\n\tLuke Wilson<\/a> has been an actor in the industry for many decades now, but a new title has just caught the world by surprise. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a new report from People<\/a>, the 54-year-old actor recently welcomed his first baby with his much-younger girlfriend, Kendall Yates, 24. Per the outlet, the couple, who have been dating for at least the past three years and have a 30-year age gap between them, are proud new parents of a baby girl. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes shortly after the couple and their newborn daughter attended a press reception for Wilson\u2019s upcoming Netflix comedy series, The Hawk, on July 7, 2026. The press reception took place at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California. <\/p>\n

\n\tWilson and Yates, who reportedly kept their little one in a carrier, arrived at the event just after 5 pm and left together before the event wrapped at 7 pm. During their time, they even introduced their new bundle of joy to guests and Wilson\u2019s castmates, like Jimmy Tatro.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile they\u2019ve kept their relationship out of the public eye for the most part, Wilson and Yates made their public debut at the June 2024 premiere party for Horizon: An American Saga.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrior to that, Wilson had been candid about wanting to become a father. In fact, in a 2020\u00a0episode<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Conan O\u2019Brien\u2019s late-night show, Wilson talked about how his bond with his nieces and nephews had increased that desire. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think I am a fun uncle,\u201d he said, per Us Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI get along great with [their kids]; they are really fun kids. I mean, during this pandemic, I did have a\u00a0Shining-type moment with Owen\u2019s son Ford, where I was saying, \u2018You know I love you, Don\u2019t you, Ford? You\u2019re a good boy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI get along great with those guys, they\u2019re great little kids and definitely the kind that make me want to have some kids of my own, which I should get on sooner rather than later,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Owen Wilson is a dad to three kids, Robert Ford, born in 2011, Finn, born in 2014, and Lyla, born in 2018, Andrew Wilson reportedly only has one child, a son named Joey.<\/p>\n

\n\tA day before Wilson and Yates\u2019 outing with the baby, the actor also made headlines after being stuck in an elevator for half an hour at the\u00a030th anniversary of\u00a0his 1996 movie, Bottle Rocket, per People<\/a>. Wilson was stuck in the elevator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures alongside James L. Brooks\u2018 and the movie\u2019s legendary director, Wes Anderson. They were all rescued by the Los Angeles Fire Department. <\/p>\n

\n\tCarolyn Dunn, a production specialist for 20th Century Fox,\u00a0shared a video on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0showing the three of them emerging from the elevator after firefighters opened the doors. In the clip, The Grand Budapest Hotel director asks members of the LAFD what caused the malfunction.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cProbably had too much weight in there,\u201d one official responded, to which Anderson replied, \u201cOkay, thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBetween becoming a dad for the first time and having a crisis with your former director, this has certainly been a memorable week for Wilson!<\/p>\n
