Jesse, 44, announced that he and Justin, 34, a lawyer, were expecting during an appearance on The Late Late Show in January. “This is something I haven’t even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but I’m actually expecting a baby in July with my husband,” he told host James Corden and fellow guest, Charlie Hunnam at the time.
