Barinholtz also starred in the hit comedy Neighbors and can be seen next in Suicide Squad.

“We have a thread, the whole Squad is on this thread, so we randomly get pictures of [Ike] … being Dad,” Barinholtz’s Suicide Squad costar Jay Hernandez told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday.

And of course, when the actor does give glimpses into his life as a dad, they’re nothing short of hilarious.

“I’d trust him with my baby,” Barinholtz captioned an April Instagram snap of another Suicide Squad costar Joel Kinnaman cradling what appears to be little Payton.

Time to find some baby-sized Scrubs — Sarah Chalke is a mom again!

The actress and her fiancé, entertainment lawyer Jamie Afifi, welcomed daughter Frances Afifi on Thursday, April 28, Chalke confirms to PEOPLE.

Frances is named after her maternal great grandfather and will go by Frankie.

Frankie is the second child for the couple, who are already parents to 6½-year-old son Charlie Rhodes.

“I’m excited to have both experiences in having a girl and a boy,” Chalke, 39, tells PEOPLE. “I grew up with three girls and [when] I found out I was having a boy, I was like, ‘Wait, how do I do this?’ ”

“That’s been so fun,” the new mom of two continues. “I can’t imagine not having that — having a son and having lightsaber fights … it’s been cool getting to have the different experiences.”

In April Chalke’s rep confirmed the actress was expecting again.

And if the newest member of the Mother’s Day star’s household is anything like her big brother, she might want to develop an affinity for a certain vehicle to get that bond started early.

“Charlie loves nothing more in the world than diggers,” the Canadian actress told PEOPLE of her firstborn back in 2013. “He’s obsessed with diggers and backhoe loaders in particular — I’m very well schooled in all of this.”

He continued, “In making my choice, my goal is to live as best as possible these two great moments — to be there for the birth of my son, qualify France for the Olympics and end my career with France’s team with a beautiful Olympic medal which I can show my sons, Josh and Liam.”

It’s a miracle — Ellie Kemper is a mom!

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star, 36, and her husband Michael Koman have welcomed their first child, PEOPLE confirms. On Monday, Kemper’s costar Tituss Burgess revealed on Facebook that the baby is a boy.

“My Ellie had her baby. A son. But why am I emotional? He’s not mine,” the actor, who plays Titus Andromedon on the Netflix hit, wrote. “Also someone is gonna call her mom. I cannot wrap my head around it. Like she went into labor and pushed someone out. I can’t process it.”

No further details surrounding their son’s birth have been released. Kemper’s rep was unable to comment.

In April, Kemper announced her pregnancy on The Tonight Show, sharing how she revealed her news to the cast and crew of her show.

“[My pregnancy] didn’t really affect filming [Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 2] until the very end. We had a table read and I saw that my character was supposed to be on a roller coaster,” Kemper told Jimmy Fallon, who gifted the then-pregnant star with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s The Tonight Dough ice cream. “I was Googling pregnant women on roller coasters.”

The actress, who is also known for playing receptionist Erin Hannon on The Office and appearing in Bridesmaids, also said she had to let the show’s writer and executive producer Tina Fey in on her secret a little earlier than she had originally planned.

But before coming clean, she tried one last thing — a tactic that, admittedly, didn’t last long.

“Because it was still so early on we decided we’ll just tell people that I have a back injury and that’s why I can’t ride the roller coaster,” she said. “I could not act like I had a back injury. I kept forgetting I had one so I would do things someone with a back injury can’t do.”

Kemper continued jokingly, “They’d yell lunch and I’d leap up and [do] cartwheels to catering. You’re not supposed to do that!”

Kemper and Koman tied the knot in 2012.

The couple, who were married in 2013, announced their happy news in December, telling PEOPLE that they are “over the moon” at getting ready to welcome a baby into their lives.

“To say, ‘What Shawna is doing for us is the greatest gift,’ is an understatement,” Green, who had experienced fertility struggles, said at the time. “She truly is an angel in our lives and we will be forever grateful to her for her generosity toward us.”

