“My wife had the baby, and I was there to support her while I was watching a livestream of the premiere,” he said, adding: “Yes, little Stevie Sky Chu.”
“I can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering,” Jon previously wrote on Instagram Story over a short video of Kristin and their newborn, adding: “Magic is in the air. Welcome to our world. You’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.”
The couple already have kids Willow, 7, Jonathan, 5, Ruby, 3, and Iggy, 20 months.
“I’m so sorry I can’t be there,” he said to the crowd in a pre-recorded clip at the LA premiere. “It’s November 9. I was at the hotel across the street, ready to come. My whole family’s there. My friends, all our loved ones are there. And I’ve waited for three years to have this moment to share our movie with you… but I’ve waited my whole life to have this moment, to have our fifth child right now.”
“Of course this little girl knows when to show up. So anyway, I wish I could be there. But here I am,” he said. Congratulations to the happy family!
