Ansel Elgort Confirms Birth of First Child on Instagram

He made the announcement after January paparazzi photos prompted speculation.

Overview

  • The 31-year-old posted a black-and-white portrait with his newborn son and described fatherhood as “exhilarating” and “exhausting.”
  • He shared a video of himself singing and playing guitar to the baby, captioning it “Goodmorning” with a smile emoji.
  • Elgort said he initially kept the news “sacred” but chose to share it as the “brightest happiest” experience of his life.
  • The baby is a boy, and Elgort has not disclosed the mother’s identity after earlier sightings with an unidentified woman in New York City.
  • Celebrity comments quickly followed, including a heart-eyes emoji from his The Fault in Our Stars co-star Shailene Woodley.