Green was previously told by doctors that, due to factors including an endometriosis diagnosis, “there was no hope.” But she didn’t let that deter her from wanting to start a family.

“I refused to believe there was no chance,” she added.

Green shared they were expecting a baby girl exclusively with PEOPLE in March, months before she joked her surrogate had an inkling as to the sex.

“The surrogate is feeling … pregnant!” Green told PEOPLE in December of Johnson, whose pregnancy was admittedly not without complications as it progressed. “And a little sick. She thinks it’s a girl.”

The couple celebrated their daughter’s impending arrival with a Jack & Jill-themed baby shower in May. Among the guest list were fellow YouTube sensations iJustine and Todrick Hall.

“I thought it would be more fun that way,” Green told PEOPLE of her thought process behind the party theme.

“A lot of the onesies [decorated at the shower] were works of art, so I’m not sure if she’ll be wearing them or if we’ll hang them up in her room,” added the comedian at the time. “I can’t wait for her to meet everyone!”

Nate Parker Welcomes Daughter Justice

It’s the birth of a … daughter!

Birth of a Nation star Nate Parker and his wife Sarah DiSanto have welcomed their fourth child, daughter Justice, the 36-year-old actor and director confirmed to E! News at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Grants Gala on Thursday.

The couple, who met while attending Pennsylvania State University and married in 2007, are already parents to three young daughters.

Coincidentally, Parker grew up with four younger sisters.

“My father passed away when I was very young, so I was head of household for a very long time,” he previously explained to PEOPLE. “Whether it came to cooking food or having to braid hair to get kids out of the door for school, I’ve been one that has — with the help of my mother — been a father figure for a lot of young ladies.”

Justice is a fitting name for his new baby, as Birth of a Nation — which Parker wrote, produced and stars in — dramatizes Nat Turner’s 1831 slave rebellion.

The powerful period piece has already generated some serious Oscar buzz after winning the grand jury prize and audience award at Sundance — where its screening received a raucous standing ovation. It sold to Fox Searchlight for a record breaking $17.5 million, and earned an Oct. 7 release date, positioning it in a prime award season spot.

Parker won the breakthrough director of the year award at April’s CinemaCon for the film.

Turner’s story has been a labor of love for Parker, who first became captivated by it after transferring to the University of Oklahoma his junior year.

“In college, if someone [asked] me who my hero [was], the answer they’d get without hesitation was Nat Turner,” Parker told PEOPLE.

He added that he felt the urgency “to research him and learn about him and try to find ways into his life that I could apply to my life, with respect to his disposition toward injustice, with respect to his ideology around righteousness and faith.”

“Words can’t express how lucky and blessed we feel to introduce a new life into ours and that our wish has finally come true,” Pasutto captioned a snapshot of Harris and Nacho silhouetted in a doorway.

“@nachocilantro on the other hand, isn’t quite sure what that means for him but he’s excited too,” the new dad added.

The couple, who are eight years apart in age, have been together for four years — since Harris was 32 and Pasutto was 24. They wanted to wait a bit, as Harris wrote in her pregnancy announcement blog post, “for Justin to ‘catch up’ in age” to her, and decided late last year was prime to start trying.

“In late 2015, right before my 36 birthday, we ‘practiced for baby’ … and got lucky, we found out 12 days BEFORE my 36th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!” she wrote in the post.

The model, 27, welcomed her son with her NFL star husband AJ McCarron in May. And on Saturday, the new mom took to Instagram to share some adorable photos with her baby boy.

Webb-McCarron has not been shy sharing her post-baby body on her social media accounts. She showcased her after-baby bod in a mirror selfie with the caption, “Shopping for bikini season! Shameless selfie, but seeing progress just from breastfeeding. Pretty awesome how the body works! #1monthpostpartum.”

Instagram Photo

In the same post, she got candid about her body transformation while she was pregnant.

