Actor Aaron Paul, most notably known for portraying the role of Jesse Pinkman on the TV series Breaking Bad, made an exciting announcement today. Aaron and his wife Lauren have welcomed their second child! Their little one arrived last month in March.

It’s a boy! The couple, who have been together for over 10 years, decided to name their son Ryden Caspian Paul. Lauren revealed the inspiration for Ryden’s moniker in her post, sharing that he is named after the couple’s favorite artist Mark Ryden. Both Aaron and Lauren had touching messages to share about their son in their announcement posts. The Dos Hombres co-founder wrote, “So happy you are out in this world you beautiful boy you. I promise to make you proud little guy. We have been absorbing this baby boy for the last month and feel it’s time to finally share the news of his arrival. We love you endlessly.”

For her post, Lauren wrote of her first son, “We’ve spent the last month getting acquainted with this little guy and we couldn’t be more in love. Born on a full moon, he has such a gentle and knowing spirit. I’m so deeply thankful that he chose us to be a part of his journey.” Aaron and Lauren welcomed their first child together in 2018, a daughter named Story Annabelle. The co-CEO of Finding Kind Productions enlisted Story’s help in announcing the news of their pregnancy last year when she posted an image of her daughter kissing her baby bump.

Congratulations to Aaron and Lauren on the arrival of baby Ryden! We wish their growing family lots of love.
