It’s not a bird, and it’s not a plane. It’s a baby. A baby boy to be exact.
Superman star Brandon Routh, 32, and his wife of five years, actress Courtney Ford, 34, became proud first-time parents on Friday. “We are in awe … we can’t take our eyes off him!” the two said. Leo James Routh weighed 8 lbs. and was 20 1/2 inches long, his rep confirmed in a statement to Hollywood.com.
The baby news comes a little more than a month away from the premiere of Routh’s new CBS show, Partners. In the fall series — which debuts on Sept. 24 — Routh plays the boyfriend of Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie’s character. If life imitated art, he would have some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy.
