“It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy,” the Los Angeles native and former Suits actress said as Harry cradled their son. “He has the sweetest temperament, he's really calm … he's just been the dream.”

“I don't know where he gets that from,” Harry joked.

“Parenting is amazing,” he added. “But we're just so thrilled to have our own bundle of joy and to spend precious time with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up.”