“I gained 44 lbs. during my pregnancy, so this post isn’t meant to be ‘humble,’ “she wrote. “Say what you want, but I feel great about myself even with the extra cellulite on my butt and stretch marks, so shoot me if I felt banging for once in this bikini.”

Just nine days after giving birth, Webb-McCarron shared that she had lost a whopping 20 lbs.

“Down 20, 24 more to go,” she posted on Instagram. “Although, loving these extra curves.”

It’s another boy for Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green!

The couple welcomed their third child together, son Journey River Green, on Thursday, Aug. 4, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

He joins big brothers Noah Shannon, 3½, and Bodhi Ransom, 2, as well as 14-year-old Kassius, Green’s son from a previous relationship.

Sources close to Fox, 30, and Green, 43, confirmed news of the actress’ pregnancy in April. That same month, she stepped out at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to promote her film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, sporting a visible baby bump.

Though Fox filed for divorce from Green — whom she has been with for more than 10 years — in August 2015, sources close to Green insist they have called off their split.

“Brian and Megan are living together in Malibu with their boys,” a source told PEOPLE in July. “They have been getting along and seem very happy. They are just waiting for the baby to arrive.”

In April, Fox and Green were photographed holding hands on the beach during a family vacation in Hawaii, where they were married in 2010. They’ve also been spotted out together many times since, from celebrating Fox’s 30th birthday to romantic dinner dates, to lunch outings with their two older sons.

In May, Fox joked to Jimmy Kimmel that she sensed her then-unborn son was a “super genius,” in the same vein as engineers Elon Musk and Wernher von Braun.

“This baby [wants] me to live somewhere else, so we’re moving to a whole different place in Los Angeles because I feel like that’s where this baby wants to be raised,” she said at the time.

Blake Lively does not care to know what you think of a woman’s body after giving birth.

During an appearance on Australian morning show Sunrise Lively, 28, tackled the issue after the interviewer complimented her bikini-ready body in her latest movie The Shallows — filmed months after Lively welcomed her first child, daughter James, now 19 months old.

“It’s so unfair though, because it’s so celebrated,” the pregnant actress said. “It’s like, this is what someone can look like after a baby. I think a woman’s body after having a baby is pretty amazing.”

Lively continued, explaining that new moms shouldn’t feel the pressure to immediately bounce back to their pre-baby body, because they’ve just created life.

“You don’t need to be Victoria’s Secret ready right away because you just did the most incredible miracle that life has to offer,” Lively added. “I mean you gave birth to a human being! So I would really like to see that celebrated.”

In April, a source close to the actress confirmed that she was expecting her second child with husband Ryan Reynolds.

It’s a girl for Eric Christian Olsen and Sarah Wright Olsen!

Daughter Esmé Olivia Olsen was born on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 8:55 a.m., the new mom of two announced Thursday on Instagram.

Esmé weighed 10 lbs., 12 oz. and is named after J.D Salinger’s short story For Esmé — with Love and Squalor, their rep tells PEOPLE.

“Love and joy don’t do justice to what I feel when I look at these three,” Wright Olsen captioned a sweet snapshot of Olsen with their two children, including big brother Wyatt Oliver3 next week.

Olsen also took to Instagram to celebrate Esmé’s arrival, writing, “I remember reading that how you approach birth is intimately connected with how you approach life, and after watching Sarah go through the process twice it’s undeniably true. Birth is like a whirlwind microcosm of the rest of the journey that is life and I am in awe of this woman; somehow navigating the most difficult moments with equal parts passion, fearlessness, and all encompassing love. I suspect she may be magic.”

And though Wyatt is seemingly excited to be a big brother, Wright Olsen’s biggest parenting fan might just be her husband.

“You hear people talk about cold feet, but there was never a moment of doubt with Sarah because no one makes me happier, no one makes me laugh more, and I can’t imagine a better mother for our future children,” Olsen, 39, told PEOPLE shortly following their nuptials.
