Numerous celebrities expanded their families in 2026. Former Bachelor contestant Sydney Warner announced in January that she welcomed her second baby with her husband, NFL star Fred Warner. They are not alone in their 2026 excitement, as Meghan McCain also celebrated baby No. 3 just a week later.

Tony, 42, and Annie, 40, who first crossed paths while performing at The Groundlings in Los Angeles, welcomed their son “following a deeply personal journey that spanned nearly a decade, including nine rounds of IVF.”

“After a short yet brave stay in the NICU, he is now snuggled in his parents’ arms, truly living up to his spirited name,” Tony and Annie stated to Us, adding, “In a full-circle moment, we manifested his name, Rowdy Bear, eleven years ago on our wedding day.”

During their 2015 wedding, the couple posed with a humorous photo booth picture featuring a large sign reading “Rowdy,” hinting at the name they chose for their son.

Both Tony and Annie are comedic actors, with Annie also pursuing a career as a jewelry designer and comedy writer.

Many celebrity parents have faced challenges on their path to parenthood, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. After their first attempt at in vitro fertilization failed, Teigen expressed self-doubt, stating, “You begin to search for something to blame, mostly yourself,” in an interview with New York Magazine’s The Cut in April.
