Luke Wilson Breaks Silence After Welcoming First Baby

Luke Wilson is officially enlightened to parenthood.

Following the news that the Hawk actor welcomed his first baby with girlfriend Kendall Yates, he gave an update on life as a new dad.

“I’m doing pretty well,” Wilson exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the July 9 premiere of Netflix’s The Hawk. “It’s nice to be out before I go back to work on my shift.”

The 54-year-old added that he’s “very happy about” his parenthood chapter. 

His first comments on life as a dad come after multiple outlets reported that Yates, 24, had given birth to their first baby together, noting that the couple brought their newborn to a press reception for Wilson’s new Netflix series.

The duo—who were first linked in 2023—reportedly arrived at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, Calif., carrying their little one in a carrier and introduced their new addition to several of Wilson’s castmates, including Jimmy Tatro.
