The Emmy Award-winning actor – who shot to fame playing rival choir leader on musical comedy series ‘Glee' – first announced Mia's pregnancy back in October, where he joked that the “ultimate spring collab” was on its way.
He wrote: “We've been making music for years.…But this time we made a BEAT. The ultimate collab droppin Spring 2022!”(sic)
During the pregnancy, Darren – who is currently starring on Broadway alongside Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell in classic play ‘American Buffalo' – joked that the new arrival would become a “Broadway baby.”
He told ETOnline: “I'm running out of words to say how excited I am. It's like the Scrabble board has run out of words. There will be a few opening nights! More than one opening night! Life abounds. I'm very grateful to be giving life to many things, including this play. The circumstances around it are very fortuitus and the poetry of it is not lost on me. I'm very pleased to be brining life into the world given the circumstances. A true Broadway baby!”
