It seems like Christmas came early for John Stamos! At 54 years old, the beloved actor has revealed that he's about to embark on one of life's most exciting journeys: fatherhood. His fiancée, Caitlin McHugh, is expecting their first child together, and John couldn’t be more thrilled. "I'll be a fun dad," he joked in a recent interview with People. "I've been practicing for a long time. I’ve done every schtick you can do with a baby on TV—all the bits, jokes, and diaper gags. I’ll probably just do all that stuff with my own kid."

John's Excitement Over Parenthood

John Stamos is no stranger to making people laugh, and his approach to parenthood seems to reflect that same playful spirit. In a heartfelt conversation, John expressed how eager he is to bring joy into his child’s life. "I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long," he said. "I think I’ll bring a lot of fun to the table, but at the same time, I want to be supportive and nurturing. Parenthood is a huge responsibility, and I’m ready to take it head-on."

Caitlin’s Thoughts on Being a Mom-to-Be

While John is brimming with excitement, Caitlin McHugh is equally thrilled about the arrival of their little one. Speaking about her soon-to-be husband, Caitlin shared, "John has the biggest, most loving, and generous heart of anyone I’ve ever met. I admire his creativity, ambition, work ethic, and humor—qualities I’m sure he’ll pass down to our child. He’s always been wonderful with kids, and I have no doubt he’ll be an amazing father. It’s such a blessing to start this new chapter with him."

    John feels incredibly lucky to have found someone as special as Caitlin. "I know my parents are smiling down from above," he told Entertainment Tonight. "They would absolutely adore her. Caitlin is gentle, kind, and graceful—a true soulmate. She’ll make a fantastic mother, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner as we prepare for this incredible journey." The couple got engaged after a magical Disney proposal in October, marking the beginning of their life together after nearly two years of dating. For John, this marks a fresh start following his previous marriage to Rebecca Romijn, which ended in 2005 without them having children.

    Just last month, John opened up about his dreams of becoming a father. "I hope [to have kids]," he confessed. "That’s always been part of my plan. It just took me longer than I expected to find the right person. But now, with Caitlin, everything feels perfect. It would be a tragedy if I didn’t have children, especially after meeting someone so incredible." Clearly, fate has aligned perfectly for John, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this happy family!
