In February, actor Wilmer Valderrama and his partner Amanda Pacheco shared they would be adding baby number two to their family. Now, the NCIS star has revealed the sex of his little one. The couple has also chosen a baby name for their baby.
A clip from an upcoming episode of My Cultura’s Dos Amigos podcast, set to release tomorrow, the actor announced the news with his co-host and friend Freddy Rodriguez. It’s a boy! Wilmer’s son will join the family with the couple’s first baby Nakano Ocean, who was born in 2021. The That 70s Show alum shared, “We’re having a boy, and we couldn’t be more excited to have the pair,” he added referring to having one boy and one girl.
Ahead of announcing his baby’s sex, Amanda shared a video going over old wives tales that included pregnancy cravings, heart rate, nausea, and skin condition. Most of the criteria pointed to a baby girl, but Amanda also included her mother’s intuition guess for her second baby and she correctly guessed a baby boy. The Encanto star shared that he and Amanda have decided what to name their son, but Amanda will be the one to share that news publicly. Their son will make his arrival this summer.
Wilmer and Amanda have been together since 2019. The two got engaged quickly, with the actor getting down on one knee on New Year’s Day in 2020. The couple hasn’t yet tied the knot but did welcome their first baby the year after their engagement.
Congratulations to Wilmer and Amanda on the news of their baby boy! We wish them all the best as they await their son’s arrival.
