billy Stamos (named after my father),” Stamos, 54, captioned a photo of the newborn nestled on his chest. “#NotJustanUncleAnymore #Overjoyed”
