Now, France has a happy update about his family. He and Rob are now fathers to a newborn son (via Today)! The star took to Instagram again to share the first photo of the couple with their little guy, writing, "Give our son a warm welcome."

The ecstatic celebrity parent then shared the tot's name: "Ismail France, born July 10th." According to BabyCenter, Ismail is an Arabic name and means "The Lord listens." As NPR reports, France is of Pakistani heritage, and grew up in England, devoted to his Muslim faith.

France told Today about the name choice, "I've always had a name in mind that I wanted to call my child. Thankfully Rob loves the name also. It's an Abrahamic name, which means it's Biblical, Jewish, Muslim, all of those."
