Luke Wilson has reportedly welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kendall Yates.
The new parents were seen with their baby at a press event Tuesday for Wilson's upcoming Netflix series, “The Hawk,” according to People and Page Six. The “Bottle Rocket” actor and his partner carried their newborn daughter in a baby carrier to the Newport Beach reception and introduced her to Wilson's castmates and other attendees, according to media sources.
Representatives for Wilson did not immediately respond Thursday to The Times' request for comment.
Wilson, 54, and Yates, 24, have reportedly been linked since at least 2023. They have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight, but they attended a party together after the Los Angeles premiere of Kevin Costner's “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” in 2024.
The “Idiocracy” actor has addressed his desire to have children and his role as an uncle over the years. In a 2007 People interview, Wilson, then single, mentioned that he “definitely wants[ed] [kids] at some point.” In 2023, while promoting “Merry Little Batman,” Wilson spoke of being “a pretty good guy” to his brother Owen Wilson's children.
“They're great little kids,” Wilson said of his nephews in an interview with Conan O'Brien in 2020. “The kind that make me want to have kids of my own, and I should have them sooner rather than later.”
“I just don't want to be one of those parents who has to pay someone in the neighborhood to throw the ball with their kid because I can't,” he joked.
