Steve Kazee is ecstatic to show off his new little boy, whom he shares with fiancée Jenna Dewan.
This past Friday, the 44-year-old posted a photo of his son Callum Michael Rebel Kazee, who was born earlier this month on March 6.
“Hello my son…welcome to earth.” Kazee captioned the post on Instagram.
Dewan, 39, who shares daughter Everly, 6, with ex-husband Channing Tatum, shared how Callum was born via cesarean section to the 20-minute song “Devi Prayer.”
“It’s a very peaceful song,” she said. “It always puts me at ease. I put that on our playlist and I said to Steve, ‘If I ever start to look like I’m getting anxious or if I was having a rough time, just please play that.’ [Callum] was actually born to that song.”
The mother of two shared how first-time father Kazee was “incredible” throughout the pregnancy as well as birth.
“It was incredible to watch the awe in his eyes of experiencing birth for the very first time, and the first time he laid eyes on our son,” Dewan shared. “He was crying the whole time and he cut the umbilical cord. Seeing his transformation of becoming a dad was one of the best things I’ve ever witnessed. It was beautiful.”
She added: “Birth is such a bonding experience, you’re transformed at the end of it.”
Dewan posted a black-and-white photo of herself earlier this month holding her little one for the first time this month. “And just like that, our hearts exploded into all of eternity and beyond. Welcome to the world you little angel!” she wrote, revealing her son’s birth date and full name: Callum Michael Rebel Kazee.
Kazee revealed details of how Dewan and himself chose their first child’s name together in an Instagram Story, “We’ve had lots of questions about the name we chose for the little peanut so figured I would share a few things … “
Kazee went on to write how they were inspired to name their son Callum, which translates to “Dove” in Gaelic,“ because he has been so sweet and peaceful since landing in our arms.” Michael is Kazee’s middle name, while Rebel was decided on in honor of his mother Reba.
“I wanted a way to honor my mother. Her name was Reba but from a very young age her father called her Rebel,” he said. “And so … Callum Michael Rebel Kazee was born.”
